There is only one Quantitative Reasoning question type.
GMAT Quantitative Reasoning Section

The Quantitative Reasoning section tests your ability to analyze data and draw conclusions using reasoning skills. You'll have 45 minutes to answer 21 multiple-choice questions that measure your mathematical skills and understanding of fundamental concepts.

This section focuses exclusively on problem-solving questions. We will provide you with practice questions, strategies, and tips to help you tackle quantitative problems and enhance your mathematical reasoning abilities.

The Quantitative Reasoning section assesses several key skills essential for success in business and management.
Key Skills Assessed
  • Arithmetic: Understanding of basic arithmetic operations, number properties, fractions, percentages, and ratios.
  • Algebra: Ability to manipulate equations and inequalities, solve for variables, and work with algebraic expressions.
  • Geometry: Knowledge of basic geometric concepts, including properties of shapes, area, volume, and spatial reasoning.
  • Problem-Solving: Ability to apply mathematical concepts to solve complex problems and interpret quantitative information.
  • Statistics: Basic understanding of statistical measures such as mean, median, mode, and probability.

Mastering these skills will not only help you perform well on the GMAT but also prepare you for quantitative analysis in graduate business programs.

Familiarize yourself with the types of questions you'll encounter in the Quantitative Reasoning section.
Question Types
