Hard GRE Quant Made Simple: 5 Patterns That Turn Intimidating Questions into Easy Ones

GRE quant questions are designed to disguise a small set of recurring tricks behind unfamiliar wording, so the same five patterns show up again and again dressed differently. This workshop walks through what those patterns actually look like on the page and how to recognize them fast enough to matter under timed conditions. After two decades of tutoring the test, the patterns worth teaching are the ones students keep missing for the same reason: not a math gap, but a failure to notice which old problem a new one is actually restating. Forty-five minutes is enough to start seeing those patterns, not enough to drill all five until they're automatic, so expect a starting point rather than a finished skill.
