The quantitative section follows next, and consists of multiple choice questions related to data sufficiency and problem solving. You are given 75 minutes to complete this section. The third portion is the verbal section. This portion of the exam consists of multiple choice questions based on reading comprehension, critical reasoning and sentence correction. If you do not finish each multiple-choice section of the test, your score will depend on the number of questions answered within each section.

As more students take the GMAT and vie for limited openings in top schools, the competition for top scores will continue to grow.
