If it is on the GRE, it's not on the general test, it requires semi-advanced partitioning formulas from an early course in discrete mathematics, it belongs in the GRE subject test area.

1) cross multiply: 428x=107y, so x/y=107/428 2) if a=1,b=2,c=4, they're equal, if not then they'ren't equal, so can't be determined 3) 3/r+4/t=3t+4r/rt, so compare that to 3t+4r/r+t, if r or t is less than 1, than the latter is greater, if r and t are both greater than 1, than the former is bigger, can't be determined 4) 15-5 is the distance between 5 and 15, which is 10, if the number is 'x' away from 15, then it is '2x' away from 5, 'x' + '2x'=10, so x=3 and 1/3, 15-3 1/3= 11 2/3. 5) Just draw a mental picture, at the diameter, the longest chord in an circle, consider the distance from the center as 0, the further you move away from the center, the shorter the chords get, this is only true under the assumption of perpendicularity, otherwise, the question makes little sense. so since chord XY is closer, it must be the longer chord.

I think that statistically, philosophy is the major with the highest rate of med school acceptance, but take into account the number of people applying to med school from each major, biology only has an abysmal acceptance rate because everyone applies, one of the things that pissed me off about college, drunk idiots who think that they can get into med school because they're bio majors. Anyway, as long as you are at the top of your program, it should not matter which major you do, a bio major doesn't hurt you.

E is wrong simply because the two things being paralleled are Jackie Robinson and Rosa Parks' courage, which like you wrote is a noun (I'm not sure what you meant, courage is always a noun, the verb form is 'encourage' and the adjectival form is 'courageous'), if a verb were being paralleled instead, such as JR and RP's coping with the physical threats, choice E would have been the correct answer.

Well, I've been killing stress with scotch and fights, sleep like a baby at night. In my opinion 2nd and 3rd best stress relievers in the world. 1st and 2nd best for stress relievers on hand. Just thought I'd throw that out there because this whole grad school thing is bumming me out, makes me feel old. Reply if you want to impede the dying of recalcitrance and all things youthful. If you've accepted that you're old, well, you can still enjoy scotch.

Well, not anymore, when my father took it, it had the logic section, now, that stupid AWA doesn't measure squat.

I am happy with my current GRE score 1530 (Q:800, V:730) and won't retake the exam before I apply to grad school, but I also took the GRE right after I started college, got a 1410 (Q:800 V: 610) and it now seems as though I have to send both my scores when I apply for grad school. I was looking into the top 20 schools in my field, and it seems that the 'good' score for the schools are between my current score and my first score. Just to clarify, I can't choose which GRE score to send right? How badly have I screwed up my chances of grad school with my impetuous take of the GRE?

Well, it doesn't matter if your English and language skills are good in the traditional sense, if you don't have a strong vocabulary you will not do well, so buff up your vocab as much as you can, learn 10 new words each day and use each one at least times during the same day. As for the math, you will run out of material pretty quickly, 20-30 hours will be more than enough to actually learn all the necessary formulas, but to do well, you need to think heuristically, so start solving puzzles, brainteasers, but do not sustain on one puzzle until you are good at it, that's not the point, the point is to stimulate your brain so it can identify a method of solving each problem upon seeing it. In a nutshell, an hour of studying a day should be ample, but making seemingly simple lifestyle changes will help you obtain that score that you want.

Well, what worked for me was cutting my practice run times, take 5 minutes away from each section to start, work up to 15-20 minutes off the actual given time, the test will then seem like a joke. p.s. I also did worse on the actual test (practice run: Q:800 V: 770, actual: Q:800 V:730)

I'm currently a chem major with a minor in mathematics, likely gonna apply to grad school, took the general GRE, gonna take the chem GRE, should I bother with the math GRE? math has been my best subject for all of my schoolyears, by the time I take the math test, I will have finished up to adv. calc II and pretty much everything else but advanced topology, I'm tight on money right now and was wondering if I should bother taking it.

What I did on the Quant, as I do with all my tests, was give myself 25% less time to do the sections then 35% and so on and so forth until I could do a practice run in 33% of the original time, then the actual test becomes a joke. Also, I recommend you take a discrete mathematics class if there is one available, it will help you think heuristically without the jargon of number theory.
