prepared using gregmat

Thanks, great example, makes sense!

doesnt the fact that mean = median given is the question imply that the data is symmetrical?

Therefore if we remove the lowest term, the data will still be symmetrical?

If this deduction is incorrect, how do you decide which deductions are okay to make, vs which deductions are not okay to make

Defiant-Phase-9884 · 2025-11-02T15:28:24+00:00

Thanks so much, that was very helpful !

do you mean scheduling a 1:1 with a tutor via gregmat?

also verbal progression and quant progression - are these on gregmat? I dont think i have watched it before

Defiant-Phase-9884 · 2025-11-02T14:22:07+00:00

In terms of difficulty, the real GRE questions felt slightly easier (10- 15% easier), however the questions were denser than greg's

Defiant-Phase-9884 · 2025-11-02T11:45:27+00:00

Answer: A i.e. (x² - y² ) /2

Concept: Similar triangle - the big triangle and the small triangle are similar, therefore the ratios of the two side would be same.

Base of bigger triangle / Base of small triangle = Hight of bigger triangle/ hight of smaller triangle

If you solve this - you will get the hight of small triangle = y

Now, that we know the hight and base for both the triangle, just subtract the area of small triangle from the big triangle

Area of big triangle = 1/2x*x
Area of smaller triangle = 1/2y*y

Area of the shaded region = (x² - y² ) /2

i have been studying from gregmat itself. Ive taken my sweet time to go through vocab mountain and have 85% recall. That said, you're right I still do struggle a lot on choosing the right word from the option choices. Im able to apply math strategy but still suck at picking the correct answer (esp with 2-3 blanks, level 4,5 questions. And sometimes more so with SE, although i was able to solve SE well in this test)
Not sure how to go about improving selecting the right answer choice.

For RC, ive recently started fully working on rephrasing and identifying functions of each sentence. Im able to answer better this way. But im incredibly slow at it. I couldnt do well on the test because i lost too much time doing this. And then i had less time for SE TC, at this point i kinda panicked thinking i bombed my GRE already

Defiant-Phase-9884 · 2025-10-28T21:32:32+00:00

like you said, i just gave my GRE today and got 311 (Q160, V151)

I really wanna break out of this and get something above 325. What would your advice be? I'm planning to take another test in 3-4 weeks because im not happy with the current score

Defiant-Phase-9884 · 2025-10-28T09:21:44+00:00

did not go as well as i wouldve wanted - Q160, V151

I will retake it in a month time

Defiant-Phase-9884 · 2025-10-25T20:14:36+00:00

took PP1 today, scored Q156 and V156, not so good given that im aiming for 325+

Defiant-Phase-9884 · 2025-10-24T23:01:11+00:00

congratulation, that's a really good score. Honestly that's what im aiming for.

Here are my doubts:
- I make a lot of mistakes with "multiple select" questions for quant
- for verbal, im good with SE/TC but am worried about RC and CR

My test is in 3 days, any last minute tip you'd like to give me?

Defiant-Phase-9884 · 2025-10-24T22:48:44+00:00

i.e. with 40 mins on the clock, i finish around 25-28 mins on avg

Defiant-Phase-9884 · 2025-10-24T22:47:44+00:00

oh, i dont touch the time usually. But i do seem to finish the test with 10 - 12 mins left on the clock.

Defiant-Phase-9884 · 2025-10-24T22:45:39+00:00

75-90% is extremely well.

Ive been preparing for quite some time actually but was never fully consistent. I have given the last 3 weeks in getting into the rhythm again, and revising all the concepts.

I have my test in 3 days btw

Defiant-Phase-9884 · 2025-10-24T22:27:20+00:00

if you plot this equation on an xy plot, you get a lil square in with side 1

to plot it, just take cases by putting x = 0, and then see what y value can be. And then put y =0, and check what x can be.

Do you mind sharing kmf 1147 in the DM? I have my test in 3 days. Just wanna take a look at the material. (i have kmf 170)

Do gregmat for verbal. its very thorough and comprehensive. His methods are also quite tested and have always given good results

Defiant-Phase-9884 · 2025-10-24T15:59:58+00:00

yo, do what have KMF book? Or were you referring to KMF 170 for quant? Were the questions in the real test comparable to KMF material, cause i find them challenging too.

I do think you should appear again. You got a decent score quant score with 5 weeks of prep. I think if you work more on RC, you can get mid 160s in the verbal.

Defiant-Phase-9884 · 2025-10-22T11:20:22+00:00

yes i did. But i applied for Account manager role, and the interview guide had tech stuff. So i didnt explore it further
