The GMAT Quantitative Section

In the Quantitative section of the GMAT, 37 multiple choice questions will appear. The candidate’s score in this section will depend on the number of questions answered, number of correct answers and the level of difficulty of the questions in the test. The GMAT score ranges within the range of 0 and 60. This score is then scaled, added with the verbal score and depicted on a range of 200-800. The mathematical ability of the candidate is tested in the exam, along with his/her ability to understand, solve and analyze problems that usually are of the type, arithmetic, geometic or algebraic. Good mathematical knowledge combined with adequate calculational accuracy and lots of effective practice make the section an easy one to crack.
