Graduate Management Admission Test : Exam Date, Registration, Eligibility, Syllabus, Results

The GMAT Exam 2025 Quantitative Reasoning syllabus focuses on high school-level math, testing your ability to solve real-world problems using arithmetic and algebra. The section consists of 21 problem-solving questions to be answered in 45 minutes, with no calculator allowed. Key topics include:

• Arithmetic: Properties of integers (even/odd, prime numbers, divisibility), fractions, decimals, percentages, ratios and proportions, powers and roots, absolute values, number lines, estimation, and basic descriptive statistics (mean, median, mode, range).

• Algebra: Linear and quadratic equations, inequalities, expressions and exponents, simplifying algebraic expressions, solving for unknowns, and translating word problems into equations.

• Word Problems: Work and rate problems, mixtures and concentrations, speed/time/distance, profit and interest, investment, and age-related questions.

• Number Properties: Factors and multiples, prime factorization, least common multiple (LCM), greatest common divisor (GCD), remainders, divisibility rules, and odd/even or positive/negative number behavior.

Geometry and data sufficiency are no longer included in this section, and all questions are multiple-choice problem-solving types. The emphasis is on logical reasoning and mathematical modeling rather than advanced or abstract mathematics.

The GMAT Exam 2025 Verbal Reasoning section evaluates your ability to understand, analyze, and critically assess written material in standard English. This section consists of 23 multiple-choice questions to be answered in 45 minutes, focusing exclusively on Reading Comprehension and Critical Reasoning—Sentence Correction is no longer included.

Key topics include:

Reading Comprehension:

• Passages of varying lengths drawn from business, social sciences, physical sciences, and humanities.

• Questions test your ability to identify main ideas, supporting details, inferences, logical structure, author’s tone, and application of concepts.

Critical Reasoning:

• Short arguments or scenarios requiring logical evaluation.

• Questions assess your skills in identifying assumptions, drawing inferences, evaluating arguments, strengthening or weakening conclusions, resolving paradoxes, and recognizing logical flaws.

• Includes question types such as assumption, inference, evaluation, bold face, strengthen/weaken, and paradox.

All questions are multiple-choice and require careful reading, logical analysis, and the ability to draw conclusions based on evidence. The emphasis is on higher-order reasoning and argument analysis, reflecting the skills needed for business school and professional success.

GMAT Exam 2025 Data Insights

The GMAT Exam 2025 Data Insights section measures your ability to interpret and analyze data from various formats, a vital skill for business decision-making. This section contains 20 questions to be completed in 45 minutes, and you are allowed to use an on-screen calculator.

Key topics include:

Data Sufficiency:

• Assess whether the provided information is enough to answer a question, without fully solving it.

Multi-Source Reasoning:

• Integrate and compare information from different sources such as text, tables, or graphics, to answer questions or identify discrepancies.

Table Analysis:

• Analyze data in tables or spreadsheets to determine statistics, ratios, or extract relevant information.

Graphics Interpretation:

• Interpret data from visual formats like bar graphs or scatterplots to draw logical conclusions.

Two-Part Analysis:

• Solve two related problems simultaneously, often requiring both quantitative and logical reasoning.

All questions are multiple-choice and focus on data literacy and analytical thinking. The section is not computer-adaptive and is scored on a scale of 60–90.
