GMAT Syllabus for Analytical Writing Assessment

The Analytical Writing Section covers some topics on which the candidate will have to write, or there could be a passage given so students need to answer on the basis of the passage. This GMAT section asks you to analyze issues, understand information, and communicate your ideas through an essay. This section will judge your ability to think critically and how well you organize your thoughts and the use of given evidence to support your viewpoint. The score for this section is usually on a six-point scale. The topics covered can range from general to business news.

GMAT Syllabus for Integrated Reasoning Syllabus

The integrated Reasoning section is known as the new addition to the GMAT Exam syllabus. This section tests the candidates’ ability to assess the data presented in graph or table format. This section has 4 below questions of the following type: 

·Table Analysis:

There is a lot of information which are given in a table format comprising data, like a spreadsheet, and candidates are asked to choose answers from true/false along with multiple statements to answer each question.

Two-Part Analysis:

Under this section, candidates are asked to answer a question and provided with multiple choices. This section checks the candidates’ ability to solve simultaneous equations, evaluate trade-offs, and determines the relationships between two entities are measured.

Multi-Source Reasoning:

Under this, candidates need to gather information from multiple sources and the data may be presented either in tables, charts, etc. so candidates have to analyze each source of data carefully for answering multiple questions.

GMAT Syllabus for Quantitative Reasoning

The Quantitative section of the GMAT has questions that can be grouped into two types:

A. Problem Solving - This part is designed to test your quantitative skills and your ability to solve a problem using various mathematical concepts.

 B.  Data Sufficiency - 
This section is designed to assess your ability to assess the given data systematically.

.Topics are traditionally grouped under:

• Algebra     –    inequalities, equations, absolute value, functions, and exponents.
• Geometry   –   lines and angles, polygons, circles, solids, coordinate geometry.
• Arithmetic –   numbers and their powers and roots, fractions, decimals, percentages, ratio and proportion, sets, counting methods, discrete probability.
• Word problems – rate, time and work, mixtures, simple and compound interest, discounts, profit and loss, geometry problems, measurement problems, and data interpretation.

GMAT Syllabus for Verbal Reasoning Syllabus

This section checks test takers’ ability to read properly and understand the written material, grasp the logical relationship between the points mentioned in the passage and concepts.

• Reading Comprehension: In this section, candidates are given a passage of 300-350 words (approx.) on a particular topic and they have to answer multiple-choice questions based on the main idea, supporting ideas, etc.
• Critical Reasoning: In this section, there will be some critical reasoning questions that candidates need to answer. Questions are given in the form of an argument with multiple choices. Questions judge you on argument construction, argument evaluation, and how you are evaluating a plan of action.
