What are some tough GRE math questions?

By spartan

The GRE math section, or Quantitative Reasoning, covers a range of mathematical concepts, including arithmetic, algebra, geometry, and data analysis. Here are some examples of tough math questions you may encounter on the GRE:

  1. Advanced algebra: Questions that involve solving complex equations, working with logarithms or exponentials, or manipulating matrices.

  2. Geometry: Questions that involve proving geometric theorems, working with geometric figures, or using trigonometry.

  3. Data Analysis: Questions that involve working with data sets, analyzing graphs and charts, or using statistics to answer questions.

  4. Word problems: Questions that involve reading and interpreting text, and using math to solve problems.

  5. Quantitative Comparison: Questions that involve comparing quantities of a question and determining which one is greater, smaller or equal.

It's important to note that practice is key to improve your math skills and your ability to solve these types of problems. You can use official practice materials and take practice tests to familiarize yourself with the types of questions you will encounter on the GRE and to improve your ability to solve them.

Here are some examples of tough GRE math questions that you may encounter on the exam:

  1. If the perimeter of a square is equal to the circumference of a circle with the same radius, what is the ratio of the area of the square to the area of the circle?

  2. If x and y are positive integers such that x^2 - y^2 = 15, what is the value of x + y?

  3. If a and b are positive integers, what is the value of (a+b)^3?

  4. If 2^x = 64, what is the value of x?

  5. If the equation x^2 - 10x + 24 = 0 has two distinct solutions, what is the value of one of the solutions?

  6. If the graph of y = mx + b is a line with a slope of m = 2 and a y-intercept of b = 3, what is the equation of the line in slope-intercept form?

  7. The price of a stock decreases by 8% in the first month and increases by 8% in the second month. What is the net percentage change in the price of the stock?

  8. If a and b are positive integers, what is the value of a*b^2?

  9. What is the value of (3x+5y)^2?

  10. If a, b, and c are positive integers, what is the value of (a+b+c)^3?

Please note that these are just examples and the actual questions on the GRE can vary. These are meant to give you an idea of the level of difficulty you can expect on the GRE math section.

Where can I apply for a PhD without the IELTS or TOEFL?

By spartan
 There are some universities and programs that do not require IELTS or TOEFL for international students applying for a PhD program. However, it is important to check with the specific university or program as their requirements may vary. Some universities may accept alternative English language proficiency tests such as PTE, CPE, or CAE. Additionally, some universities may waive the requirement for students who have completed a degree from an English-speaking institution or have significant work experience in an English-speaking environment. Here is a list of some universities and programs that may not require IELTS or TOEFL for international students applying for a PhD program: University of Cambridge University of Oxford Imperial College London ETH Zurich Technical University of Munich University of Copenhagen University of Helsinki National University of Singapore Australian National University University of Melbourne Please note that this list is not exhaustive, and the require...

GRE 37-Verbal Question 8-15

By Unknown
Comparative historian Marc Ferro claims that the largest discrepancy in knowledge between what academic historians and what the aver- age citizen knows about history is found in the United States. How has this situation come about? Certainly the problem does not lie with the secondary literature. Whereas in the past. American historians were handicapped by sec- ondary literature that was clearly biased towards a European viewpoint, since the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 60s. the secondary literature in American history has become far more comprehensive. And it cannot be simply a matter of space constraints; the average high school history textbook is well over a thousand pages in length. One theory holds that American history text- books are simply the socializing instruments of a controlling elite. The stratification of American society is preserved. according to this theory. by the creation of what Marx termed “false consciousness." The theory ho...
