Hello,

is the order of answers important in the GMAT exam?
Because if you change the order of the answers, you ́ll get a wrong result.
Also important for the real exam?

Thank you

Not sure what you mean but you can answer either drop down in any sequence. However, if you get one drop down wrong, the whole question is wrong.

picking the inconsistency between Guides and monographs is easy to find, but placing which to which category was hard:
for 1st, there are 7000 Guides listed in bar graph but in circle it is marked as 5400,
so in bar graph we have listed some other category into Guides by mistake.

The circle graph and the bar graph were created by two different people. They represent the same inventory of 28,000 items. However, the people creating the graphs classified some of the items differently (placing some of the items into different categories).

Select from each drop-down menu the option that creates the most accurate statement.

It can be inferred from the information provided that the category of in the bar graph includes items that are not classified the same in the circle graph.

Should we really be expecting such a confusing wording question in actual GMAT FOCUS?
This question is from GMAT Prep Focus official Mocks, which contain real retired questions from the test. So yes, absolutely, you can get such questions. Can you please clarify what exactly you find unclear in the wording? I think it is quite clear and precise. Basically, we have two different types of graphs the circle graph and the bar graph. Both are based on the same total inventory, but the items are classified differently in each graph. The question simply asks you to identify these different classifications, that’s it.
