Integers: what counts as even, odd, positive and negative?

Tap the card to see the answer. Swipe or use the arrows to change cards.

Answer

Even integers divide by 2 with no remainder; odd integers leave remainder 1. Zero is even, and zero is neither positive nor negative.

Example −4, 0 and 12 are even; −3 and 7 are odd.

What changed since our 2013 deck

Our first deck, from 2013, was written for the old GMAT. This edition replaces it.

  • Sentence Correction and geometry are gone, because the GMAT no longer tests them.
  • New cards on all five Data Insights question types, and how to attack each one.
  • Every formula is checked, and each one comes with a worked example.
  • Current exam facts: 64 questions, 2 hours 15 minutes, scores from 205 to 805.

NumbersQuantitative Reasoning · 30 cards

  1. Integers: what counts as even, odd, positive and negative?

    Even integers divide by 2 with no remainder; odd integers leave remainder 1. Zero is even, and zero is neither positive nor negative.

    Example −4, 0 and 12 are even; −3 and 7 are odd.

  2. Even and odd rules for + and ×

    even ± even = even, odd ± odd = even, even ± odd = odd. A product is even if any factor is even; it is odd only when every factor is odd.

    Example 3 × 5 × 7 = 105 (odd); 3 × 5 × 8 = 120 (even).

  3. What is a prime number?

    A positive integer with exactly two factors: 1 and itself. 1 is not prime. 2 is the only even prime.

    Example Primes under 30: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29.

AlgebraQuantitative Reasoning · 24 cards

  1. Solving a linear equation

    Do the same thing to both sides until x stands alone: clear fractions, gather x terms on one side, then divide.

    Example (x/3) + 4 = 10 → x/3 = 6 → x = 18.

  2. Two equations, two unknowns

    Combine the equations (add or subtract to cancel a variable) or substitute one into the other.

    Example x + y = 10 and x − y = 4 → add: 2x = 14, x = 7, y = 3.

  3. When does a system have no single solution?

    When one equation is a multiple of the other (infinitely many solutions) or the left sides match but the right sides differ (no solution).

    Example x + y = 5 and 2x + 2y = 10 are the same line: x and y are not fixed.

Word problemsQuantitative Reasoning · 22 cards

  1. Distance, rate and time

    Distance = rate × time. Keep the units the same (minutes vs hours).

    Example 150 miles at 60 mph takes 150 ÷ 60 = 2.5 hours.

  2. Average speed over a whole trip

    Total distance ÷ total time. It is NOT the average of the two speeds.

    Example 60 miles at 30 mph (2 h) and 60 miles at 60 mph (1 h): 120 ÷ 3 = 40 mph.

  3. Two objects moving toward or away from each other

    Add their speeds. Moving the same direction, one chasing the other: subtract.

    Example Trains 300 miles apart at 70 and 80 mph, heading toward each other, meet in 300 ÷ 150 = 2 hours.

Stats and probabilityQuantitative Reasoning · 20 cards

  1. Mean (average)

    Mean = sum ÷ number of items. So sum = mean × number of items.

    Example 4 tests average 85 → total 340. A fifth test of 95 makes the mean 435 ÷ 5 = 87.

  2. Median

    Put the values in order. Odd count: the middle value. Even count: the average of the two middle values.

    Example 3, 8, 9, 15 → median (8 + 9) ÷ 2 = 8.5.

  3. Mode and range

    Mode: the value that appears most often (there can be more than one). Range: largest − smallest.

    Example 2, 4, 4, 7, 10 → mode 4, range 8.

Critical ReasoningVerbal Reasoning · 26 cards

  1. What is a Critical Reasoning question?

    A short argument or set of facts (usually under 100 words) and one question about it, with five answer choices. It tests how arguments work, not outside knowledge.

    Example "Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument?"

  2. Read the question stem first. Why?

    The stem tells you what to look for while you read: a gap to fill, a gap to exploit, or facts to combine.

    Example Weaken stem → while reading, hunt for the conclusion and its weak spot.

  3. Parts of an argument

    Conclusion: the main claim. Premises: the facts given to support it. Assumption: an unstated idea the conclusion needs.

    Example "Sales rose after the ad ran, so the ad caused the rise." Assumption: nothing else caused it.

Reading ComprehensionVerbal Reasoning · 18 cards

  1. What is a Reading Comprehension set?

    A passage of roughly 200 to 350 words on business, science or social science, followed by about 3 or 4 questions. You see one question at a time, with the passage beside it.

    Example A passage on why coral reefs bleach, then 3 questions.

  2. How should you read the passage?

    Read for the structure, not every detail: the main point, the job of each paragraph, and the author's view. Come back for details when a question asks.

    Example Paragraph 1: old theory. Paragraph 2: new evidence. Paragraph 3: author favors the new theory.

  3. Write a passage map

    A few words per paragraph on your noteboard. It takes 20 seconds and saves you re-reading.

    Example P1: problem. P2: 2 causes. P3: author's fix, with limits.

Data SufficiencyData Insights · 18 cards

  1. What is a Data Sufficiency question?

    A question plus two statements. You decide whether the statements give enough information to answer it. You do not need to find the answer itself.

    Example "What is x? (1) 2x + 3 = 11 (2) x2 = 16" → (1) alone works.

  2. The five answer choices

    (A) Statement 1 alone is sufficient, 2 alone is not. (B) 2 alone is sufficient, 1 alone is not. (C) Both together are sufficient, neither alone. (D) Each alone is sufficient. (E) Not sufficient even together.

    Example Learn them cold: they never change.

  3. The order to work in

    Test statement (1) alone. Then forget it and test (2) alone. Only if neither works alone, test them together.

    Example (1) yes, (2) yes → D. (1) no, (2) no, together yes → C.

Other Data InsightsData Insights · 24 cards

  1. The Data Insights section at a glance

    20 questions in 45 minutes. Five question types: Data Sufficiency, Multi-Source Reasoning, Table Analysis, Graphics Interpretation and Two-Part Analysis. It counts as much as Quant or Verbal toward your total score.

    Example 45 ÷ 20 = about 2 minutes 15 seconds per question.

  2. Is there a calculator?

    Yes, an on-screen calculator in Data Insights only. Quantitative Reasoning has no calculator.

    Example Use it for 17.3% of 4,860; do 25% of 80 in your head.

  3. Partial credit on multi-part questions?

    None. A question with several parts (yes/no rows, two drop-downs, two columns) counts as right only if every part is right.

    Example Two of three Table Analysis rows right = the whole question wrong.

Questions about free GMAT flashcards

Are these GMAT flashcards free?

Yes. The first 27 cards are open on this page with no sign-up. Enter your email and all 200 cards open here, and the 42-page PDF downloads.

What do the flashcards cover?

All three sections of the GMAT and test day: 96 Quant cards, 44 Verbal cards, 42 Data Insights cards and 18 test day cards. Each card is one rule, formula or question type with a worked example.

Do they cover Sentence Correction or geometry?

How should I study with GMAT flashcards?

A few minutes a day. Tap a card, say the answer before you flip it, and mark it I knew it or Study again. This page remembers the cards you know in this browser, so each set shrinks to the ones you still miss.

Can I print the flashcards?

Yes. Print the PDF single-sided on Letter or A4 paper, cut around each card and fold it on the dashed line, so the question is on the front and the answer on the back.
