Quantitative Reasoning

  Problem Solving- You’re given a question that has five answer choices. In order to pick your answer choice, you have to solve for a numeric value or algebraic expression.

   Data Sufficiency- The questions have two statements of data, but instead of solving for a numeric value, you pick the answer choice that has enough information to solve the problem.

   Comprising a total of 31 questions to be answered in 62 minutes, the GMAT quant section tests your knowledge and analysis of basic mathematical concepts. The GMAT maths syllabus includes the following topics-
