GMAC does not publish the official list of study topics and materials besides some brief overview of what is provided in the Official Guide book but based on the analysis of the Official Questions as well as feedback from real GMAT exams, here is the most accurate un-official GMAT syllabus there is: Problem Solving Question Distribution Source: GMAT Prep Focus Edition based on 277 Problem Solving questions testing 416 topics https://gmatclub.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/gmat-focus-quant-2.png Word Problems: • Distance/Rate Problems • Mixture Problems • Overlapping Sets • Word Problems (other) • Work/Rate Problems Arithmetic and Algebra: • Absolute Values/Modulus • Algebra • Arithmetic • Functions and Custom Characters (this includes Coordinate Geometry) • Fractions/Ratios/Decimals • Inequalities • Min/Max Problems • Must or Could be True Questions • Exponents/Powers • Percent and Interest Problems • Roots • Sequences Number Theory: • Divisibility/Multiples/Factors • Number Properties • Remainders Statistics and Probability: • Combinations • Probability • Statistics and Sets Problems VERBAL (23 Questions, 45 mins) Critical Reasoning Question Distribution Source: GMAT Prep Focus Edition based on 98 Critical Reasoning questions testing 98 topics https://gmatclub.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Critical-reasoning-gmatprep-1.webp Critical Reasoning Additional Evidence Assumption Bold Face CR Cause and Effect Complete the Passage Conclusion Evaluate Argument Except Inference Logical Flaw Method of Reasoning Must be True Numbers Resolve Paradox Similar Reasoning Strengthen/Weaken Reading Comprehension Main Idea questions Specific detail questions Inference & Reasoning questions Vocabulary-related questions (based on the context) DATA INSIGHTS (20 Questions, 45 mins) Data Sufficiency Distribution Source: GMAT Prep Focus Edition based on 157 Data Sufficiency questions testing 157 topics https://gmatclub.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/DS-focus.png Data Sufficiency Tests most topics covered by the Quantitative portion along with some logic-based and verbal-based questions Graphs Interpretation Tests data analysis skills. Measures your ability to interpret the information presented in a graph or other graphical image (scatter plot, x/y graph, bar chart, pie chart, or statistical curve distribution) to discern relationships, and make inferences. Multi-Source Reasoning Logic and Data analysis questions similar to reading comprehension. Measures your ability to examine data from multiple sources including text passages, tables, graphics, or some combination of the three—and to analyze each source of data carefully to answer multiple questions. Some questions will require you to recognize discrepancies among different sources of data, while others will ask you to draw inferences, or require you to determine whether data is relevant. Table Analysis Measures your ability to sort and analyze a table of data, similar to a spreadsheet, in order to determine what information is relevant or meets certain conditions. Two-part Analysis Logic, quant, and data analysis mixed in one question. Measures your ability to solve complex problems. They could be quantitative, verbal, or some combination of both. The format is intentionally versatile to cover a wide range of content. Your ability to evaluate trade-offs, solve simultaneous equations, and discern relationships between two entities is measured.
