<p>I am preparing for GRE and will be taking the test next year which leaves me with ample amount of time to prepare well. Being from an arts background Quant is my weakness & I would not hesitate to say that I dread mathematics. Iv taken a few prep tests and done fairly well in verbal but its just the opposite for quant. I found this online help Improve</a> your GRE Quantitative Score: Online Course . I am just doubtful if I should go for this.. I want a resource that can help me start with my basics. Please suggest if its good enough.
Thanks</p>
<p>GRE is very tuff exam to be prepare & clear. you need a lot of practice to do for this exam. GRE test papers include quantitative, aptitude, reasoning, verbal reasoning, English. In quants you have to prepare from a very basic maths terms( like [What</a> is Independent Variable](<a href=“http://math.tutorvista.com/algebra/independent-variables.html]What”>http://math.tutorvista.com/algebra/independent-variables.html), algebra, polynomials) to the higher terms(like Trigonometry, Geometry, Calculus, P & C etc). Total questions in quants are 28 & time duration is 45 minutes. so you can easily guess what is the level of paper. After your preparation you can take online test to check & improve your level. These test will help you in scoring better in exam.</p>
<p>There is no calculus on the General GRE test. </p>
<p>“The content in these areas includes high school mathematics and statistics at a level that is generally no higher than a second course in algebra; it does not include trigonometry, calculus or other higher-level mathematics. The Math Review (PDF) provides detailed information about the content of the Quantitative Reasoning measure.”</p>
<p>[GRE</a> Revised General Test: Quantitative Reasoning](<a href=“http://www.ets.org/gre/revised_general/prepare/quantitative_reasoning/]GRE”>GRE General Test Quantitative Reasoning Overview)</p>
<p>I would recommend downloading the quantitative information ETS has on their website and then possibly looking at either purchasing or borrowing (if your public library has them available) GRE quantitative workbooks or general GRE workbooks.</p>
<p>I highly recommend the ETS practice book. Very good book to use imo, becuase the questions look exactly the same for math. Studying for the test is more than just practice- it’s practice AND understanding the intricacies of the test itself. If you keep practicing without thinking about what you got wrong or right, you won’t do any better.</p>
<p>What you need to do is analyze each question, and learn PATTERNS. You will notice they will always throw a lot of questions that are solved the exact same way, but with slightly altered parameters or variables. I personally practiced and analyzed the test until I had nearly all of these “patterns” down to an art, and increased my diagnostic score by 8 points. :)</p>
<p>quant easy as SAT pretty much, back to high school!!</p>
