The Basics of Gmat Math

If you are a serious aspirant of GMAT, you have to develop a strong grip on English and Math. A serious aspirant will always opt for a GMAT mock test before starting his/ her preparation. This will help a person to judge the situation and assess how he/ she needs to plan out the preparation accordingly. It has been found that students receive less that required training while developing their mathematical abilities. The math section, which is the quantitative section, comprise of questions related to graphical problems, data comparison, grid-ins, data sufficiency and problem solving. You may categorize the math portion broadly in 3 different section; geometry, algebra, and arithmetic.

Geometry section: The paper setters always stress on the questions on geometry. Usually questions in this section are set from circles, rectangles, angles & triangles, solid geometry co-ordinate and squares. You may also find critical questions that will demand extensive knowledge and practicing skills, the easy ones are aptitude based. Nearly 20% of the math questions are from the geometry section.

Arithmetic section: Usually, the standardized tests stress on arithmetic concepts such as average, percent, ratio and numbers. The arithmetic section offer 50% over the quantitative section. There are nearly 55% of the total number of questions in the GMAT test are arithmetic problems.

Algebra section: Algebra section in the test is not as important as the others. In the algebra section the questions are set on advance algebra with inequalities, solving simple equations and quadratic equations and binomial theorem. Nearly 15% to 25% of the math sections are set from algebra. However, it cannot be completely ignored either. A serious aspirant will practise all the types seriously.

Miscellaneous Problems: You will also find some odd questions in the paper. These questions usually involve more than one concept. Such questions will require your common sense apart from your knowledge skills. It is not at all surprising for you to find a geometrical problem that can be resolved into an algebraic expression. This category is called Word Problems. You can do well in this section, by following a two fold technique.

· By developing a grip on the basics of geometry, arithmetic and algebra.

· Using your common sense in the appropriate manner to solve the equations correctly.

While you are preparing for GMAT math, certainly learn the format of the math portion and practice accordingly. Frequent tutorial classes and GMAT mock tests will help you to acquire a better grip on math.
