Why Is This Section Important? 
Graduate programs use your performance on the Quantitative Reasoning section to evaluate your ability to solve

---

quantitative problems, interpret data, and apply mathematical principles to a wide range of commonplace situations. 
Depending on the program to which you are applying, your Quantitative Reasoning scores may be of less concern. 
Nonetheless, you should try to do your best as your Quantitative Reasoning scores factor into your overall exam score. 
In this chapter, we will discuss the format of each question type and provide you with specific strategies for successfully
answering the GRE quantitative questions. The Math Primer in the following chapter provides a comprehensive overview
of the topics tested in the Quantitative Reasoning section and will help you address gaps in your mathematics knowledge. 
Scoring and Computer-Adaptive Testing 
The section is scored on a scale of 130−170, in one-
point increments. A 170 is the highest possible score. The score
reflects your combined Quantitative Reasoning performance; you will not receive a separate score for each verbal section. 
When taking the computer exam, you are able to answer questions in each section in any order you wish. You can skip
questions or use the built-
in system tools to mark a question for review and come back to it later as time permits. As
we discussed in the section on computer-
adaptive testing, the difficulty of your second section of Quantitative Reasoning
is determined by your performance on your first section.
Question Types
Your exam will consist of two scored Quantitative Reasoning sections that consist of three question types. Each question
type typically appears at the same frequency across exams. The list below details the question types and the approximate
number of questions you are likely to encounter on each of the two Quantitative Reasoning sections.
