GMAT

There are technically three sections on the GMAT exam:

1. Quantitative Reasoning (QR)
2. Verbal Reasoning (VR)
3. Data Insights (DI)

These are the sections on GMAT exam and they can be attempted in any order. There is no hard and fast rule that they have to be attempted in the above given order. 

The GMAT exam syllabus is fixed and is not dynamic. There are a fixed set of topics per section that applicants have to look at to prepare for the syllabus. The exam sylabus does not change randomly or at a short span, official statements are released and time is given for implementation as well. 

DI section includes a lot of topics that require critical and analytical prowess which comes only with practice. Applicants who are good with interpreting data can be at an added advantage here. This section can be best attempted only after looking at different data sets and assessing them and answering the questions accordingly. 

The syllabus of Data Insights (DI) section on the GMAT exam consists of the following topics:

• Data Sufficiency
• Multi Source Reasoning
• Table Analysis
• Graphics Interpretation
• Two Part Analyses

Yes, GMAT exam syllabus is quite vast and despite some topic slashes like sentence correction, geometry and AWA (essay), the syllabus still has lots of topics. The Quant section has the maximum topics and is one of the biggest sections. Followed by Verbal Reasoning section where reading and critical analysis is tested. Finally, the latest Data Insights section is the next the biggest section with graph interpretation, data interpretation and tables along with other topics. Thus, GMAT includes a wide range of topics to test its applicants for admissions. 

A well planned study schedule, regular practice and brushing up the English language skills are essential to score more on VR section of GMAT. Applicants must also have a thorough understanding of the VR section's syllabus and must cover it end to end to aim for a high score.

The best way to improve English language skills is through:

• Having a habit of reading regularly - books, magazines or journals.
• Brushing up English langiage rules and implementing them.
• Learning new words everyday to build vocabulary. 
• Build communication skills and conversing in English with friends and family. 
• Also journaling in English language can be a plus point. 

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
