GMAT test may your biggest hurdle between you and your admission to an MBA course at an elite business school. If you have not taken GMAT test before, you might want to look at a sample GMAT paper. Many Free sample exam are available online from GMAT prep review courses. Click on the sample video link on top menu on this page. When the new free sample GMAT page appears, simply click on the button that says Model test. A document (pdf format) with questions in format & style similar to actual GMAT test appears. This GMAT math sample test will clearly indicate that exam questions concern arithemetic, algebra, geometry, and word problems. There are two types of questions: problem solving and data sufficiency. About one-third of all questions are data sufficiency questions. Below are examples of problem solving and data sufficiency questions
Example Problem Solving: If 5 men can paint one building in 6 days. How many men are required to paint 2 buildings in 4 days?
1. 24
2. 20
3. 14
4. 10
5. 5
Example Data sufficiency: After a certain percent of discount the price of cell phone becomes $40. What was the amount of discount in dollars?
1. The percent discount was 25%
2. Due to the discount the sale of cell phone increased by 25%
1. Statement 1alone is sufficient, but 2 alone is not
2. Statement 2 alone is sufficient, but 1 alone is not
3. Both statements together are sufficient
4. Neither statement is sufficient
5. Both statements together are not sufficient.
You would have covered the relevant math content in your junior/high school. Incidentally the math that appears in GMAT (or GRE) is not very different from SAT (or ACT). May be you don’t need to know trigonometry or calculus, but need to know arithmetic little better. If you read any GMAT Math guide review write up, you would realize that you have seen all the materials before.
The greatest challenge, however, is that you may not have seen or worked on a GMAT math (e.g., inequality or a coordinate question) for several years now. When was the last time you had to subtract one decimal number from a fraction?
If you find it hard to recall what you learned many years ago in your school, you are not an exception. In fact an overwhelming majority of test-takers are like you. This GMAT Math prep course is particularly suitable for what you need most. This WinGMAT video guide course is apt for all your Math related needs. The new GMAT computer adaptive test (CAT) is fundamentally not different in terms of topic from the previous version. However, the format, and sequences of question is now dependent on your performance in the previous question. Our gmat math review course is an effective solution to your problems. The format of the online course is explained below
1. Arithmetic
Percent
Ratio & percent
Distance, work and rate
Average
Number properties
2. Algebra
Equations
Inequalities
