MATH Section - QUANTITATIVE COMPARISONS

1. Don't ever guess at Choice E. There are only four choices!

2. Always consider values that are fractional (between 0 and 1), zero, negative, or non-integer.

3. Factor out, then cancel, any common expressions or quantities in both Columns A and B. Remember that you are just trying to make relative comparisons.

4. Questions are simpler and should take less time than the Standard Multiple Choice. Look closely. The answer is often apparent without any calculations.

5. Write on any diagrams to help clarify any values, angles, sides, etc.

6. Compare; don't solve!

7. Simplify one or both sides whenever possible before comparing.
