What is the GMAT™ Official Advanced Questions?  \nThe GMAT™ Official Advanced Questions is a compilation of 300 hard Quantitative Reasoning and Verbal Reasoning questions, similar in difficulty level to hard questions found in the GMAT Official Guide series. Some of these questions have appeared in earlier editions ofthe GMAT Official Guide series; others have never been published before.  \nLike all GMAT questions, hard GMAT questions test higher-order reasoning skills identified as key factors of success in classrooms and job performances by educators and employers. They are unlike questions on other types of achievement-based exams, which focus more on mastery of mechanical cognitive skills and domain-specific knowledge. To solve GMAT questions, a test taker needs to demonstrate higher-order reasoning skills by understanding the underlying relationships between multiple concepts or arguments, identifying patterns, synthesizing information presented in various formats, and/or evaluating relevant information from different sources. What makes some GMAT questions harder than others is the level of complexity: hard GMAT questions typically involve multiple reasoning tasks or concepts and require more than one step to solve. They do not require mastery of skills and knowledge such as advanced-level mathematics, extensive calculations, or a large vocabulary in order to be solved.  \nII. Who should use the GMAT™ Official Advanced Questions?  \nThe GMAT™ Official Advanced Questions is designed for test takers who have studied the questions in the GMAT Official Guide series and desire additional practice with hard questions.  \nFor a simulation of the real exam experience, there are six GMAT Official Practice Exams—the first two are free to all [mba.com](mba.com) registrants—which are available on [mba.com](mba.com) and feature questions from past GMAT exams and use the same scoring algorithm as the actual exam.  \nIII. How should I use the GMAT™ Official Advanced Questions?  \nUse the GMAT™ Official Advanced Questions for additional practice. The questions are organized by fundamental skills tested on the GMAT exam to better help you locate the specific skill type that you may want to improve. The fundamental skills are the same ones listed in the GMAT™ Enhanced Score Report, a non-official score report that provides more detailed information about your performance on the actual GMAT exam, which include:  \nQuantitative Reasoning  \n• Geometry—3-dimensional geometry; angles in the plane/lines and segments; circle/area; combo: circle/quadrangle/area/perimeter; coordinate geometry; polygon (5 or more sides); Pythagorean Theorem; quadrilateral area  \n• Rates/Ratio/Percent—conversion of fractions/decimals/percentages; graduated rate; percent (basic); ratio, proportion  \n• Value/Order/Factors—absolute value; computation-decimals; exponents; factors, multiples, divisibles; number line and order; place value; positive and negative numbers; remainders  \n• Equalities/Inequalities/Algebra—algebraic manipulation; applying formula; linear equation;  \nlinear inequality; measurement conversion; newly defined functions; quadratic/other equalities/ inequalities; systems of equations/inequalities; translation to algebraic expression  \n• Counting/Sets/Series—counting (combinatorics); estimation; series and sequences; sets  \nGMAT™ Official Advanced Questions  \nVerbal Reasoning  \n• Critical Reasoning Analysis/Critique—ability to analyze given information and make reasoned judgments by evaluating and breaking down an argument  \n• Critical Reasoning Construction/Plan—ability to construct a plan ofaction to find the best logical solution  \n• Reading Comprehension Identify Inferred Idea—ability to comprehend what a passage implies but does not explicitly mention  \n• Reading Comprehension Identify Stated Idea—ability to recognize and understand the ideas explicitly expressed in a passage  \n• Senten","cbCairGXqswFpKAW","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairGXqswFpKAW","pdf",48049,"English","# Chapter 1 Introduction\n## What is the GMAT™ Official Advanced Questions?\n## Who should use the GMAT™ Official Advanced Questions?\n## How should I use the GMAT™ Official Advanced Questions?","[{\"question\":\"What is the GMAT™ Official Advanced Questions collection?\",\"answer\":\"It is a compilation of 300 hard Quantitative Reasoning and Verbal Reasoning questions.
