The questions on the GRE are broken down in a specific format. In order to do your best, it is important to know how to navigate through the different question types in order to maximize your score.

Remember the actual structure of the new Shorter GRE

1st quant section:

• 4 quantitative comparison, 1 question of select one or more, 3 questions on data interpretation (Q6-8 was data interpretation), 3 problem solving questions and 1 numeric entry question.
  
  Q1)Quantitative Comparison
  
  Q2)Quantitative Comparison
  
  Q3)Quantitative Comparison
  
  Q4)Quantitative Comparison
  
  Q5)Select one or more
  
  Q6-8 were data interpretation
  
  Q9) Problem-solving
  
  Q10) Problem-solving
  
  Q11) Problem-solving
  
  Q12)Numeric entry

Remember, you get the same number of points for the really quant questions as you do the really easy ons. That is not to say you won’t spend more time on a QCQ then on a PS. If you feel any one question is eating up an inordinate amount of time, then skip it and come back to it. The upside to this is not just saving time; often your brain is more likely to “get it” when, with fresh eyes, you look at the question again.
