Match each statement with the correct term.
Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

1. Quant Problems Timing strategy
5 problems --> 65 minutes remaining - 10 problems --> 55 minutes remaining - 20 problems --> 35 minutes remaining - 30 problems --> 15 minutes remaining - 34 problems --> 7 minutes remaining - Skip between questions 3 and 8.
Redundant - should just be whether
What are they really asking? What are they really telling me? Focus on the minimum?

2. Sentence Correction Steps
To
Go straight for fractions
(1) Stop Signs: 3rd person pronouns (2) Splits (3) Look for parallelism (4) Everything else
Many geometry problems come complete with a diagram drawn to scale. Most people get so caught up in solving a geometry problem geometrically that they forget to look at the diagram to see whether the answer is reasonable. Simply using approximations
3. :
Anything to the left of the colon should be a full sentence or fine on its own
When the Yes/No question has to do with whether a variable is a fraction or integer: Fraction - Integer and Zero
