GRE Quantitative Reasoning Question Types

GRE Quantitative Reasoning questions are split into four categories:

Quantitative Comparison (~35% of questions)

  • Compare two quantities (Quantity A and Quantity B) and determine which is greater, whether they're equal, or whether the relationship cannot be determined.

  • These questions test your ability to reason about mathematical relationships without always needing to compute exact values.

Multiple Choice — Select One (~35% of questions)

  • Standard math problems with five answer choices. Select the single best answer.

  • Topics span arithmetic, algebra, geometry, and data analysis.

Multiple Choice — Select One or More (~10% of questions)

  • Select all correct answers from a set of choices. You must select every correct answer and no incorrect answers to receive credit.

Numeric Entry (~20% of questions)

  • Enter your answer as an integer, decimal, or fraction. No answer choices are provided — you must compute the answer yourself.

Effective Practice Strategies

1. Master Estimation

Many Quantitative Comparison questions can be solved faster through estimation rather than precise calculation. Practice recognizing when exact computation isn't necessary.

Study Tip: For Quantitative Comparison, try plugging in numbers (including negatives, fractions, and zero) to test the relationship. If different values produce different results, the answer is "cannot be determined."

2. Know Your Formulas

The GRE doesn't provide a formula sheet. Memorize key formulas for area, perimeter, volume, probability, statistics, and common algebraic identities.

3. Use the On-Screen Calculator Wisely

The GRE provides a basic on-screen calculator. Use it for arithmetic but don't rely on it — many problems are faster to solve mentally or with estimation.

4. Practice Data Interpretation

Data interpretation questions present tables, graphs, or charts. Practice reading data quickly and accurately, and watch out for units and scales.

GRE Quantitative Reasoning Scoring

The Quantitative Reasoning section is scored on a scale of 130-170 in 1-point increments. Like Verbal, the section is adaptive at the section level — your performance on the first Quant section determines the difficulty of the second.

No Guessing Penalty: There's no penalty for wrong answers on the GRE. Always select or enter an answer for every question, even if you need to guess.
