What it measures

The Quantitative Section of the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) measures your ability under two categories: Problem-Solving and Data Sufficiency. Problem-Solving and Data-Sufficiency questions are intermingled throughout the section. Both types of questions require knowledge of:

• arithmetic,
• elementary algebra, and
• commonly known concepts of geometry




Type of questions

Problem solving questions test:

• Basic arithmetic, elementary algebra and basic geometry
• Understanding of basic mathematical ideas and concepts
• The ability to reason mathematically or quantitatively


Data-Sufficiency questions are designed to measure your ability to:

• analyze a quantitative problem,
• recognize which information is relevant, and
• determine at what point there is sufficient information to solve a problem.

Data-Sufficiency questions are accompanied by some initial information and two statements, labeled (1) and (2). You must decide whether the statements given offer enough data to enable you to answer the question.
