Thirty-seven questions that test mathematical thinking rather than computation — twenty word problems, then seventeen quantitative comparisons.
QR tests mathematical thinking more than computation: estimation, structure, and comparison. RichiePrep sets present word problems followed by quantitative comparisons — about 20 and 17 — 37 questions in all.
Quantitative comparisons
You weigh Column A against Column B under given conditions, with the same four choices every time (A greater, B greater, equal, cannot be determined). The reliable method: subtract or transform the quantities rather than plugging in one number — a single example can prove “greater” only for itself. RichiePrep explanations model this analysis on every comparison item, and mark where a clever test case settles the question faster.
No calculator — but QR rarely wants one. If you are grinding arithmetic, there is usually a structural shortcut you are missing; the explanation will name it.
