Statement Of Purpose

The best part about Quantitative Comparisons is that all the questions in this part have the same set of options as multiple choices. This helps you to understand the options before appearing for the test and thus becomes simpler to select one of the 4 alternatives.

As the name suggests, Quantitative Comparisons involves comparisons between two equations or quantities. This requires basic math skills and quick thinking to relate the two quantities presented in the question. Your main attempt is to simplify the problem and not get into difficult solving methods to create confusion. The questions may also contain geometric shapes and they may not be made accurately as per dimensions. Hence only such criteria that are mentioned in the instructions with the question should be compared.

In case of equations in Quantitative Comparisons you can try replacing the variable with numbers to make a few comparisons and choose the appropriate alternative. Also variables can be any kind of numbers like fractions, decimals, negative or positive. Hence it is necessary to imagine maximum possibilities in such cases. The set of questions in Quantitative Comparisons is allocated 35% of the total marks from the Quantitative Reasoning section and hence can help you score better. Besides, it is easier compared to problem solving. Hence one just needs to solve it quickly and correctly.

The Quantitative Reasoning has 4 standard options, namely A is greater, B is greater, A & B are equal and there is no relationship between A & B, from which the answer is chosen. Knowing these questions before you appear for your actual test can be better. But care needs to be taken while choosing between first and second choices as one tends to get confused at the end moment. Also one should avoid choosing option 4 unless and until you are absolutely confident that it is the correct choice.
