Review of GMAT Quant Topics 1. Numbers & Operations 2.

Properties of Integers (zero is an integer - both positive and negative numbe rs) 3. Consecutive Integers (follow one another and differ by 1. Example is 6,7,8,9 are consecutive) 4. Value of number (does not change when multiplied by 1. 13 x 1 = 13) 5. Real Numbers (ordering, arranging numbers from smallest to greatest or from g reatest to smallest > <) 6. Order of Operations PEMDAS (Parenthesis, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction) 7. Decimals (place value starting from left of decimal point - tenths, hundredth s, thousandths) 8. Multiplying, Dividing, Adding, Subtracting Decimals 9. Fractions, Rational Numbers, Scientific Notation 10. Reciprocal of any number (n is expressed as 1 over n or 1/n) 11. Product of a number and reciprocal (always 1. Reciprocal of 3 is 1/3 and 3 x 1/3 = 3/3 which is 1) 12. Fraction to Decimal (divide numerator by denominator 3/4 = 0.75) 13. Rational Number (fraction whose numerator and denominator are both integers and denominator does not equal 0) 14. Scientific notation (when numbers are very large or small 667,000,000 is wri tten as 6.67 x 10 ^8 15. Ratio, proportion, percent 16. Ratio of 1 to 5 is 1/5 or 1:5 (be sure to differentiate between part-part an d part-whole ratios) example: 2 cups of flour: 1 cup of sugar is a part-part rat io. One group of students being compared to entire class it is a part-whole rati o 13 girls: 27 students( 17. Squares and Square root (size=9)(a number is considered a perfect square whe n the square root of that number is a whole number. 25 is a perfect square becau se square root of 25 is 5)[/size] 18. Arithmetic sequence, Geometric sequence 19. Factors and multiples 20. Prime number factors, common factors, greatest common factor (gcf) 21. Common multiples, multiples, least common multiples (LCM) 22. Commutative property of multiplcation 23. Distributive property of multiplication 24. Associative property of multiplication 25. Mean, Median, and Mode 26. Probability and outcomes 27. Absolute value 28. Factoring, Polynomials (use distributive property a(b + c) = ab + ac) 29. FOIL 30. Exponents, inequalities 31. Word problems - greater than, more than, and sum of (+) less than, fewer tha n, and difference (-) 32. Of and by means multiplication (x) and per means division (/) 33. Distance = rate x time 34. Simple annual interest - principal x interest rate x time Example: $10,000 a t 6.0% interest for 1 year. You would earn 10,000 x 0.06 x 1 or $600 in interest during that year --- if interest was compounded, interest must be computed on t he principal as well as on the interest that has already been earned 35. Geometry 36. Coordinate geometry (x,y) plane 37. Slope of line, slope intercept, parallel, perpendicular lines 38. Find distance between 2 points on plane- use distance formula 39. To find midpoint of line, use midpoint formula 40. Properties of triangles, equilateral triangle, isoceles, right and sum of in terior angles

41. Perimeter (p) is sum of lengths 42. Area is 1/2 (base)(height) 43. Quadrilaterals, lines and angles 44. Paralleogram 45. Area, rectangle is a polygon 46. Squares, line, line segment (acute, obtuse, and right triangles) 47. Other polygons (pentagon, hexagon, octagon) 48. Circle, radius, and diameter (area circumference, complete arc is 360 degree s) 49. 3D figures 50. Formula for volume (v) of rectangular solid is v=lwh where l is length, w is width, and h is height. 51. Formula for surface area of rectangular solid is 2(wl + lh + wh) 52. Standard deviation, frequency distribution table
