Data Sufficiency Distribution
Source: GMAT Prep Focus Edition based on 157 Data Sufficiency questions testing 157 topics
- Tests most topics covered by the Quantitative portion along with some logic-based and verbal-based questions
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
