LV Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 8 x 10^3 + (850/100) x 8 x 10 ^ 3 8 x 10 ^ 3 + 8.5 x 8 x 10 ^ 3 8 x 10 ^ 3 + 68 x 10 ^ 3 (68+8) x 10 ^ 3 so, 7.6 x 10 ^ 4 ........ Just a suggestion to all those taking GRE, I gave GRE on Dec 4th and the questions that I got on the test were 3 times more difficult then those on PowerPrep so do good prep for Quant.

rumen Posted December 6, 2003 Share Posted December 6, 2003 Hallo LV, can you give some more hints about the level of difficulty? for example, are there probability questions, geometry and so on..Thanks!!!!!!:):D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LV Posted December 7, 2003 Share Posted December 7, 2003 Rumen, you will do good...dont worry...I went through a lot of old posts and found that you are diligently solving problems :) ... I can post some of the questions if this forum allows .... ETS asks you not to reproduce the questions though :) I think all the topics were covered I got emm from Probability and Geometry, Work rates etc .....but most of emm seemed to take much more time then the one I did on the PowerPrep.....
