In GMAT, what should we assume, if we are presented with a diagram without any note? In other words, which of the following is correct:
(a) all diagrams are drawn to the scale unless there is a note to say otherwise
(b) only diagrams with a note saying "drawn to scale" are to be assumed as correct. Rest (if no note supplied), is to be seen with skepticism.
- Is this different for PS and DS?
Thanks.

I believe that there are instructions saying what you can assume at the beginning of the quantitative section. From what I understand, you cannot assume that anything is drawn to scale. As far as I know, pretty much the only things you can assume are that straight lines and circles are, in fact, straight lines and circles. There will be a few questions where the test may try to trick you by having the description contradict what the diagram looks like. For example, you might see a sqaure on the screen in front of you, but without the little right angle squares in at least 3 of the corners, you can't assume it's even a rectangle. And unless specifically stated, you can't assume that all sides are of equal length.
