GRE Quant Comparison - Best Shortcut?

[@sreejasree7427]

I’m preparing for my gre test And trust me this is the only yt channel I’m referring Thanks for the advanced tips

[@rogerherrera9134]

I never thought of the strategy of just using the number 1 and justifying it because it 1.0001. Great advice!

[@philipschnorbach4099]

Hey Philip, I just took the GMAT this past weekend and I got a 710. I can't tell you how helpful your videos were to me while studying. You explain these concepts even better than the professional study materials. I'm so thankful I stumbled on to your channel. I'll definitely be recommending it to friends. Thank you for doing this!

[@TheTestedTutor]

Thanks Philip, that means a lot. I try to keep the quality really high.

I had studied too much, but I'm still learning very advanced things with you. Thanks.

Yes I am that make up equations person. I used to pick numbers but it caused me so much time and stressed me out. Thanks for the video for clearing out more elusively.

I'm going to give my GRE in 2 days and I just want to thank you for helping me so much! Your statistics videos were absolutely enlightening (All of them are actually haha). Thanks Philip :))

The part I'm struggling to understand is, for the last question, you get it down to (x-1)^2 =? 1. We know that's not possible, right. So how does that not being possible lead to knowing Quantity A is bigger? I understand why it means the Quantities cannot be the same, but how do you figure out which quantity is bigger once you've figured out that equality is not possible?

Hello! Thank you for your videos. I took GRE last weekend and found that the questions were way tougher than what is available in prep materials. I think GRE is getting tougher these days or maybe just the one I took was hard. I got 319 and probably need to retake the test. It would be very grateful if you could make an elaborate video on quantitative comparison covering different patterns and tricks. Harder the better because the real GRE was so tough. Thanks in advance!

[@lawrencecummings870]

Isn't 319 pretty good?

[@thetransferaccount4586]

i did not get this method at all. could you redo this concept?

[@Komal_Vinee]

You always save us with tricks, don’t you✨✨

[@ayenioluwaseun7905]

Thank you for the explanation. What is the answer to the last example you cited?

[@MrMcfire2]

Alternatively we can simply add or substract terms and variables: For example, for question two, the amended quantities would be: Qty A: 6x - 13 Qty B: 0

[@TheDallasDwayne]

Great examples but I think factoring the final question is over complicating it. Won’t a number squared + 1 always be greater than that same number x 2 - 1?

[@themillennialpa]

I don't understand that first example and how it helped us figure out whether qty a or b is bigger

[@divyapant8753]

Awesome video as usual!! I will be taking the GRE in 7 days..can you provide me with some last minute tips..specially in the verbal section..and how about a quant video which sums up all of your tricks and techniques to handle questions?

[@TheTestedTutor]

I will try, I can just make as many videos as possible

[@shritisingh1301]

Brilliant video

[@ndeyemar9524]

Hey Philip, just to clear up my confusion, if both side of quantity A and B equals to each other, then the answer is always D? I only asked because I came across a question that quantity A is a^2b and quantity B is a^3b^2 and the middle was a>b>0. I equal them to each other and got a^-1 = b. I assumed the answer was B when It was D which confused me even more. What did I do wrong by using your trick?

[@sidtripathi7209]

Great video

[@roumanfirdous8707]

sir what if we take w = infinity, that will also make quantity B bigger,, and our answer is D

[@chiranjitdas1696]

What is the ans for the 3rd question? I am sorry but I got confused. In the 1st 2 questions, in which conditions A would be bigger and in which conditions B would be bigger?

[@habibsarker2404]

Hello Phillip, I am watching all of your videos and I must say that you have organized them exceptionally. Please answer my question based on the last question of this video, if I got two solutions like (x-2)(x+3)=? -6; where quantity A is x^2-6 and quantity B is -x-6. For both values of x, I can see that A is greater. Am I correct?

[@prittamkumar909]

I didn't get it. Can anyone explain it a little more clearly please? Actually I didn't get the part where u were saying just above the boundary or taking the same value

[@Aparnna-p9w]

In the last Q, why not simpify --> to: x^2 2x-2 then, check for x=0,1,2 --> I get option D as answer. Why can't option D be an option? Please explain

[@TheTestedTutor]

Working on that right now for you dhamo

[@ishanpathak2526]

Superb

[@salonijaiswal9210]

Just confirming, the first 2 answers result to C or D?

[@salonijaiswal9210]

Please get back asap nor this video wot make sense :(

[@TheTestedTutor]

Answers are both D! Sorry for the confusion.

[@salonijaiswal9210]

But if you use the value you get the same answer for the first 2 questions :/ also thank you so much! I have my paper in a day and all I did today was revise through your videos. :) I mean I had done them already I went through them again they are that powerful!

[@TheTestedTutor]

@@salonijaiswal9210 I think I confused you. When you make it an equation, the x just tells you the value you need to make them equal, not an actual solution. So 9/5 makes them equal but 8/5 would make one less and 10/5 would make it more. Hence the answer D. So glad the videos are being helpful Saloni.

[@themillennialpa]

I don't understand this trick
