Char123 Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 I am pretty confident with my quantitative ability, but I would like to get a perfect score. Usually the questions I get wrong are because I am not reading the question carefully or made a stupid mistake, but occasionally I will miss a question because I don't know how to attack the problem or I didn't understand the problem statement. What books out there are good for for GRE Q practice? I would prefer not to waste my time with relatively easy problems, but I also don't want to practice a bunch of extremely difficult problems that are outside of the scope of the test. Somewhere in between would be best. I guess the section I am weakest on is: permutations&combinations, the really tricky ones (e.g., if I have 5 options, but you can only pick 3 and 2 of them can't work together - these are the ones that I have trouble with).

justsomeguy75 Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Magoosh is perfect and it's online (they have 581Q and 521V questions), and each question comes with a video that explains how to solve the question. The only issue is that the hard/very hard questions are most of the time out of the scope of the difficulty of the real GRE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I assume that it is the reason why they claim the ability to improve people's score so drastically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yhakak Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 it's been a while since i took the test, but i really like the princeton review approach. I know it's not for everyone, but from what you're describing you have no problem with the material, it's a matter of cracking the test questions themselves, and that's what the princeton review specializes in...

hedong123 Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 I agree that Magoosh is good...but for permutation/combination problems get the Manhattan word problems book. You can get it used on Amazon for around 10 bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
