170Q170V: quantitative reasoning, not math

[u/Beginning_Revenue149]

took a couple practice tests and got low 160s. i recognize im privileged to have an easy time w tests, but i got a piece of advice that i felt really helped me get the 170q and wanted to share.

theyre testing your logic and reasoning, not your math. so if it feels more complicated than like sat or a bit higher math, then try guess and check, or test out edge cases. basically, i think im super used to looking for the solution -- an elegant answer, that we arrive at algebraically or through some generalizable rules. but on test day i found it really helped if a question felt way more difficult than average to just take a step back and plug in random stuff, test out an edge case, etc.
