This looks like a fun site! I just found it through the Purdue OWL website. I'll be taking the GRE again, so this math section will be great! Is anyone familiar with the problems on the GRE? I took it last year and was in the seventh percentile in the quantitative section, but am working with a tutor this year.

This looks like a fun site!  I just found it through the Purdue OWL website.  I'll be taking the GRE again, so this math section will be great!  Is anyone familiar with the problems on the GRE? I took it last year and was in the seventh percentile in the quantitative section, but am working with a tutor this year.

yes, but you are not allowed a calculator.  That is all I recall about the GRE

They actually have an on-screen calculator, which is basic and doesn't do fancy computations.

precal · Answer

seriously how awful, they did not let you use one when I took it

Oh, well there is a whole new "and improved' GRE that is different from the older ones.  The new one is suppose to be more of what graduate students actually experience in school, and, I must say having taken it last year, it does do that.  I wasn't accepted into my program of choice because of the quantitative part; that's why I am taking it again.

sorry to hear that.  I just took it before I graduated.  I was accepted without scores
