    SOME PROBLEM SOLVING TIPS
     Memorize the form and order of the answer choices. Since they will always be the same, having
    them memorized ahead of time will save you time and stress on the GRE.

     Remember that you can simplify the comparison by doing the same (allowable) operations to both
    columns. You can add or subtract the same numbers or variable from both columns with out
    changing the relationship between them. You can multiply or divide by the same POSITIVE
    quantity on both sides without changing their relationship.

     Read the information centered between the two columns if there is any. This tells what the
    restrictions are on the variables. If you ignore it, you might end up choosing the fourth answer
    choice (not enough info) in error.

     If there is no information centered between the two columns, then there are no restriction on the
    values that a variable can take. In this case, consider what happens if you choose positive versus
    negative values, odd versus even values, and integer versus fractional values. The GRE commonly
    tests your knowledge of properties of these types of numbers.

     If the two columns contain only numbers and no variables, then the correct answer can never be the
    fourth answer choice. If you see a problem like this on the GRE, look for short cuts to calculations.
    Often you can compare the columns to a simpler third quantity, rather than compare them directly to
    each other. People who score high on the GRE math section practice doing these problems with
    tricks and short cuts.

     Remember that the GRE can test your knowledge of algebra, geometry, data interpretation,
    arithmetic, and properties of numbers in these questions.

    Good preparation for the quantitative comparisons, and the math section in general, includes
    brushing up on these topics.
