On GRE test day, you will have two Quant sections, each of which will include a data interpretation set. If you’re not sure what this entails or you just want to get some GRE math practice in, keep reading for our breakdown and practice problems. Data Interpretation on the GRE Quant Each Quant section will […]

Get your GRE math practice in with these nine GRE Quantitative Comparison questions, ranging in difficulty from moderate to quite hard (arguably as hard as, or perhaps harder than, anything you would see on the GRE Quant section).  Solutions will come at the end of the article.  Remember: don’t touch a calculator! 1)     […]

Here is a batch of 7 practice QC questions.  Explanations will come at the end of the article. Note: all quantitative comparison questions have the same four answer choices.  I didn’t copy the answer choices for each question in this post, so please note the answer choices below: a. Quantity A is greater. b. Quantity B […]

Here are ten GRE math practice questions to get you ready for Quantitative Comparison. All of these can and should be done without a calculator. Solutions will come at the end of this article. 1) 2) The number n is an integer greater than 2 3) The number x satisfies the restriction 4) 5) Set S […]

Over the last six months, I’ve gone through quite a few Revised GRE prep books. One thing I’ve noticed missing is difficult questions relating to mean, median, and mode. Sure, most books describe how to find the average, and what the difference between the mean and the median. Many already know the above, but mean, […]

Below are some tough word problems that require both close reading and sharp problem solving skills. To make these already difficult questions even more fiendish, I’ve made each a Numeric Entry question (sorry, no cool boxes). In some of the questions below, there are a few possible solution paths, some more elegant than others. If […]

A relatively common exponent question on the GRE will ask you to figure out the units digit of some number raised to an exponent, which usually results in a number roughly equivalent to the number of grains of sand in the Sahara, and thus out of reach of the GRE calculator. Take a look at […]

First off, here’s a tricky algebraic QC: 1) x > -3 If you find this puzzling, this article discusses an efficient method for handling such problems.  Before we talk about that,  a quick refresher on a few basic ideas dealing with equations and inequalities. Intro to Arithmetic Suppose you have an equation, P = Q.  […]
