Quant Practice Tests vs Actual Test

Hey @Dead_aqua_wren, thanks for posting about this. I think we can break it down into two parts:

  1. How can we prepare you more effectively?
    We currently have about 150 different “master question templates” that we use to generate the review quizzes and practice exam sets. We built most of these questions by looking at past GRE questions, identifying the learning objectives, and creating our own versions, so they’re very similar. We’ve also added additional questions of our own that test other common GRE concepts. After combing through so many past exams we’re confident we cover all the techniques and concepts, but sometimes the questions are worded differently and it isn’t immediately clear from the question that it is a concept you’ve already learned. To this end, we’re working on doubling our question templates so you get more variety - we have 60 questions in progress and another 60 planned.

  2. How can you prepare yourself more effectively?
    I took a look at your study history and was happy to see that you’ve read through most of the quant reading material and have overall done pretty well keeping up with reviews. The big gap is in taking the practice sets. I noticed you only took 3 sets - if you take a look at our Study plan you can see that we recommend folks take 30+! Drilling the sets like this is really important since it gives you fluency with the techniques and will make it much easier to apply them when you come across different formats that test the same concepts.

If anyone else from the community has any feedback I’d love to hear it so we can improve the course!
