Geometry able to spot the answer quite easily. However, it's not always easy to come up with a good
Data Analysis enough relationship. Regardless, there are a few relationship types that are seen often on
Math Question Types the analogy questions of the GRE exam. Although you shouldn't memorize this list, yo
should notice that it is not that extensive and that most of the relationships are quite
simple.
