Hi everyone,
This is my first post but I’ve been lurking around the forums for a few weeks now. I did a quick search but couldn’t find exactly what I was looking for. My question is: about what percentage of the quantitative section tests algebra, number properties, word problems, geometry, etc.? I don’t think that I have enough time to go through all of the Manhattan math books before my test. My plan is to read the number properties, algebra, and fractions, decimals, and percentages books. Then do a lot of practice problems and study with material gathered from this forum to supplement the other areas of the quantitative section.
Feel free to make suggestions about my game plan! Thanks
There is no set percentage and there cannot be. Every person gets a different set of questions and a lot of things come into play in selecting every question. The software does try to ensure that the test taker sees questions from most topics. Also many questions involve concepts from multiple topics - a geometry question may involve number properties too.
That said, arithmetic (including number properties), algebra and geometry will form probably 90% of the test. The rest will be statistics, sets, P and C etc. So anyone preparing seriously for GMAT cannot afford to ignore these 3 sections.
