Hello

I would like to clarify if the Median and Centroid concepts in Geometry are tested in GMAT PS(Problem Solving) and DS(Data Sufficiency) section.I have attempted certain mock tests and could hardly find questions pertaining to them.

Resilience is a trait that manifests in an individual when he/she faces consistent failures motivating them to succeed in the end.

The GMAT exam measures your ability to think logically and solve complex problems. While you will need to know basic math concepts, including geometry, to be successful in the exam, you should not view the GMAT exam as a test of mathematical proficiency. During the exam you will likely encounter test questions that will require an understanding of geometry, but it is not a geometry test. I hope that clarifies things for you.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
