A query in for GRE [#permalink]

18 May 2019, 07:37

Hello everyone!
Recently, I've seen that a lot of people have been talking that the level of the quantitive part in GRE has increased susbstantially. Post that they also mentioned that, those two complimentary tests which are given to us, post the registration of Exam consists of very low level of math, which overexagerates you emotion and test day on the other hand turns to quite devastating.
Can anyone put some light on this please?

Thankyou.

Hi Tarang100,

I, too, do not really understand what you are asking. If you need some advice, please re-explain your question, and I’d be happy to help.

Thankyou.

In 2011, the test-makers made several changes to the GRE, and these changes included the addition of a FEW extra topics (boxplots, normal distributions, etc). The changes were definitely NOT substantial.

As for whether the official practice tests are reliable indicators of your score on test day, I'd say that the official practice tests are good predictors.
Keep in mind that the test is computer adaptive by section.
So, if you perform really well in the first quant section, then the questions you see in the second quant section will be quite hard.
Conversely, if you perform poorly in the first quant section, then the questions you see in the second quant section will be easier.

Cheers,
Brent
