GRE Practice Questions — Study Guide
Free, topic-by-topic study notes for the GRE Practice Questions exam. Read a chapter, then practice it.
Quantitative Reasoning: Arithmetic and Algebra
This area covers integers, fractions, percentages, ratios, and solving linear and simple quadratic equations. The GRE rewards flexible, efficient methods over long computation. Building fluency with equation setup and percentage reasoning pays off across the section.
Quantitative Reasoning: Geometry and Data
This area covers area and perimeter, the Pythagorean theorem, angle relationships, and basic statistics such as mean, median, and mode. Formulas are provided infrequently, so memorizing the core ones is worthwhile. Data questions test careful reading as much as calculation.
Text Completion
Text completion asks you to choose the word that best fits a sentence based on internal clues. The correct answer is determined by logic and context, not by which word simply sounds sophisticated. Each item here stands alone and requires no external passage.
Sentence Equivalence
Sentence equivalence tests vocabulary and sentence logic together, asking for the word whose meaning the sentence demands. The practice items here use a single best answer determined by context. Strong vocabulary plus attention to tone is the winning combination.
Vocabulary in Context
These items ask you to determine what a word means as it is used in a specific sentence. Because context guides the answer, a word can shade toward one of its meanings over another. Building a broad vocabulary and reading each sentence carefully are the keys.
