At one point, she believed GMAT wasn’t for her. After scoring 595, self-doubt crept in and she questioned her potential. But instead of quitting, she made the right strategic changes. The result? A remarkable comeback to 695. Check out how Saakshi did it.

Though i know it's a computer adaptive tests and depends on the level of individual tesr takers still if anyone can suggest as to how many questions are expected on average from geometry and Permutation and Combinations, Probability as i am finding these areas difficult

You should expect to see 3-5 Geometry questions. And I'd say 2-3 perm/comb/probability questions. I feel less certain about this second number, though.

I have what may be excellent news. The degree to which geometry and permutations and combinations questions are discussed in the GMAT community far outpace the way that GMAC actually tests these topics. In 2000-2001, GMAC made a pretty strong shift away from weighting Permutations and Combinations. Probability, Permutations, and Combinations now COMBINE to be ~4-5% of quant questions. Of that, probability is, by far, the heaviest weight. And permutations and combinations are rarely, if ever, of the complexity broadly discussed among students, tutors, and courses...those topics just look "cooler" than arithmetic and algebra, so people like talking about them...except for you, maybe.
Nothing on the GMAT is there because schools care whether you know the content; it's only there to test how you think. Do you think business schools care at all whether you can do 8th-grade geometry? They are looking for the next business tycoons. They want the next Musk, Jobs, Gates, Bezos, not the next middle school geometry teacher. So what's the GMAT trying to test? Option 1: geometry, permutations, algebra, absolute value. Option 2: creative and elegant solutions, figuring out what matters and what doesn't, out-of-the-box thinking, problem solving. If you agree that it's Option 2, look for ways to answer math questions (especially geometry and algebra) without doing the textbook math when there's a math topic that doesn't resonate.
