Math content area breakdown

by jragins Fri Apr 22, 2011 7:29 am

What is the breakdown by content area in the quant section? How many word translations : algebra : geometry : number properties : FDP's can we expect? Or can these areas at least be ranked in order of appearing most frequently to least?

Thanks!

Hi,
I'm going to give you a very rough idea of how many of each to expect:

Number properties--about 8
Algebra--about 8
FDPs--6 to 8
Word Translations--about 8
Geometry--4 to 5

Keep in mind that many of these involve elements of the others; for example, algebra is used throughout the section.
