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 !!
