The GMAT test consists of four sections: Analytical Writing, Quantitative, Verbal, and Integrated Reasoning. The Quantitative section contains problem solving and data sufficiency questions testing arithmetic, algebra, and geometry. The Verbal section contains reading comprehension, critical reasoning, and sentence correction questions. It tests the ability to read, evaluate arguments, and edit written text. The Integrated Reasoning section involves analyzing data from tables, graphs, and multiple sources to answer two-part questions requiring reasoning skills.
