Most align with Algebra I\/II and Geometry; some require clever shortcuts or pattern recognition. Calculators are provided on-screen, but mental math speeds things up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prep Tip: Review high school math fundamentals. Practice with official ETS materials (PowerPrep tests) to master the GRE\u2019s unique phrasing and time pressure (35 minutes\/section, ~20 questions each).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In short: High school math, college-level reasoning.
