"Difficult" 2nd Section

by lab1219 Mon Feb 03, 2014 2:28 pm

Hello!

I've been assiduously studying for the GRE for a few months now. I've finally reached the point where I am doing well enough in the 1st Quant section that I receive the "hardest" 2nd Quant section consistently. But I'm still only getting a few right in the 2nd Quant section. How do I get better at these harder questions beyond just reviewing the test questions? I've done nearly all of the 5 lb problems. I'm currently getting in the 64 percentile range but want to increase this to the 80th percentile range.

Thanks!

Hey Lab,

Make sure your techniques have CHANGED based on what you've read in the books (assuming you've read our books). I believe it is impossible to be able to do every question in that 5lb. book USING THE CORRECT METHODOLOGY (meaning you did it the same way as was recommended in the back) and not get most questions on the real GRE correct.

Good luck!
