<p>Do they still have the quantitative comparisons in the math section?</p>
<p>I also loved the analogies. Also thanks for the link to the equivalence tables, gave my ego a boost. My group was a one and done crowd and we took the ACT and the SAT in spring of junior year.</p>
<p>fignewton–though I did well on them, i think the GRE analogies were much subtler than the SAT ones. The vocab was definitely at a higher level. I can mow through old SAT analogies all day, but I had to stop and think at some of the finer tuned ones on the GRE (esp on the day of the test. I nailed all the practice ones, then got one or two puzzlers that day–go figure.) But my brain did enjoy the workout.</p>
<p>Back in the day, nobody studied for SATs, you just showed up and took them one Sat morning, and you probably worked the night before. And the only kids who retook them were those who bombed them horribly.</p>
<p>Hmmmm. There are still a lot more of us living “back in the day” than you folks on CC could imagine.</p>
<p>I was kind of glad they got rid of analogies for my younger one. He was the sort of kid who when given the following list and asked which one didn’t belong:</p>
<p>“gun, lance, tank, frying pan” would pick “lance” because it was the only one made of wood.</p>
<p>Oh, how unfortunate. Gun is the only word that does not contain the letter A. Tank is the one item that cannot be handheld. ;)</p>
<p>S liked analogies, I think. He took GRE and LSAT in 2005/2006, so not sure if he did or did NOT have analogies.</p>
<p>It can be tough when you don’t think like the testmakers or “overthink” the questions.</p>
