GAT quantitative: practice for the quantitative section

3 interactive questions with solutions on this page

The quantitative section is where scores vary most between students, because it rewards method rather than memory. Here you practise the question types exactly as they appear in the General Aptitude Test, and after every exam you see the solution written with fractions, roots and equations as in a maths textbook.

01Question types in the quantitative section

Arithmetic

Ratio and proportion, percentages, speed–distance–time, prime numbers, division and factors. Short questions — the trap is reading too fast.

Algebra

Solving equations and inequalities, sequences, substitution and relations between variables. Often solved faster by plugging in the answer choices than by a full solution.

Geometry

Angles, triangles, circles, areas, perimeters and solids. A small set of formulas, but they must come to mind without thinking.

Statistics and data analysis

Mean, median and mode, reading tables and charts, and simple probability.

Comparisons

Compare two quantities and decide which is larger, or whether the information is insufficient. Many students lose marks here because they calculate instead of comparing.

03Strategies that raise your quantitative score

  • Memorise the core formulas (areas, perimeters, Pythagoras, the mean) until they are automatic.
  • In algebra, try substituting the answer choices before solving fully; it saves a lot of time.
  • In comparisons, avoid computing the full value when simplifying or checking the sign is enough.
  • Review your mistakes after every practice test; 80% of errors repeat in one or two question types.

FAQ

What is the difference between the quantitative and verbal sections?

Quantitative measures mathematical reasoning (arithmetic, algebra, geometry, statistics) and comparison; verbal measures language understanding: reading comprehension, sentence completion, analogies and contextual errors.

Do I need a calculator for the GAT quantitative section?

Calculators are not allowed in the General Aptitude Test; the questions are designed to be solved mentally or with a few short steps on paper.
