Each Reading Comprehension question is based on a passage that may range in length from one paragraph to several paragraphs. About half of the questions on the test are based on passages. Passages are drawn from the physical sciences, biological sciences, social sciences, business, arts and humanities, and everyday topics. They are based on material found in books and periodicals, both academic and non-academic.
The number of questions based on a given passage can range from one to four. Questions can test any of your reading abilities, from understanding the meaning of a particular word to assessing evidence that might support or weaken points made in the passage. Many, but not all, of the questions are standard multiple-choice questions, in which you are required to select a single correct answer; others ask you to select multiple correct answers; and still others ask you to select a sentence from the passage. The questions associated with Reading Comprehension passages require you to:
Text Completion questions require you to assimilate the whole text with a constant attitude of interpretation and evaluation, reasoning from what you have read to create a picture of the whole and finding out the suitable words to complete the text. These questions omit crucial words from short texts and ask the test taker to use the remaining information in the text as a basis for selecting words or short phrases to fill the blanks and create a coherent, meaningful whole.
Like Text Completion questions, Sentence Equivalence questions test your ability to reach a conclusion about how a sentence should be completed on the basis of partial information, but to a greater extent they focus on the meaning of the completed whole. Sentence Equivalence questions consist of a single sentence with just one blank, and they ask you to find two choices that lead to a complete, coherent sentence while producing sentences that mean the same thing.
Question StructureQuestion Types
The Quantitative Reasoning section has the following types of questions:
These questions ask you to compare two quantities — Quantity A and Quantity B — and then determine which of the following statements describes the comparison.
Multiple-choice Questions — Select One Answer Choice
These multiple-choice questions ask you to select only one answer choice from a list of five choices.
Multiple-choice Questions — Select One or More Answer Choices
These multiple-choice questions ask you to select one or more answer choices from a list of choices. The question may or may not specify the number of choices to select.
Numeric Entry Questions
These questions ask you either to enter your answer as an integer or a decimal in a single answer box or as a fraction in two separate boxes — one for the numerator and one for the denominator. You'll use the computer mouse and keyboard to enter your answer.
Each question appears either independently as a discrete question or as part of a set of questions called a Data Interpretation set. All questions in a Data Interpretation set are based on the same data presented in tables, graphs or other displays of data.
Data Interpretation Sets
Data Interpretation questions are grouped together and refer to the same table, graph or other data presentation. These questions ask you to interpret or analyze the given data. The types of questions may be Multiple-choice (both types) or Numeric Entry.
