GMAT Quantitative Practice Questions

Mathematical proficiency is one of the necessities to take up GMAT test. It is not necessary for a person to be a wizard in mathematics but it is essential to have a strong understanding in basic mathematical concepts. Moreover it is a must to know how to apply one’s mathematical understanding in business studies. That is the reason for including quantitative section in GMAT test. And here in this article we have listed a selected set of quantitative problems which mirror the kind of quantitative problems actually given in the GMAT test. These problems will definitely make it easier for any individual to approach GMAT mathematical problems with ease and confidence at the time of the actual test..The practice questions for GMAT quant’s are elaborated below and the answers to the same are given at the very end of the questions:

Types of GMAT Quantitative Practice Questions

There are two types of GMAT quantitative questions –

• Problem Solving and
• Data Sufficiency

Questions of both types are given below:
