GRE Math - Quantitative Comparisons :-

Quantitative comparison in GRE Math measures your ability to:

• Determine the relative sizes of two quantities
• Perceive that not enough information is provided to make such a decision

GRE Math - Quantitative comparison Strategies :-

• Convert algebraic expressions to a standard form in order to compare them.
• Avoid performing needless calculations, such as trying to decide how much larger or smaller one quantity is than the other.
• Don't assume that all variables represent positive integers - be aware of negative numbers, fractions, and zero as possible numbers.
• Geometric figures aren't always drawn to scale, so don't make assumptions simply based on the appearance of a figure shown.
