## GRE quant practice, one skill at a time

Practise Quantitative Comparison, arithmetic, algebra and geometry with original questions and worked explanations. Start with a skill you already know, then review what slowed you down.

**Choose GRE Practice for GRE formats.** The shared daily challenge has the same topic rotation for every track. GRE Practice offers its own filtered topic list, including Quantitative Comparison; it does not include GMAT Data Sufficiency. QD drill timers are practice limits, not official exam pacing.

### Where would you like to start?

#### Quantitative Comparison

Compare two quantities using only the stated conditions. Test an allowed fraction or a boundary value before assuming the relationship is fixed.

#### Algebra and number properties

Review signs, integer constraints and equations before timing yourself.

#### Percentages and ratios

Identify the base quantity and translate the words before calculating.

#### Geometry and data

Use the given measurements and distinguish an exact result from an estimate.

### Worked example: does squaring make a positive number larger?

**Original practice example.** Given x > 0, compare Quantity A: x² with Quantity B: x.

- At x = 2, Quantity A is greater: 4 > 2.
- At x = ½, Quantity B is greater: ¼ < ½.
- At x = 1, the quantities are equal.

**Answer: D — the relationship cannot be determined.** Both an integer and a fraction satisfy the condition, yet give different relationships. Two different permitted relationships already establish D; one example cannot establish a universal comparison.

Only test values the question allows. A few matching examples do not prove a relationship always holds; use the constraints or algebra to justify A, B or C.

### A ten-minute practice slot alongside your course

- **Two minutes:** revisit one error from your last session and name the mistake.
- **Five minutes:** attempt a small timed set on that topic, within your available practice allowance.
- **Three minutes:** work through the explanation and write down why the tempting wrong answer fails.

This is a suggested routine, not a score-improvement claim. If the concept itself is unfamiliar, study an untimed explanation first. For a longer schedule, see the [GRE study plan](https://quantdaily.app/gre-study-plan).

### What is free, and where does Pro fit?

The shared daily challenge is free and needs no account. Extra topic practice has a daily allowance; the app shows your remaining practice before you start. Optional sign-in keeps your progress across devices. [Quant Daily Pro](https://quantdaily.app/pro) adds unlimited topic practice. Check the current allowance and prices in the app before choosing a plan.

Quant Daily is independent supplementary practice. It does not provide a complete exam course, an official mock test, Verbal preparation or a score guarantee. Keep your course or official preparation materials for learning the syllabus, and use these drills to practise a specific skill.
