HOMEWORK

Directions: When doing this homework, please keep track of how much time it takes you for each question, and also
which questions you need to guess on. Furthermore, some of these questions will be “problem solving” questions and
some of them will be “quantitative comparison” questions. If you have never encountered a “data sufficiency” question
before, please take a look at our brief tutorial, which is on the lectures page. The answers to the questions are on the last
page, and if you need further explanations for some of them, you can contact us at tutoring@totaltestprep.net to set up a
tutoring session.

technology combined with his teaching style provided the perfect environment for me to learn and

342.11 02. 22. d analytical writing section, I was able to improve my score from the 23rd percentile to the 63rd
percentile. After only four hours of your math courses, my quantitative score moved from the 50th

363.18 02. 24. d I needed to know surely contributed to my quick results. Since I contacted you less than a week

"I hired Total Test Prep for a very specific purpose: To increase my score on the GRE quantitative
section, and TTP helped me raise my score from 570 on my initial practice test to 690 on the live
GRE. ... The 120 point improvement looks even better if you factor in that I mistakenly used a
calculator on the practice test."
