The Basics of the GRE Quantitative Section
There is one scored math section on the GRE consisting of 14 quantitative comparisons and 14 problem-solving questions, of which 3 or 4 will be graph questions. If your experimental section is also quantitative, you will have two quantitative sections, only one of which will be scored.
Quantitative Comparisons
Quantitative comparisons do not require you to solve for a particular value; rather, they ask you to compare two quantities and try to determine which, if either, is larger. Each quantitative comparison displays two mathematical expressions in boxes—one in Column A and one in Column B. Sometimes additional information is provided.
Problem Solving
Problem solving questions test various math concepts, including percentages, simultaneous equations, symbolism, special triangles, multiple and odd-ball figures, mean, median, mode, range, and probability. Several problem solving questions test your ability to read graphs, interpret data, and solve math problems.
