Note: Each Quantitative Reasoning section contains a mixture of all 3 types
Pacing Strategy
• Quantitative Comparison Questions:
• 7-8 questions (approximate)
• 1.5 minutes each (approximate)
• Problem Solving Questions
• 9-10 questions (approximate)
• 1.5-2 minutes each (approximate)
• Data Interpretation Questions
• 3 questions (approximate)
• 2 minutes each (approximate)
Quantitative Reasoning Section - Tips
• Remember, GRE Quantitative sections are Reasoning Tests
• Questions are not designed to require Lengthy Computations
• Data Interpretation questions require Interpreting Numbers & Data
& using Critical Thinking Skills
• Problem Solving questions will require more Algebra than
calculating
• Quantitative Comparison questions will require more Reasoning
than calculating
