📐 Quantitative Reasoning Guide

The Quantitative Reasoning section measures your ability to reason mathematically, solve quantitative problems, and interpret graphic data. You'll have 45 minutes for 21 questions.

1. Arithmetic Fundamentals

Master these core concepts that appear in almost every quant section:

Number Properties

Understand integers, fractions, decimals, prime numbers, odd/even rules, and divisibility. Key rules to memorize:

Even ± Even = Even | Odd ± Odd = Even | Even ± Odd = Odd
Even × Any = Even | Odd × Odd = Odd
Prime numbers: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31… (2 is the only even prime)
Divisibility rules: by 3 (digit sum ÷ 3), by 4 (last 2 digits ÷ 4), by 6 (÷ by both 2 and 3)

Example: If n is a positive integer and n² is divisible by 72, what is the smallest value of n? 72 = 8 × 9 = 2³ × 3² For n² to be divisible by 2³ × 3², n must contain at least 2² × 3¹ = 12 Check: 12² = 144. Is 144 ÷ 72 = 2? ✓ Answer: n = 12

Ratios and Proportions

Set up ratios as fractions and cross-multiply. For word problems, assign variables to the actual quantities, not the ratio parts.

Percentages

Remember: "percent of" means multiply. Percent change = (New − Old) / Old × 100. Successive percentages don't simply add—use multipliers.

Strategy Tip: For successive percentage changes, multiply the factors. A 20% increase then 20% decrease = 1.2 × 0.8 = 0.96 (a 4% decrease, NOT back to original).

2. Algebra

Linear Equations & Inequalities

Solve by isolating the variable. Remember: multiplying or dividing an inequality by a negative number flips the sign. For systems of equations, use substitution or elimination.

Quadratics

Know these identities cold: (a+b)² = a² + 2ab + b², (a−b)² = a² − 2ab + b², (a+b)(a−b) = a² − b². Factor, use the quadratic formula, or complete the square.

Word Problems → Equations

Translate carefully: "is" → =, "of" → ×, "more than" → +, "less than" → −. Work-rate problems: combined rate = sum of individual rates.

Example: Machine A fills a tank in 6 hours, Machine B in 4 hours. Together? Rate A = 1/6 per hour, Rate B = 1/4 per hour Combined = 1/6 + 1/4 = 2/12 + 3/12 = 5/12 per hour Time = 12/5 = 2.4 hours = 2 hours 24 minutes

3. Geometry

Focus on triangles (area, Pythagorean theorem, special triangles 30-60-90 and 45-45-90), circles (area, circumference, arc length), and coordinate geometry (distance, midpoint, slope).

Key Formulas: Triangle area = ½bh. Circle area = πr². Cylinder volume = πr²h. The diagonal of a rectangle with sides a,b = √(a²+b²).

4. Strategies for Test Day

Time management: ~2 minutes per question. Don't spend 5+ minutes on any single problem.
Backsolving: Plug answer choices into the problem when solving algebraically seems complex.
Smart numbers: When a problem uses fractions or percentages without specific values, pick convenient numbers (100 for percentages, LCM for fractions).
Estimation: Eliminate clearly wrong answers first, then calculate precisely if needed.

📝 Verbal Reasoning Guide

The Verbal Reasoning section tests your ability to read and comprehend written material, evaluate arguments, and correct written material to conform to standard English. 45 minutes for 23 questions.

1. Reading Comprehension

You'll face passages of 200-350 words followed by 3-4 questions each. Topics include business, social sciences, biological sciences, and physical sciences.

Active Reading Strategy

First read: Identify the main idea, author's purpose, and structure (2-3 minutes).
Map the passage: Note what each paragraph covers mentally—don't memorize details.
Answer questions: Return to specific sections for detail questions. The answer is always in the text.

Question Types

Main Idea: What is the primary purpose? → Look at topic sentences and conclusion.
Detail/Specific: According to the passage… → Locate the exact reference in the text.
Inference: What can be inferred? → Find what must be true based on stated facts.
Tone/Attitude: The author's tone is… → Look at word choices and qualifiers.

Common Trap: Answers that are true but not stated or supported by the passage. Always verify your answer against the actual text, not your outside knowledge.

2. Critical Reasoning

These questions present a short argument and ask you to strengthen, weaken, find assumptions, or draw conclusions.

Argument Structure

Every argument has: Premise(s) (the evidence/facts) → Conclusion (the claim being made). The gap between them is the assumption.

Argument: "Sales of SUVs increased 30% last year. Therefore, the company should invest more in SUV production." Premise: SUV sales up 30% Conclusion: Should invest more in SUV production Assumption: Past sales trends will continue; increased production will be profitable Weaken: Show the trend won't continue (e.g., new fuel regulations) Strengthen: Show evidence the trend will persist (e.g., growing demand forecasts)

Key Question Types

Weaken: Find the answer that makes the conclusion LESS likely to be true.
Strengthen: Find the answer that makes the conclusion MORE likely to be true.
Assumption: Find the unstated premise the argument depends on. Use the "negation test"—negate each answer; the one that destroys the argument is the assumption.
Evaluate: Find what information would help determine if the argument is valid.

3. Language Usage (Sentence Correction)

These test grammar, sentence structure, and effective expression.

Top Grammar Rules

Subject-Verb Agreement: The subject and verb must match in number. Ignore phrases between them.
Parallelism: Items in a list or comparison must have the same grammatical form.
Modifiers: Modifiers must be placed next to what they modify. Dangling modifiers are a common trap.
Pronouns: Must clearly refer to a specific noun and agree in number.
Verb Tense: Stay consistent unless a time shift is indicated.
Idioms: Know common idioms (between X and Y, not only X but also Y, regard as).

Strategy: Read the original sentence for meaning, identify the error, then find the choice that fixes it without introducing new errors. Don't just pick what "sounds right"—know the rules.

4. Verbal Pacing

RC passages: ~3 min reading + ~1.5 min per question
CR questions: ~2 min each
SC questions: ~1.5 min each
If stuck, eliminate 2-3 choices and make an educated guess—move on!

📊 Data Insights Guide

Data Insights is new to the GMAT Focus Edition. It tests your ability to analyze and synthesize data from multiple sources. 45 minutes for 20 questions across five question types.

1. Data Sufficiency

Given a question and two statements, determine whether the data provided is sufficient to answer the question. You are NOT solving the problem—just determining if it's solvable.

The Five Answer Choices (Always the Same)

(A) Statement 1 ALONE is sufficient, but Statement 2 alone is not.
(B) Statement 2 ALONE is sufficient, but Statement 1 alone is not.
(C) BOTH statements TOGETHER are sufficient, but NEITHER alone is.
(D) EACH statement ALONE is sufficient.
(E) Statements 1 and 2 TOGETHER are NOT sufficient.

Critical Rule: Evaluate each statement independently first! Never use information from Statement 1 when evaluating Statement 2 alone, and vice versa. Only combine them for answer choice C.

Question: What is the value of x? (1) x² = 16 (2) x > 0 Statement 1 alone: x = 4 or x = -4 → NOT sufficient (two values) Statement 2 alone: x could be anything positive → NOT sufficient Together: x² = 16 AND x > 0 → x = 4 ✓ → SUFFICIENT Answer: (C)

2. Multi-Source Reasoning

You'll see data from 2-3 sources (text, tables, charts) on tabbed pages. Questions ask you to synthesize information across sources.

Strategy

Spend 2-3 minutes understanding ALL sources before answering.
Note what each source contains and how they relate.
Most questions require information from multiple sources—don't rely on just one.

3. Table Analysis

You'll see a sortable table with data. Questions are Yes/No or True/False statements. You must evaluate each statement based on the data.

Tips

Mentally sort by the relevant column for each statement.
Watch for statements that require comparing across multiple columns.
Pay attention to "at least," "exactly," "at most" qualifiers.

4. Graphics Interpretation

Charts, graphs, and diagrams with fill-in-the-blank dropdown statements. You'll select values or terms to complete statements about the data.

Common Graph Types

Scatter plots with trend lines (correlation)
Bar charts (comparison)
Line graphs (trends over time)
Circle/pie charts (proportions)
Venn diagrams (overlapping sets)

5. Two-Part Analysis

Questions with two components to solve. Answers are in a table format where you select one answer for each part.

Key Insight: The two parts are often interdependent. Solving one part can constrain or reveal the other. Look for the easier part first and use it to narrow options for the harder part.

6. Data Insights Strategies

Don't over-calculate: Many DS questions can be answered conceptually without full computation.
Look for patterns: In table and graphics questions, identify the pattern before checking individual data points.
Process of elimination: In two-part analysis, eliminate options that fail one part to narrow choices for both.
Time allocation: DS and two-part analysis questions tend to take longer—budget ~2.5 min each. Table and graphics may be quicker at ~1.5 min each.
