Re: Harder GRE Questions

Hello, and great question...
In general just about any topic covered on the GMAT Quant can be covered on the GRE Quant section. However, the GRE does largely de-prioritize technical algebra and arithmetic, so there are fewer direct algebraic or arithmetic translation and manipulation problems on the GRE. That said, the combinatorics, probabilities, plane geometry, coordinate geometry, 3-D geometry, arithmetic, and sequence concepts from the GMAT are all fair game on the GRE too.
Another thing to remember is that the GRE expects each Quant question to be completed in :15 seconds fewer on average and provides a calculator, so the main topic that is missing in the GRE as compared to the GMAT will be manual calculation questions.
Hope this helps, and please feel free to post any follow up queries!
