Many MBA programs include scores from the Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT) as an admissions requirement. So how do you prepare for such a rigorous exam? You need to become familiar with the topics covered and the types of questions you'll be faced with. You also need to spend time answering practice questions and analyzing the areas where you may need more study.
The Analytical Writing Assessment on the GMAT is just one question, and it appears at the beginning of your test. You are given the question prompt and then a reading passage of several paragraphs that presents an argument.You are expected to analyze the argument for logical flaws and outline a response. Then you need to write a four- to six-paragraph essay based on your outline in which you agree or disagree with the argument, and analyze the flaws within it.
The Integrated Reasoning section of the GMAT will contain some problems that are based on a graph or other visual image; these are called Graphics Interpretation questions.In a Graphics Interpretation question, you must complete two missing pieces of information in one or two statements by choosing from drop-down menus.
Multi-Source Reasoning questions on the GMAT present several sources of information, such as text material, graphs, diagrams, charts, and tables. You must synthesize the information and draw logical conclusions to answer three questions.Two of the questions are multiple-part questions. For these two questions, you choose one of two opposing answer choices for each of three statements.
The Integrated Reasoning section of the GMAT contains some questions that involve table analysis. These questions present data in sortable tables, and you use this data to choose one of two opposing answer choices for each of three statements. Your answers for each of the multiple parts of an Integrated Reasoning question must all be correct to get credit for the question.
The Two-Part Analysis questions on the GMAT present a short written explanation of a situation or math problem in which two portions of related information are unknown. You are asked to make two choices, one for each of the unknown portions. Your answers for each of the multiple parts of an Integrated Reasoning question must all be correct to get credit for the question.
The Sentence Completion section on the GMAT consists of about 12 questions in the Verbal section. You are presented with a sentence that may contain a grammatical error in the underlined portion.The first answer choice presents the underlined portion as written, while the following answer choices make corrections in some way.
Some Data Sufficiency questions in the Quantitative section of the GMAT will test your mettle with algebra. You should be ready to handle polynomials, linear equations and inequalities, quadratic equations, basic function concepts, and systems of linear equations.Each Data Sufficiency problem poses a question, followed by two statements.
Some of the Data Sufficiency questions in the GMAT Quantitative section will test your basic math skills, so you should brush up on your fractions, decimals, ratios and proportions, percent, and exponents.Each Data Sufficiency problem poses a question, followed by two statements. Your task is to evaluate the statements to determine at what point there is or is not sufficient information to answer the question.
Data Sufficiency questions in the GMAT Quantitative section will include problems involving probability and statistics. Be ready to tackle questions about counting techniques, permutations and combinations, basic probability, arithmetic mean, median, mode, and standard deviation.Each Data Sufficiency problem poses a question, followed by two statements.
Some Problem Solving questions in the Quantitative section of the GMAT will involve algebra. You should be prepared to deal with polynomials, linear equations and inequalities, quadratic equations, basic function concepts, and systems of linear equations. Practice questions Given the function,which of the following expressions is equivalent to What is the maximum value of P = 2x + 5y subject to the constraintsA.
Some of the Problem Solving questions you'll encounter in the Quantitative section of the GMAT will involve basic math skills, where you'll need to work with fractions, decimals, ratios and proportions, percents, and exponents.Problem Solving questions are multiple-choice questions with five answer choice options.
Some Problem Solving questions in the Quantitative section of the GMAT will involve geometry. You should know how to work with angles, lines, two-dimensional shapes, three-dimensional solids, perimeter, area, surface area, volume, the Pythagorean theorem, and coordinate geometry. Practice questions The figure shows a triangle inscribed in a semicircle.
Some Problem Solving questions in the Quantitative section of the GMAT involve probability and statistics. You should have an understanding of counting techniques, permutations and combinations, basic probability, arithmetic mean, median, mode, and standard deviation.Problem Solving questions are multiple-choice questions with five answer choice options.
The Problem Solving questions in the Quantitative section of the GMAT cover a lot of ground, and on top of that, some of them will appear as word problems that you need to parse to find the answer.These word problems may involve percentages, rate-time-distance, consecutive integers, ages, work rate, coins, divisibility, factors, multiples, sequences, and equation setup.
The Critical Reasoning section on the GMAT consists of about 12 questions in the Verbal section. In Critical Reasoning, you are shown a passage that presents an argument of some kind (often dealing with a business, government, or education topic).Some passages have multiple questions. You must choose the answer that best answers the question based on your understanding of the logic in the passage.
Data sufficiency questions on the GMAT will sometimes appear as word problems. These problems can cover a wide range of topics, including percentages, rate-time-distance, consecutive integers, ages, work rate, coins, mixtures, divisibility, factors, sequences, and equation setup.Each data sufficiency problem poses a question, followed by two statements.
The Reading Comprehension portion of the GMAT is about 12 questions (more or less) in the Verbal section. In Reading Comprehension, you are shown a reading passage of one to three paragraphs, along with between two and six questions about each passage. You can refer to the passage while you answer each question about it.
The GMAT Quantitative section consists of a mix of Problem Solving and Data Sufficiency questions (37 in total), which must be completed in 75 minutes. (The specific directions for each type of question will be presented each time they appear.)Problem Solving questions are multiple-choice questions with five answer choice options.
The Verbal section of the GMAT consists of the following subsections: Reading Comprehension, Sentence Completion, and Critical Reasoning. Each subsection has about 12 questions (more or less), and you have 75 minutes to complete the Verbal section. Verbal: Reading Comprehension Read the entire passage. Don't skim.
The GMAT Quantitative section will contain problems that test your geometry skills, and some of these problems may appear as data sufficiency questions. You should be able to tackle lines, angles, two-dimensional shapes, three-dimensional solids, perimeter, area, surface area, volume, the Pythagorean theorem, and coordinate geometry.
