Quantitative Test

The Quantitative Test will require you to:

-understand basic concepts of arithmetic, algebra, geometry, and data analysis

-reason quantitatively

-solve problems in a quantitative setting

To identify the skills that need extra work, complete a practice GAT test that gives additional information, and have a look at the skill report that is produced by your sample GAT. Or, complete a practice test and look for yourself at the areas where you excelled, and the areas where struggle was apparent.

Your “critical” math skills will be in the areas where you have made the most wrong answers on your practice GAT. Those will be the math skills that will best help your score in the shortest period of time, if you manage to practice and better these skills. This is the area in which you can maximize your score increase potential.

To master your critical math skills, there are certain steps you may take:

􀁹 Read over the skill lesson in this book, very carefully

􀁹 Find some practice GAT tests and work specifically on the questions that test your six critical math skills, practicing the new skills that you have learned in through your review.

Use textbooks for increased detail, assistance, and question examples for the areas in which you are struggling the most.

􀁹 Practice, practice, practice!

The best way to get to learn your math skills is to rehearse them with as many new sample questions as you can get your hands on. The questions you do, the more you will become familiar and comfortable with that type of question, so that you can move on and concentrate on other areas for perfection.
