Miss Math Team?

While goofing around on my computer yesterday, I found a website with 25 free practice GRE tests. I thought, why not, let's see what kind of questions it asks. I'll need to take it in less than a year anyway, so I may as well get acclimated with the types of questions that will be asked.

There is an option to jump from subject-to-subject, so I decided to jump right to the math problem solving section. That is the easiest for me, so I thought I would try that one first.

First question: If you join all the vertices of a heptagon how many quadrilaterals will you create?

A. 72
B. 36
C. 25
D. 35
E. 120

Well, I know there is a formula to solve this one, but I can't remember the formula. Let's skip this one and move to the next. That was just an unlucky start. Let's jump to question two.

Four girls have to be chosen, 2 girls as the captain and vice-captain and 2 boys as captain and vice-captain of the school. There are 15 eligible girls and 12 eligible boys. In how many ways can they be chosen if Sunita is sure to be captain?

A. 114
B. 1020
C. 360
D. 1848
E. 1500

Uh........Is Sunita a girl?

I cannot remember how to go about this. This is not good. My six years of math team, enrolling in the most advanced courses my high school offered, and my business calculations class in college really show, don't they? Ha.

Needless to say, I will actually have to study math for the first time in my life. That will be interesting. I may just pull out all the old formulas for questions like these so I don't have to spend several minutes on each question.

With how well this math section went, I don't even want to think about the reading comprehension section. Oh boy, this will be like taking the ACT all over again, with a dash of psychology mixed in. What am I getting myself in to?
