What is the scope of the new GRE math test?
From the knowledge point of view, the new GRE mathematics mainly tests: arithmetic, algebra, geometry, probability, statistics, permutation and combination, normal distribution and so on.

These knowledge points are mainly aimed at domestic primary schools, junior high schools and senior high schools. There is also a special topic to examine the reading ability of data charts.

GRE failed: trigonometric function, calculus, sphere in solid geometry, cone and conic curve in plane geometry.

However, in the past year, especially since the summer vacation of 20 18, everyone's feedback on mathematics has become more and more difficult and difficult. Many Chinese and American students majoring in mathematics have scores around 162, like Waterloo. Two or three years ago, there was a saying that "170 won't be from China without taking the GRE math test", but now, 170 is really difficult to take the GRE math test.

What is the reason?

The following quotes, students' original words, see how you say math.

The GRE math test for domestic mathematics majors is a bit difficult, a bit like a brain teaser. If your thinking is not flexible enough, or you haven't practiced similar routines before, it's easy to get stuck there and waste the time of doing the problems later. (This part is also because I am not decisive enough. I always want to do it at once, which delays the following questions. ). Another part is that the real trap depends on whether you read the question carefully.

American math major Z: I failed the last exam again, which was embarrassing. I feel particularly depressed when I study mathematics in the United States. The math I studied in college has nothing to do with the exam. I'm going to cry after taking the math test three times.

X: It really feels like a brain teaser. I can't finish math every time. Sometimes it's complicated, and then it takes time. I feel that the math part of ets is getting more and more tricky. It's totally different from the math I usually study. Embarrassed, I feel that I have learned a fake math.

H: I don't think math problems are difficult, but every problem is a little tangled with you, which is very troublesome. He is a little different from China in the math exam. Sometimes the calculation is very long, and sometimes the number is very large. The examination method is very flexible, and many questions have some concise methods, but I can easily think of complexity. His examination method is very clever. I don't think he's putting obstacles in your way at all. He just used some tricks to kill your time.

Finally, GRE is not English, it is not an assessment of language ability, it is a default postgraduate entrance examination based on your good English ability. You can understand that the postgraduate exam in China is only in English.
