GRE Rate Questions Trick | Advanced Strategy for Complex Problems
GRE rate questions can get messy fast. Converging objects. Catch-up scenarios. Relative motion. If GRE Quant rate problems feel harder than they should, this video will change how you approach them.
In this lesson, Erika Tyler-John, expert GRE instructor with a 339 score, 10+ years of teaching experience, and 4M+ YouTube views, shares a smart and underused strategy for solving GRE distance-rate questions more efficiently.
You’ll see this technique applied to four different types of GRE rate problems from the Target Test Prep GRE course. Although most students learn the combined rate formula only for work rate questions, Erika shows how the same idea can be used for distance problems—cutting down steps and reducing the risk of careless errors.
What You’ll Learn:
How to apply combined rates to GRE distance problems
How to simplify hard GRE Quant rate questions
How to avoid time-wasting GRE rate setups
When to add rates and when to subtract them
How to identify the true question target on GRE rate problems
If you’re aiming to boost your GRE Quant score and want a cleaner, more reliable way to handle difficult rate questions, this is a strategy worth mastering.
