Key ideas in Mastering the Graduate Record Examination
- The GRE does not subtract points for incorrect answers
- A blank answer and a wrong answer result in the same score
- A random guess on five options has a 20% success rate
- Removing two options increases your success rate to 33%
- Area must be a positive number
- Extreme language is rarely correct in nuanced reading passages
- The impact of leaving questions blank on the GRE
- Area is measured in square units, not linear units
- Test makers often include the correct answer and its direct opposite
- Identifying logical clues for elimination in math questions
- Matching context clues to elimination strategies
- Spending too much time on one question hurts your ability to finish
- The tone of the sentence must match the tone of the answer
- A 50/50 guess is a high-value use of time compared to further stalling

- Elimination should happen before you try to pick the winner
