Lexi88 Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Hello All! I wanted to ask how difficult is the GRE Quant portion? I have the Cracking the GRE 2016 edition and Ii understand the lessons and how to do the problem in the examples but when i finish the chapter nd try the practice test it doesn't match anything that its teaching the subjects. The question is totally different from what they're teaching me so I wanted to know are the math questions really as difficult as the practice test are making it out to be?

Vince Kotchian GRE Prep Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Cracking the GRE isn't a very good way to prepare for the real GRE for lots and lots of reasons, one of which is that the questions aren't very much like real GRE questions. It's important to practice with real questions which are primarily found in the ETS books. Your performance on those, and on the ETS Powerprep tests, will be much more indicative of how you would do on the real GRE. I just wrote a blog describing the entire process of studying for GRE math. Might be helpful to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lexi88 Posted February 28, 2017 Author Share Posted February 28, 2017 Is there any updated versions for the ETs test review online or is the most recent 2012? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince Kotchian GRE Prep Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 You mean the Powerprep 2 software? Whatever's on the ETS website is the most current. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quantitative_Psychology Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Some people swear by Magoosh. I find it to be particularly helpful if you need review on some of the math concepts (been years since I took geometry). If you have the $150 to spare for a 6 month membership, it could be very helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
