Hi

Will we be tested on standard deviation problems in the GMAT test? and also I would like to know whether the set of 3-4 reading comprehension questions we get per passage are computer adaptive or are they already fixed per passage?

Thanks

Hi Kapil,

Yes. It is possible that you will be tested on standard deviation. The Official Guide for GMAT Review, 13th Edition and the GMATPrep software offers everything that will be covered on the exam. You can locate this information in the Official Guide, 13th Edition, on page 115, about how standard deviation will be covered on the exam. Regarding your second inquiry, we do not provide that information.

Thank you
Leah
