The Graduate Management Admission
Test® (GMAT®) is a standardized
assessment. Each individual test that is administered
contains the same format and areas of content. The
test is comprised of three main sections-analytical
writing, quantitative reasoning, and verbal reasoning.
Each of these areas is measured using different
types of questions that have specific instructions
for each.
Questions are chosen from a very large
pool of test questions categorized by content and
difficulty. Only one question at a time is presented
to you on the screen. The first question is always
of middle difficulty. The selection of each question
thereafter is determined by your responses to all
previous questions. In other words, the adaptive
test adjusts to your ability level-you will get
few questions that are too easy or too difficult
for you.
You must answer each question and may not return
to or change your answer to any previous question.
If you answer a question incorrectly by mistake-or
correctly by lucky guess-you answer to subsequent
questions will lead you back to questions that are
at the appropriate level of difficulty for you.
Analytical Writing Assessment
The GMAT with the Analytical Writing Assessment,
consists of two essays topics selected by the computer.
30 min are allowed to respond to each topic. One
task is to analyse an issue; the other is to analyse
an argument.
Quantitative
This section tests elementary mathematical
skills. This section contains 37 multiple-choice
questions of either two question types, Data Sufficiency
or Problem Solving. You are allowed a maximum
of 75 minutes to complete the section.
Verbal
This section contains 41 multiple-choice
questions on Reading Comprehension, Critical Reasoning,
and Sentence Correction. The duration is 75 min.

Your GMAT score can significantly affect your
chances of admission. Without a good score, you
have little or no chance of making it to a top
school. You need to practice on the computer for
the writing section of the GMAT – in which
you have to type two essays on the computer in
60 minutes. If you are not used to regularly working
on the computer, you might find yourself woefully
short of words on the day of the test.
The GMAT requires you to have strong fundamentals
in Math (High School) and English grammar.
Note: Probability questions are becoming common
on the GMAT. Most test guides are obsolete and
do not address these questions.DON'T guess randomly.
Always try to eliminate as many answer choices
as possible before you confirm your response.
For Maths section be Cool with Questions are easy
so don't be too quick. You won't get extra score
if you finish early!
DO use your pencil and scratch paper (both will
be provided at the test center).
TIPS on Probability
For Independent Events Probability of
A and B P(A and B) = P(A) × P(B).
In other words, the probability of A and B both
occurring is the product of the probability of
A and the probability of B. Probability of A or
B P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B). In other words, the
probability of A or B occurring is the sum of
the probability of A and the probability of B.
For Dependent Events
If A and B are not independent, then
the probability of A and B is
P(A and B) = P(A) × P(B|A) where P(B|A)
is the conditional probability of B given A.
# There are m different ways of doing the first
part, and there are n different ways of doing
the second part. The problem is to find the number
of ways of doing the entire job.
answer is:m*n
DO AS MANY PRACTICE QUESTIONS & TESTS AS POSSIBLE.
THE MORE YOU PRACTICE, THE BETTER YOU WILL SCORE

Be Cool! Its very important for quantitative section.
Prepare well on Mode ,Median, Probability, Permutations,
Combinations. You may be getting around 4 questions
on above topics.
We are listing some TIPS.
· 0 is not prime number.
· 1 is not prime number.
· 2 is prime number.
· probability =(Result you are looking)/(Total
results).
· n!(n factorial)=n*(n-1)*(n-2)*...1
· Permutations is arrangement of things
in definite order. While in Combination order
doesn't matter. Median is the middle value in
a set of numbers above and below it.
Example 1 : Consider G={2,4,7,8,9,12,14}
In this case 8 is median because there lies three
other numbers before and after 8.
Example 2 : Consider G={2,4,7,8,9,12}
In this case median will be average of 7 and 8
i.e. 7.5
Mode is the number or range of numbers in a set
that occurs the most frequently.
Example Consider G={1,2,4,8,17,2,4,5,6,7,8,2}
In the above set 2 occurs thrice so this is mode.
Range is defined as difference between maximum
and minimum numbers in a set.
For above set Range is 17-1 i.e. 16.
Standard Deviation of a set is measure of the
set's variation from its mean.
Example Consider two sets G1={3,4,3,4} and G2={10,15,14,16}
Then It can be seen G1 has lower S.D. as compared
to G2.
...Practice well!
Good Luck !! |
