Ever read a GRE word problem and feel overwhelmed right away? You’re not alone—and there’s a much easier way to handle them. In this video, Erika Tyler-John, expert GRE instructor with a 339 score, 10+ years of teaching experience, and 4M+ YouTube views, shares a simple but powerful strategy that makes even the longest GRE word problems manageable.

You’ll see this approach applied to two challenging GRE word problems from the Target Test Prep course that more than half of students miss—plus a bonus question at the end.

Rather than trying to process everything at once, Erika shows how to break word problems down step by step, translate text into math cleanly, and stay in control from start to finish.

This method helps reduce overwhelm, avoid traps, and improve accuracy on GRE Quant—especially on questions you should be getting right.

What You’ll Learn:

• How to process GRE word problems one piece at a time
• How to avoid missing critical details in long question stems
• How to stay organized and calm on complex Quant questions
• How to improve accuracy and consistency on GRE word problems
