Worked practice questions

Per ETS, GRE Quant tests four content areas. Which is NOT one of them?

  1. Arithmetic (integers, primes, ratios, percent)
  2. Trigonometry (sines, cosines, identities)
  3. Algebra (equations, inequalities, coordinate geometry)
  4. Data Analysis (mean, median, graphs, probability)
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. Trigonometry (sines, cosines, identities)

ETS specifies the four content areas as Arithmetic, Algebra, Geometry, Data Analysis. Trigonometry, calculus, and higher math are explicitly excluded: 'The content... does not include trigonometry, calculus, or other higher-level mathematics.' If you see a sine or derivative, you've misread the question.

Per ETS, the most common error on Numeric Entry questions is

  1. typing letters instead of numbers
  2. exceeding the character limit of the input box
  3. answering before reading the question
  4. right magnitude with wrong sign or wrong unit
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: D. right magnitude with wrong sign or wrong unit

ETS warns to 'pay attention to signs (positive vs negative) and units'. The arithmetic is often right; the entry is wrong. A profit-vs-loss problem flips sign a metres-vs-cm problem multiplies by 100. Either way, exact magnitude with wrong sign or unit is automatically marked incorrect.
