The GRE Quantitative section contains three question types.

  • Problem Solving questions are regular math problems with five answer choices. 
  • Data Interpretation questions require you to interpret quantitative information from graphs and charts and then answer questions relating to that information.
  • For Quantitative Comparison questions, you must evaluate two values to determine whether one is greater, whether the two values are equal, or whether the relationship cannot be determined from the information provided in the question.

GRE Quantitative questions test a limited range of  basic mathematical concepts, such as:

  • Arithmetic, such as number properties, fractions, averages, ratios and rates, and probability.
  • Basic algebra
  • Basic geometry, including lines, triangles, polygons, and circles.
  • Bata Interpretation and interpretation, through graphs and charts. 

inlingua GRE Quantitative Fact

Mastering the GRE Quantitative section requires practice. Many test takers who are great at math score poorly on the GRE, not because they’re not good at math, but because they don’t know how to apply their math knowledge to the types of questions that appear on the test.

Your inlingua GRE instructor will make sure not only that your basic math skills are solid, but more importantly, that you know how to apply those skills to GRE Quantitative questions to achieve a higher score on the test.
