Strategy to Max the GRE Quant Section

Although GRE exam Quantitative section tests the high school mathematics knowledge of a candidate, the right answers can be hard to get. The GRE presents the section broadly as Problem Solving and Data Interpretation questions. In order to prepare for the quant section, being strong in core math concepts is a must but not sufficient. There are several tricks and shorter/easier methods that can be applied to get a high score within the given time. But candidates should be careful to use only those methods which they are comfortable with. Here are the important Mathematics tips to max the section: Assess your Basic Mathematical Skills: Begin the quant preparation by assessing what is your level of proficiency in each topic of the syllabus. This will give you a clear indication on how much to focus on which chapter. Work on strengthening these core concepts. Be Certain of the Quant Section Format: In order to study in a focused manner, it is important to know what kind of questions appear and how many. This kind of clarity can be obtained from the official website. Once you are clear on what is being tested, you can eliminate the not important topics and focus on what is expected. Form Equations out of Word Problems: Word problems in the problem solving section can be very long and misleading. As you prepare for word problems, try to represent the words as variables and equations. This ensures you do not miss any information and also save time from repeated reading of the problem. Practice enough to master this. Examine the Graphs and Tables Carefully: Data interpretation problems are the toughest to get right in the quant section. Even though they test basic math concepts, the questions are not straightforward. While reading graphs and tables, pay attention to the title, units of measurement, general trend of data and so on. Identify what conclusions can be drawn with the data that is available. This helps in avoiding any mistakes while answering data interpretation questions. Do Not Calculate in Comparison Questions: There are some questions in the GRE quant section which require you to compare quantities. In such cases reduce the quantities to comparable standard forms and then answer based on the options available. These questions are meant to be solved by comparing like terms instead of calculating. Practice a Lot to Ensure No Computational Error: Practicing all kinds of problems is the only way to assure yourself of accuracy and time management. These are key aspects to attain a high score. While practicing also analyze which method suits what kind of problems. This will save you the mix up of deciding which method to choose on the exam day.
