Official GRE Quantitative Reasoning Practice Questions

Rule#1 for preparing for the GRE: Only use official GRE questions written by the GRE test writers. Do not waste your valuable time on substandard questions written by test prep companies. The GRE was revised in the fall of 2011 and so far the only relevant book released by ETS is the The Official Guide to the GRE Revised General Test, 2nd Edition . Other than that the key piece of software is the free Official PowerPrep II software(go to ETS's GRE website) that provides two computer based test. This new guide provides a set of 150 practice questions. The first half of the book has 75 practice questions that are split between the four main topics on the GRE: Arithmetic, Algebra, Geometry, and Data Analysis. The second set of 75 questions are part of three practice sets. I would recommend doing these tests under timed conditions, 25 questions in 40 minutes. Although, this timing is different from the computer based tests(20 questions in 35 minutes), but the overall correspondence between the two formats is the same. Read page 139 of the book for further details on how the test writers recommend you to use these sets. All in all I highly recommend this book to anyone who is preparing for the revised GRE test. I am in the process of creating the video explanations for all of the 150 questions that will be hosted at www.grequantum.com.

I appreciate the practice questions and the following explanations for each of them. I also like how the book doesn't give you the detailed explanations in the answers so I'm forced to figure out the steps they skipped in order to get the correct answer. I think that's a great way of studying for the GRE because you're more inclined to remember what you studied/learned. This is not to say this is the end all and be all for studying the quantitative section of the GRE, I would definitely recommend adding other study books in your arsenal. But, for a general brush up on math, this is a good book.

This review book is amazing, since it's made by the test makers of the GRE the questions accurately reflect the questions on the the GRE General Revised Test. Similarly, the test makers explain the scoring of the exam: ranges from 130 to 170 for both the math & verbal, with a score of 1 to 6 for the essay. Anyways, I used this practice book for a GRE prep course in which we used both this book along with the verbal one by ETS along with Barron's 6 GRE Practice Tests. In the course we practiced timing for each of the sections on the test. Similarly, from the ETS website I downloaded the practice test software to get comfortable taking the test online. The books even covers basic math foundation as well as calculus and algrebra review (as well as other topics in math) that some of us may have not used in quite some time. If you are still not confident on the math, I would suggest watching math videos from Khan Academy and re working problems that give you difficulty. The textbook came well within the expected delivery time and as described, as a new book. This is a must for all those taking the GRE, even if you were part of a prep course I would suggest buying both the verbal and quantitative books to time yourself while taking the practice questions. Also, use these books for preparation of your own. Anyways, I can't stress the importance of these books enough for those preparing for the GRE, just buy these books for your preparation.

I am a professional GRE tutor with 15 years of experience. Let's get to the point (you can also read my detailed review of the Official GRE Super Power Pack). Pros: Plenty of GRE Practice Questions (150 total - about 4 tests' worth) Realistic Difficulty Levels Cons: -Answer explanations are often severely lacking -Supplementary math review is often needed For that purpose I recommend: CliffsNotes Math Review for Standardized Tests, 2nd Edition (CliffsTestPrep) I strongly suggest that you purchase the GRE Super Power Pack instead, because the questions in the Verbal and Math supplements are closer to what you will see on the real GRE. Official GRE Super Power Pack Please google "GRE Action Plan - McElroy Tutoring" for a cornucopia of additional GRE preparation tips.

I bought this after disappointing results on the GRE. It gave me those "missing" tidbits of information that I wished I would have had the first time around. I ended up going from a 152 quant to a 160, so it obviously worked! This is a good REVIEW book. You still have to understand the overall concepts. What it helped me most with where the quadratics and the coordinate planes. I still had to YouTube the permutation and combination methods.

This book is useful for 'practice only' to someone who already understands or has a good hand on arithmetic, geometry, data analysis, and so on. If you haven't applied anything other than basic arithmetic for a long period of time (maybe your previous 'field' or job didn't require extensive math) or are just generally bad with numbers, then the majority of this book is probably going to be confusing for you. The explanations after each question are very cut and dry and not written in a step by step process to teach the reader. Sometimes the answer explanation after a problem makes it seem like the writer pulled a number from thin air to get to the correct answer whereas other study guides explain where that mystery number came from in a more thorough step by step process. Don't get me wrong, the questions are on point to how they appear and are worded on the actual GRE so it is worth looking over but again, it's geared for practice not for learning the actual step by step process to solve math problems.

I'm just going to copy my review of the companion verbal reasoning book here because I used and appreciated them both the same: This is absolutely the best resource you can buy for the GRE (along with the quantitative reasoning companion book). The questions are written by the same people as those who write the test so the level is perfect. There are explanations and the format makes it very easy to use. I used these books in conjunction with a few free apps like magoosh vocabulary builder and I did decently well (163 on both). I worked through all questions in both books over a period of 3 weeks or so.

As a test prep expert @ www.SuccessPrep.com, we use this textbook for homework practice with our students. This GRE book is the best collection of GRE Math relevant questions from the official makers of the test. This is the closest you will get to test day questions. The 3 practice tests really help our students get a feel of what GRE math questions look like.

Great book. Must buy as it is written by the test makers. Would give you a real feel as to what to expect on the test day. Good quality questions. However for people wanting to get a perfect scote on Quant must move on to 5lb book by Manhattan Prep. :)

Consegna puntuale e oggetto in ottimo stato. Personalmente, ritengo questo libro sufficiente per iniziare a preparare la Quantitative Section del Gre. Tuttavia, consiglio di acquistare anche ulteriore materiale per una preparazione più approfondita.

Awesome book cover almost everything

Devant passer le GRE, j'ai acheté ce livre pour réviser la partie "Quantitative Reasonning". Beaucoup de questions sont similaires à celles que l'on peut trouver sur le site du GRE, mais il y en a beaucoup plus. Ce livre contient les questions de mathématique. Cependant, il n'a pas pour but d'enseigner les concepts, mais seulement de les réviser même s'il contient une superbe section "review". Comme je n'avais pas fait de maths depuis longtemps, il m'a permis de tout réviser ce dont j'avais besoin avant le test. Un conseil, faites bien les tests de manière chronométrée, car le temps passe rapidement le jour J. Les questions présentent sont similaires à celles que l'on retrouve dans le vrai test. Vous n'aurez donc pas de surprise. Pensez aussi à utiliser la calculatrice spécifique du GRE présentée dans ce livre, ça vous permettra de gagner du temps.

この度初めてGREを受験するため購入しました。Verbal reasoningは対策期間が取れないため捨てました。WritingはIELTSのWritingと傾向が同じものが半分は出るためIELTS対策のみして臨みました。本書は実際の試験問題と同レベルの問題が多数採用されており、Quantitative reasoning対策としては十分でした。第二部のPractice testまで一回解き、そこまでに出てきた専門用語を覚えました。10日間の対策で実際の試験ではScore 167点取れました。問題文の意味が分からない問題が数問出ましたが、それ以外は自信を持って解ききれました。一点注意ですが、実際の試験は35分で20問を解き、それが3セットあります。最初はレベルが優しく、高得点を取ると難度が上がってきます。
