The General Aptitude Test measures how well you understand and reason, not what you memorized. Every question type has a fixed method; master it and the question becomes easy.
What is in the test
| Part | Questions | Types |
|---|---|---|
| Verbal | 65 | Verbal analogy · sentence completion · contextual error · association & difference · reading comprehension |
| Quantitative | 55 | Arithmetic · algebra · geometry · statistics & data · comparisons |
Rules to know
- 120 multiple-choice questions in alternating verbal and quantitative sections, each with its own timer.
- No going back to a finished section, but you can move around and review inside the current one.
- No calculator; the numbers are chosen so you can work them out in your head.
- No penalty for wrong answers, so never leave a question blank.
Suggested study plan (4 weeks)
- Week 1: read the verbal chapters and solve 20 questions of each type.
- Week 2: read arithmetic and algebra, and memorise the “Memory tables” chapter.
- Week 3: geometry, statistics and comparisons, plus a mini simulation every day.
- Week 4: a full simulation every other day, reviewing the “Mistakes notebook” after each one.
- Every pattern in this guide has a “Try one” button. Real learning happens when you solve it yourself.
Qiyas (the National Center for Assessment) sets the official counts and timing and may change them; check its site before your test.
