GMAT

This is a very subjective question and the answer may vary per applicant. Those who have a good command over the English language can be more confident for this section. While those who are not very confident about the language and the rules may falter a bit. But with enough practice and a good preparation strategy it will be a cakewalk to ace this section like a pro!

The Verbal Reasoning on GMAT tests applicants on:

• Reading Comprehension
• Critical Reasoning
• English grammar and skills

For some, the QR section maybe a cakewalk, however for some it may not be. Thus, this is a very subjective question and will not have a cut-to-cut answer. Applicants who are confident enough would require some additional practice to crack the section. But those who are not very confident, would need to give extra time for preparation, take a lot of practice tests and be adept to make through the minimum cutoff requirement. 

For GMAT Quant, focus heavily on Data Sufficiency and key areas: Number Properties, Algebra (especially exponents/roots), and Word Problems. Also, master Geometry concepts. These topics are tested most frequently on the exam.

There are different topics on GMAT QR section and these include:

The following topics have been removed from GMAT's syllabus upon transition:

• Sentence Correction
• Geometry
• Analytical Writing Assessment or the AWA section which was the essay section

No, there is no provision for superscoring GMAT scores upon multiple retakes. The last exam that applicant takes will be the final score. They send all your GMAT results. However, some business schools might pick your best sections. But the official GMAT score report shows every exam separately.

You can still give GMAT even if you have a gap year or backlog. Though backlog details may not be required when registering for GMAT exam, but will be required during the admission process.

Yes, even if you have a backlog, you can still appear for GMAT exam. There is no rule which bars applicants to appear for GMAT exam with a backlog or without results in hand. 

Retaking GMAT to improve scores can be considered. But retaking GMAT multiple times can be time consuming, challenging and may hurt the pocket. There is no superscoring on GMAT. So try to clear GMAT in one go and avoid retaking it.
