Quantitative section- GMAT includes questions related to inequalities, least common factors, greatest common multipliers, common multiples, linear equations, and other mathematical concepts. Practicing these problems many times is the best way to develop the skills needed to do well on this section. In some cases, it is possible to eliminate one or more of the answers based on the information found in the question. If a problem includes the phrase “positive integer,” for example, the student can eliminate any answer choice with a negative number.
Verbal section- The test contains several different types of questions. Becoming familiar with each type will make it easier to avoid common mistakes and eliminate red herrings. Although the GMAT uses basic business terms such as profit and revenue, there is no need to spend time learning hundreds of definitions. The test does not assume any previous knowledge, so study time is better spent learning test-taking strategies. One of the most common questions in the verbal section relates to finding the main idea of a passage. Students should practice reading complex passages (such as newspaper articles) and identifying their purpose to get the most points possible on this section of the exam.
Integrated Reasoning – The Integrated Reasoning section is the newest addition to the GMAT Syllabus. This section tests the candidates’ ability to evaluate the data presented in graph or table format. This section has 12 questions of the following type:
Table Analysis:This section measures candidates’ ability to sort and analyze a table comprising data, like a spreadsheet, to determine the important information or the one that meets certain conditions.
Two-Part Analysis:Measures the candidates’ skills to solve complex problems. The problems can be verbal, quantitative, or a combination of both. The format is versatile and covers a wide range of content. The candidates’ ability to solve simultaneous equations, evaluate trade-offs, and discern relationships between two entities is measured.
Multi-Source Reasoning:It measures candidates’ skills to examine data from multiple sources tables, graphics, text passages, or a combination of all the three and analyze each source of data carefully for answering multiple questions. The candidates will be asked to draw inferences and others may require you to determine whether data is important. In a few questions, candidates will have to recognize discrepancies among different sources of data.
Graphics Interpretation:It measures candidates’ ability to interpret the information presented in a graph or graphical image (scatter plot, x/y graph, bar chart, pie chart, or statistical curve distribution) to find out relationships, and make inferences.
GMAT Analytical Writing Assessment
The Analytical Writing section will have topics on which the candidate will have to write, or a passage may be given on which questions will be asked. On the basis of the passage, the candidate will have to answer. The syllabus for this section is vast and varied as the topic of the passage could be any topic of interest. The main idea is to focus on the structure of the answer and not the arguments presented. Remember, it is not a test of your opinion but your writing style, so it is safer to stick to a neutral opinion.
Argument essay
In this section, you have to analyse the reasoning and then present your argument. Remember, you will be judged on how well reasoned you find a given argument. Also, check whether the argument is logically sound or not and make sure not to make any baseless assumptions. Give importance to syntax and grammar to support or stand against the critique presented in the question.
Issue essay
In this section, you have to write an essay on the issue given to you. The candidate has to give an opinion in around 600 words. The opinion can be supportive of the given statement or candidates can give their own opinion. However, make sure to give your opinion in a properly structured manner as you will be judged on this basis.
