Thank you for posting such thorough videos! Retaking the GRE 7+yrs after my last math class and I'm feeling a lot more confident with your help.

This was such a helpful video! Please do more of these. Thanks a lot for sharing your nuggets of wisdom.

Thanks a lot man! I mean so many things happened during my at home GRE. Lots of disconnection and then my laptop shut down😞. But I still managed to score a 320. Your videos were a huge huge help!! Especially the ones where you were solving the verbal and quant sections. My approach to the questions got a lot better

Hi Philip, these test solving sessions are really helpful and I wish you do more in the near future because these tutoring sessions are giving us so many tips and shortcuts for the test day which we usually wouldn't get by simply taking a mock test on our own. I have a test coming up in 2 weeks and I am so glad I came across your channel.

For Q7, lines x and y intersect to form a 90 degree angle, what is the slope of one line was Zero (horizontal line)? Wouldn't that then cause the product of the slopes to be Zero?

Hi, Thanks for your very helpful videos. I have a problem with the answer to quant section, question 5. You said there were 6 possibilities of z, but I think there are only 3 (8, 9, or 10). z can not be negative because the question says +8 is ≤ z (so +8 cannot be ≤ -8). S I think the right answer is C. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks

For question 8, although picking numbers is the way to go in a test, I find the proof intersting. For both quantities A and B, the difference between the numerator and denominator will be the same (lets call it z). Since a > b, a/b can be written as 1+ z/b, likewise quantity B can be written as 1 + z/(b+k). Now by comparing both quantities it is clear that A is bigger than B since z/b will always be bigger than z/(b+k), given that all variables are posotive.

⁠@@anthonyprotopapa6278For 0.3, 0.2 and 0.1, Quantity A is still bigger than B. A = 0.3/0.2 = 1.5 while B = 0.4/0.3 = 1.33. Let me explain it differently, since a is greater than b, we can write a as (b +z), z being the difference between a and b. Now, Quantity A can be written as (b+z)/b or (1 + z/b). Quantity B can be written as (b+z+k)/(b+k) or (b+k)/(b+k) + z/(b+k) which is 1 + z/(b+k). Now compare both quantities: (1+z/b) vs (1+z/(b+k)). Remove 1 from both you are left with z/b vs z/(b+k). Since all numbers are positive and the numerator is equal in both quantities, the value with smaller denominator will always be greater i.e. z/b > z/(b+k). I hope it made sense 😅 although in a test you are better of plugging in numbers and examine carefully.

For Q3, why do you need any formula, as you said, 300/9=33.33, hence there are 33 multiples of 9 b/w 1 and 300, before 10, there's only 1 multiple of 9, just subtract 1 from the max number of multiples =32. It's so much easier and conceptual if you do this. But then again, to each his own.

For question 7 I understand that the slope x times slope of y gives you -1 due to them being reciprocals of one another. However, what about if the slope of x is horizontal and the slope of y is vertical? Is this case not considered because the vertical slope is undefined? Or is the product of them zero? Thanks
