What kinds of questions usually appear on the GMAT?
The GMAT is made up of three sections: verbal, quantitative, and analytical writing. The verbal section includes 41 multiple-choice questions consisting of reading comprehension, critical reasoning, and sentence correction. The quantitative section, designed to measure mathematical and quantitative reasoning, contains 37 multiple-choice questions consisting of data sufficiency and problem solving. The data sufficiency, critical reasoning, and sentence correction categories will be new to most test takers and should be given careful attention when preparing for the test. The Analytical Writing Assessment (AWA) requires responses to two questions and is scored separately from the multiple-choice items.
