The GMAT test contains 3 sections: the Verbal Section, the Analytical Writing Section, and the Quantitative Section.

The Quantitative Stuff

The GMAT Quantitative Section is the second section, and it comes right after the Writing Assessment. You will get 75 minutes to answer 37 questions. All questions are multiple choice, with 5 options of which you must choose the most correct answer.

There are 2 types of quesitons that appear in the Quantitative Section: Problem Solving, and Data Sufficiency. You must prepare for both types of questions if you want to succeed on the GMAT. While most people find problem solving straight forward, they may have a harder time solving data sufficiency questions, especially if they are ill-prepared.

Problem Solving

Problem Solving questions are regular mathematical questions, like the ones you’d find in most math books and tests. There are 3 topics covered by GMAT problem solving:

• Arithmetic
• Algebra
• Geometry

These problems may involve either straight-number calculations, or mathematical word problems. To get an idea and some useful practice, make sure to check out the info pages linked above.

Data Sufficiency

Data Sufficiency questions are a bit different than your normal math problems. You will be given a mathematical question, and 2 statements. Your task is to determine whether the statements given provide sufficient data to answer the question.

Data sufficiency questions always come with the same 5 choices for answers:

1. (A) Statement 1 alone is sufficient to answer the question, but statement 2 alone is not sufficient.
2. (B) Statement 2 alone is sufficient to answer the question, but statement 1 alone is not sufficient.
3. (C) Both statements together are needed to answer the question, but neither statement alone is sufficient.
4. (D) Either statement by itself is sufficient to answer the question.
5. (E) Together, both statements are still insufficient to answer the question.

Data sufficiency questions test your ability to understand what facts or figures are required to solve questions and problems. They might be a bit confusing- make sure to check our the Data sufficiency info page for further explanations and examples.

Numbers are Fun

The Quantitative Section is quite an important part of the GMAT. Many international GMAT aspirants tend to do better on this section, which is why it’s even more important to be able to have a high score in order to be a competitive applicant.
