GMAT Quantitative Reasoning

It’s 21 multiple-choice Problem Solving questions in 45 minutes, and you can’t use a calculator. GMAC calls the math about high school level: word problems, arithmetic, algebra, statistics and probability. The GMAT Quantitative section is scored from 60 to 90, and it counts for a third of your total.

Can you use a calculator on the GMAT?

Not in Quant. Data Insights gives you an on-screen calculator, and that’s the only one you get: GMAC says you can’t use your own calculator on the GMAT.

So practice mental math, fractions and estimates.

GMAC’s tips for GMAT Quant

  • Back-solve: answer choices are always in increasing or decreasing order, so start from the middle one and test it.
  • Plug in your own simple numbers when a problem has none.
  • Estimate when the choices are far apart.
  • Keep an error log of what you miss and why.
  • Read the question again before you answer: you can get the right answer to the wrong question.

How Quant is scored

GMAC bases the score on how many questions you answer, whether you get them right and how hard those questions are. The scale runs from 60 to 90, and the percentile page shows where each Quant score sits.
