Interesting Stats for QUANT

This is a follow-up to the stats similar to SC.

My analysis for OG 11 with the help of MGMAT is as follows.

Total PS Q's = 261 (59%)
Total DS Q's = 180 (41%)

Total Fractions, Dec & Per cents = 89 (20%)
Total Number Props = 67 (15%)
Total Equations, Inequalities, VIC's = 103 (23%)
Total Geometry = 61 (14%)
Total Word Translations = 121 (27%)

So from the above I conclude the following:

Roughly 60% questions will be PS and 40% DS. The bulk topics tested are Fractions (Dec & Per cents), Equations (Inequalities, VIC's) and Word Translations making 70%!!!!

Are my above assumptions correct?

P.S. If anyone is interested in the breakdown topics by question type PS and DS let me know. Nevertheless when broken out the conclusion above is the same.

I don't have the official breakdown, but this looks more-or-less correct to me. Thanks very much for sharing this analysis, like you did for SC!
