Graduate Management Admission Test

This test is taken by the students who are applying for admission to either MBA or other graduate management programs. It tests analytical writing, integrated reasoning, quantitative, and verbal skills. GMAT is computer adaptive test.

In Verbal Section there are different sections which are Reading Comprehension, Critical Reasoning and Sentence Correction. Following are the some tips for Reading Comprehension. There will be 41 questions in 75 mins.

A. Reading Comprehension 
Reading Comprehension questions are commonly about the main idea of the passage, the factual details, inferences, or “application” of content.  In this section,  a passage will be given on a topic and multiple choice questions based on the same. You need not have an in-depth knowledge of the topic. Rather you should be able to
• Understand the underlying concept of the passage
• Grasp the key idea and the relationship between the various entities involved.

How to Approach effectively

In verbal questions, find an approach that helps you make the best use of your personal reading abilities.
(1) You might skim the passage, trying to pick out the most important pieces of information in the first or last sentence of every paragraph. Such an approach can result in isolating wrong bits of information, however, and missing the key ideas of the passage.
(2) In an effort to save time, you might skip the passage and use key words in the questions to search for the relevant information, a method that does not work well for inference and general purpose or main idea questions.
(3) You might rely on a single thorough reading, which can be very time-consuming, since going back to the passage is almost always necessary because it is impossible to memorize everything, and you never know which details can come up in the questions.
(4) Your most effective approach, though,  to read the whole text quickly, paying minimum attention to details and focusing on the main idea or purpose of the passage.

In GMAT verbal you do not need a profound understanding. It aims at simply- to grasp the four basic elements of a passage: its main point, its purpose, its structure, and the author’s attitude toward the subject.

GMAT passages stem from a variety of subject areas—life sciences, social sciences, and business among the most common also will most likely  get one unfamiliar topic, regardless of your background. Must get the information from the passage only to answer all the questions.

Critical Reasoning

There  will be 12-14 critical reasoning questions in 30 mins. The passage is in the form of an argument with five answer choices. Try to find out

- The useful information from the irrelevant matter
- Identify the key points that influence, strengthen or weaken the given argument

Carefully go through the argument to logically analyze it, read through the options carefully to be able to decide which option would be the best possible answer.

One of the basic but essential skills for critical Reasoning questions is understanding the structure of GMAT argument, for example , recognizing the conclusion or an assumption. Cannot evaluate, weaken, or strengthen a conclusion if you do not know an assumption is.

Argument include three types of information:

Evidence(factual information)
Stated or unstated conclusion( based on evidence)
Assumptions( unstated but essential information)

Evidence- is factual information presented as true. Evidence   can be identified by the presence of dates or data ( percentage, statistics and general information).Introduced by words such as because, since, owning to.

The  function of the evidence is to provide grounds for the conclusion, to support it.

Conclusion- is the main point the argument attempts to make. It is often placed at the very beginning or end of the argument. GMAT arguments often introduce conclusions with words such as so, therefore, means that, indicates that . Some arguments may also have sub-conclusions that are based on evidence and can be used to support the main conclusion. A good way to identify a conclusion is to find the one sentence or phrase in the argument that best conveys its message.

Assumptions- are not stated in the argument. Questions ask  about an argument’s assumptions are similar to those that ask what would weaken the argument.  In  either case find out what must be assumed in order for the argument's conclusion to be reasonably inferable.

Sentence correction-  Sentence correction questions present a statement in which words are underlined. Then choose the answer options the best expression of the idea or relationship described in the underlined section. this section basically judges the grammar rules.

These are:-

1. agreement: noun-verb and pronoun.

2. diction : among/between, as/like.

3. Idiom : prepositions, forms of comparison, correlatives.

4. parallelism: check that phrases, clauses, verbs and other sentence elements parallel each other.

5. rhetorical  questions and  verb form questions-make sure that verbs are used in correct tense.

AWA( ANALYTICAL  WRITING ASSESMENT)

This section requires you to write a critique of the given argument by analyzing the reasoning presented in the argument. You are not supposed to present your own views on the subject, are expected to critically analyze the presented argument and evaluate if it is a logically sound one. As part of your analysis of the argument,  should present your analysis by identifying weaknesses in the present argument and provide suggestions to strengthen the argument.
