You can get ready yourself for the GRE math section by carrying out wide review of the content tested by the GRE math section in addition to systematic practice and exploitation of strategies and tactics for solving the problems.
You will find several websites and study books that suggest you a variety of sample questions aimed at providing you practice in solving problems specific to the GRE math section. Free GRE Math Practice Test contains a number of free sample questions as well as a wide variety of prep material.
The more practice problems you solve, the more comfortable you will be at the time of taking the actual test. A accurate GRE preparation plan with due stress on satisfactory practice will make sure that you are able to score high in the GRE math section.
Here given one example for math test.
1. The area of the space bounded by the x and y axes and between the lines described by the equations y = -2x + 10 and y = -2x + 2, in square units, is
A 1
B 4
C 10
D 24
E 25
While substituting any variables remember these things that the very best numbers to use first are 1, 0, and -1. Often, fractions between 0 and 1 are useful. Occasionally, large numbers such as 10 or 100 can be used. If there is more than one letter, it is permissible to replace each with the same number. And remember one more thing do not impose any conditions not specifically started. In particular, do not assume that variables must be integers.
You can practice such questions on GRE Quantitative Reasoning. For above question here will see explanation.
These two equations are in slope-intercept form; note that the lines have the same slope (they are parallel) with different intercepts. Make a quick sketch for yourself on your scratch paper — place the two y-intercept points (0,2) and (0,10) and the two x-intercept points (5,0) and (1,0) found by making y=0. Connect the points; you should have two parallel lines that slope from the upper left down to the lower right. Each line forms a triangle with the x and y axes.
The area between the lines is the area of the larger triangle minus the area of the smaller triangle. The formula for the area of a triangle is ½(bh). For the larger triangle, this is ½(5)(10) = 25; for the smaller, ½ (1)(2) = 1. Subtracting gives an area of 24.
