GRE Quant Smartcuts: Mental Math Shortcuts That Beat the Clock - Quantitative Comparison Tactics, a 4-Week Plan and 50 Practice Problems With Worked Solutions

21 problems in 26 minutes, twice. The GRE gives you an on-screen calculator and then punishes you for reaching for it. Every click costs you four seconds you needed for reading the question properly. This book gets you off the calculator. Start with the 6-Minute Benchmark on page one: twelve problems, no calculator, stopwatch running. Write the number down. On Day 28 you sit the same twelve again, and the difference between the two numbers is what this book was worth to you. Inside: - Eight chapters of mental-math shortcuts mapped to GRE Quant question types- A dedicated Quantitative Comparison section - the highest-yield, most under-taught part of the test, where speed converts straight into score- A 28-day speed log, and one "party trick" per chapter to keep you drilling- 50 original GRE-style practice problems with worked solutions, a standard textbook method for comparison, and a time target on every one- A 4-week plan, cheat sheets, 50 common traps, score targets by program, and a Day 28 retest with a certificateEvery problem in this book is original. Nothing here reproduces a real GRE question or is drawn from any official ETS publication. Use this book for speed and the official guides for question feel. Written for grad-school applicants who know the material cold and keep losing points to the timer.
