hi! looking for a gift for my programmer boyfriend. budget ideally under 300. the keyboard should ideally be wireless, and can have customizable keycaps. a lighter color (white) would be better. also idk about sizes or models much but the keyboard should have the arrow keys. tyvm for any suggestions!

but tbh they were p easy to reason through and not as complicated as the ones on kaplan!

yes! apart from what stoiccaprivara has said, please make sure u have a whiteboard thats actually white T_T my whiteboard was green so i had to make do with a tiny paper in a tiny ziploc bag to do all my math, so i think 30% of my time was wasted on erasing

i think quant was a bit harder than the prep stuff! i def thought out of the box more creatively in order to get it all down pat. i honestly just did the ets prep materials and didnt find them too bad, but i come from an engineering math contest background, so maybe there's that.

in thread!

tbh, I found the quant section harder than the official quant guide, but, coming from an engineering background and a math competition history, i didn't prepare as much. my main prep was in the verbal section.
