#of RCs on a real GMAT

by tonebeeze » Wed Oct 12, 2011 11:04 am
Hello,

Does anyone know if there is a standard distribution of RCs, between short passages and long passages, on the GMAT? On my first GMAT I had 3 short passages and 1 long passage. On my second GMAT I had 3 long passages and one short/medium passage. Was it possible that one of the RC was experimental? Most GMAT test companies say that the GMAT usually goes with the former distribution of 3 short passages and 1 long passage.

Your second distribution is more typical, but as always there is statistical variance.
