Hi Ali. Firstly, that really is a very comprehensive and useful 'How To' for the GRE.

Good work!

I just have a couple of questions about the quantitative section that I'd be obliged if u'd answer. (I did post these before but received no reply).

My maths is very weak and so I’m very worried about the GRE quantitative section. I read in a GRE prep book the test gives you questions mostly from grade 8 or 9 or so level. (I think it was the Princeton Review). Is that true?

Besides the GRE prep books, would O-Level and A-Level maths books be useful? If so, then for which sections? I know a lot of the A-Level maths is irrelevant for GRE such as calculas. But the the problem is which bits are relevant? So do they test O-Level type maths or A-Level maths on the more difficult questions? (hence making the questions 'difficult'?)

It'd really help me a lot if you shed light on the above! [8)]
