1. Effective Practice Strategies

   According to the described preparation method, which of the following techniques is recommended to best track and analyze your mistakes during GRE Quant preparation?

   1. A. Maintaining an Error Log and reviewing it periodically
   2. B. Only focusing on practice tests without recording errors
   3. C. Solving more problems from the same topics repeatedly
   4. D. Prioritizing theory over practice for all topics
   5. E. Memorizing answers to frequently missed questions

2. Time Management on Practice Sets

   What is the suggested time allocation for solving 20 GRE Quant problems during practice to most closely simulate the exam’s challenge, as per the context provided?

   1. A. 20 problems in 25 minutes
   2. B. 20 problems in 30 minutes
   3. C. 20 problems in 40 minutes
   4. D. 20 problems in 60 minutes
   5. E. 20 problems in 50 minutes

3. Understanding Learning Curves

   When tracking your progress using a spreadsheet, what adjustment is suggested if your learning curve fluctuates significantly (by 7–10 points) between practice sessions?

   1. A. Immediately take a break from all preparation
   2. B. Focus on the Error Log to diagnose recurring mistakes
   3. C. Increase the number of problems solved per session
   4. D. Reduce time spent on each question
   5. E. Attempt only new problems and ignore past errors

4. Mixing Problem Sets

   Why is it recommended to mix questions from various GRE Quant topics during practice, rather than focusing on one topic at a time?

   1. A. It increases the likelihood of repeating mistakes
   2. B. It better mimics the random order of questions on the actual exam
   3. C. It ensures that only weak topics are reinforced
   4. D. It shortens total practice time required
   5. E. It allows for memorization of topic-specific tricks

5. Optimal Use of Theory

   If your practice results are stagnating or declining, what is the optimal next step according to the preparation strategy discussed?

   1. A. Immediately attempt harder problems only
   2. B. Pause practice and revisit theoretical concepts before resuming
   3. C. Focus basic memorization of problem types
   4. D. Increase the volume of random questions per session
   5. E. Skip theory entirely and practice exclusively from screen
