Number of questions of each type: SC, CR, RC in the actual GMAT exam

You may see slight variations -- but there is generally a focused range of # of questions for each question type:

TEST STRUCTURE

Part IA: Analytical Writing Assessment (AWA) – [1 Essay + IR, 60 minutes]
A. Analysis of an Argument (30 minutes)
B. Integrated Reasoning (30 minutes)

5 min break

Part II: Quantitative Section (37 questions, 75 minutes)
A. Problem Solving (23 or 24)
B. Data Sufficiency (13 or 14)

5 min break

Part III: Verbal Section (41 questions, 75 minutes)
A. Critical Reasoning (14 or 15)
B. Reading Comprehension(4 passages, 12-14)
C. Sentence Correction (14 or 15)

For the Integrated Reasoning section -- as described here: https://www.gmatpill.com/gmat-practice-t ... -reasoning

Time: 30 minutes
Questions: 12 Total (~8-10 real, ~2-4 experimental)
Graphics Interpretation (~2-3 questions)
Two-Part Analysis (~3-4 questions)
Table Analysis (~1-2 questions)
Multi Source Reasoning (~2-3 questions)

Each question has multiple parts. Since there is no partial credit, you'll need to answer all parts correctly in order to get credit for that question. GMAT scoring in this section is out of 8.


So any combination that fits in the above requirements can be fair game.

I wanted to correct the distribution of PS and DS cited in the above comment:

Problem Solving: 18 to 21.
Data Sufficiency: 16 to 19.

The distribution does vary from test to test but I have never seen 13 data sufficiency questions out of a total of 37.
Here are some examples form official GMATPrep tests.

Exam Pack 1: Test 3
PS: 20
DS: 17

Exam Pack 1: Test 4
PS: 21
DS: 16

Hi there,
May i ask if each part of the test (e.g: SC, CR, RC for Verbal) will be separated or mixed?
Many thanks,

Hi thaonguyen031194,

To start, the earlier posts in this discussion refer to the prior version of the GMAT (which had 41 Verbal questions; the current version has just 36).

In both the Quant and Verbal sections, the various question types will be 'shuffled' - meaning that you will NOT see all the questions of a particular type in a row. With the Verbal section in particular, this means that you have to be prepared to quickly shift from one set of Verbal skills to the next (for example, you might have to go from a couple of SCs to a long RC prompt with 3-4 questions, to a CR prompt, etc.). Thankfully, you can train for all of this by taking FULL-LENGTH CATs/mocks at regular intervals during your studies.

Have you taken any CATs yet? If not, then it would be a good idea to take a FULL-LENGTH practice CAT Test sometime soon; you can access 2 for free at www.mba.com (and they come with some additional practice materials). That score will give us a good sense of your natural strengths and weaknesses and will help provide a basis for comparison as you continue to study. A FULL CAT takes about 3.5 hours to complete, so make sure that you've set aside enough time to take it in one sitting. Once you have that Score, you should report back here and we can discuss the results and any adjustments that we might make to your study plan.

Before I can offer you any additional advice, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:

Studies:
1) How long have you studied? How many hours do you typically study each week?
2) What study materials have you used so far?
3) On what dates (or approximate dates) did you take EACH of your CATs/mocks and how did you score on EACH (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?

Goals:
4) What is your overall goal score?
5) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?
