The Quantitative section consists of 30 questions in 45 minutes on all your favourite maths topics from high-school, arithmetic, algebra, geometry, probability and sets. Conspicuously there is no calculus and no trigonometry but do not breath a sigh of relief yet because there is also a ban on calculators. So it is back to a pencil and paper and remembering how to add two fractions, combine exponents and calculate the area of a circle. There are three types of questions, Problem Solving, Quantitative Comparison and Data Analysis.

Problem Solving questions make up about one third (10) of the questions in the Quantitative section. Each question consists of a math problem and 5 answers from which you can choose. They test your ability to solve equations and do arithmetic to find an exact answer.

Quantitative Comparison questions make up about one half (15) of the questions in the Quantitative section. In these questions you are given to expressions and asked to decide whether A) the first is bigger than the second or B) the second is bigger than the first or C) they are equal or D) that you cannot tell which has the bigger value.

Data Analysis questions make up about one sixth (5) of the questions in the Quantitative section. You will be given data in the form of a graph and/or table and be asked to answer about 5 multiple choice questions based on the data.
