The Revised GRE is a long, grueling test. To get a perfect score on the quantitative section (a 170) you will not only have to answer the difficult questions correctly, but you will also have to answer all of the easy ones. Nonetheless, I\u2019ve focused on the difficult questions for the 170-challenge. I can\u2019t promise a perfect correlation, but something tells me that if you can answer all five of these questions correctly in less than 10 minutes, you are well on your way to a perfect score.<\/p>\n

Of course missing a few hardly precludes a perfect score. But make sure you learn from the ones you miss to make sure you don\u2019t make similar mistakes in the future. And if time is a problem, remember the Magoosh GRE product has plently of questions to help you hone your chops\u2014both from a pacing and a conceptual standpoint.<\/p>\n

Good luck, and feel free to post your answers. Let\u2019s see who the first perfect score will be!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1. \"(s^3)(t^3)\u00a0 If s and t are both primes, how many positive divisors of v are greater than 1, if v is an integer?<\/p>\n

(A)\u00a0 two<\/p>\n

(B)\u00a0 three<\/p>\n

(C)\u00a0 five<\/p>\n

(D) six<\/p>\n

(E)\u00a0 eight<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2.\u00a0A quadrilateral has a perimeter of 16. Which of the following alone would provide sufficient information to determine the area of the quadrilateral. Choose ALL that apply.<\/p>\n

[A] \u00a0The quadrilateral contains equal sides<\/p>\n

[B] \u00a0The quadrilateral is formed by combining two isosceles right triangles<\/p>\n

[C] \u00a0Two pairs of congruent angles are in a 2:1 ratio<\/p>\n

[D] The width is 4o% of the length and all angles are of equal measure<\/p>\n

[E] \u00a0If the perimeter was decreased by 50%, the area would decrease to 25% of the original<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3.\u00a0Product Question: Triangle in a Parabola<\/p>\n

(A)\u00a0 61<\/p>\n

(B)\u00a0 62<\/p>\n

(C)\u00a0 75<\/p>\n

(D) 93<\/p>\n

y = 45,000<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
Column A<\/span><\/th>\nColumn B<\/span><\/th>\n<\/tr>\n
The total number of positive divisors of x<\/td>\nThe total number of positive divisors of y<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

 <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The quantity in Column A is greater<\/li>\n
  2. The quantity in Column B is greater<\/li>\n
  3. The two quantities are equal<\/li>\n
  4. The relationship cannot be determined from the information given<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    <\/div>\n
