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.

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.
