Recently, students have found the GRE math section increasingly difficult, and problem-solving speed has gradually become a major obstacle to achieving a high score.
In fact, the GRE math section covers a lot of content. When preparing for the exam, you must solidify the foundation of each knowledge point and strive for comprehensive review. Many students feel that their math foundation is good enough, so they casually skim through the math review, only to realize they lost crucial points when the scores come out.
Here, we want to remind everyone that the math section must not become a black hole for losing points. Familiarity with math concepts and exam points is a must-review part for every test taker before the exam, and it is key to determining whether you can achieve a high math score.
The GRE math exam heavily tests students' mathematical ability, while familiarity with terminology and knowledge points is also crucial for solving problems. In the exam hall, you need to handle both, making the overall math section time somewhat tight.
Therefore, many students always score low on GRE math not because of insufficient math ability, but because they haven't grasped the rhythm of problem-solving. Improving problem-solving speed is closely related to familiarity with the exam points.
Today, let's summarize the high-frequency concepts and formulas tested in the GRE exam, and help students who are practicing and reviewing sort out all aspects of math knowledge points.
Being familiar with knowledge points first means being familiar with the application of formulas, such as the area formulas of geometric shapes, the relationship between roots and coefficients in equations, factoring formulas, etc.
Here, we have also compiled a complete collection of GRE math formulas for you. Let's learn together! Students who need the full PDF version can contact a teacher to get it!

The significance of being familiar with formulas is that when reading the questions, students should convert the meaning of the question into concepts and formulas in their minds, which can speed up the problem-solving process instead of slowly translating the question in their heads before solving, thus slowing down the answering speed.
When reviewing, be sure to comprehensively cover the concepts explicitly mentioned in the OG. The most common concepts in the GRE exam are arithmetic, algebra, geometry, and data analysis.
Under each major knowledge category, there are several core sub-concepts. In the initial review stage, you need to systematically go through the Math Review booklet to identify and fill any gaps. This will allow you to flexibly tackle various exam points.
Therefore, we hope that all students can use the above compiled knowledge points for systematic GRE math review, and you will surely achieve a high score. For other GRE prep materials, you can also contact a teacher to get them~
