What is Tested on the GAT?
The GAT consists of three separate sections, each with its own number of questions.
Section 1: Quantitative Ability
During Quantitative section you’ll answer 30 to 35 math questions (in 30 minutes), covering topics from algebra, geometry, statistics, and other areas. Quantitative questions come in two flavors, Problem Solving and Geometry; they test the same underlying skills but do so in different ways, so you’ll want to learn the strategies for dealing with each type.
Section 2: Verbal Ability
During Verbal Ability section you’ll answer 35 to 50 questions depending upon your category. These questions focus on English Grammar (Sentence Correction), Analogies, Antonyms, Synonyms, Reading Comprehension, and Sentence Completion. Sentence Correction questions ask you to pick the sentence that is grammatically correct and has a clear, logical meaning. Reading Comprehension begins with a passage to read, accompanied by a series of questions to answer. The remaining question type focuses mainly on English vocabulary and logical relationship between the words and their usage.
Section 3: Analytical Reasoning
Analytical Reasoning section consisting of 20 to 30 questions depending upon your category. These questions come in two flavors:
First; Logical Reasoning sections assess your ability to analyze and evaluate arguments. Not only will you have to determine whether arguments are strong or weak, but you'll also have to understand precisely what causes that strength or weakness.
Second; The Analytical Reasoning section assesses your skills in basic logic, including deductive reasoning and finding structure within organized data. Some of the questions require matching skills, others require sequencing skills, and still, others will require both.
