LMAT Quantitative Structure
LMAT's Quantitative Ability section comprises of two parts:
- Problem Solving
- Data Sufficiency
LMAT Problem Solving
LMAT problem solving questions are designed more to test your understanding of underlying mathematical concepts than to test your ability to actually carry out quantitative procedures accurately.
Fortunately for many test takers, advanced quantitative topics, such as trigonometry and calculus, are not tested on the LMAT. To score well, you only need to be familiar with basic arithmetic, geometry, and algebra, as taught at the high school level.
LMAT Data Sufficiency
LMAT test writers use data sufficiency questions to test your ability to "reason quantitatively." This stands in sharp contrast to the problem solving section, which is designed to test how well you manipulate numbers. If you find yourself doing a lot of number crunching on the data sufficiency questions, you are doing something wrong.
LMAT Verbal Structure
LMAT's verbal section comprises of two parts:
- Sentence Correction
- Critical Reasoning
Reading comprehension questions are meant to test your understanding of the implications, meanings, and structures presented in the passages.
You can expect to see 2 to 4 passages of 200 to 400 words each, in the verbal section of the LMAT exam. Each passage will be followed by 4 questions. Because the LMAT is now a computer-adaptive test, you will only see 1 question at a time. The passage, however, will remain on your computer screen until you have answered all of the questions related to it.
Sentence Correction
LMAT sentence correction questions are designed to test your ability to identify written English that is grammatically-correct. Each question will begin with sentences, parts of which have been underlined. You will then be presented with 5 different answer choices presenting alternative ways of stating the underlined portion of the text. One answer choice will repeat the text without any changes (meaning that the sentence is clear in meaning and grammatically correct as written). The other choices will re-write the text, sometimes in subtle ways.
Critical Reasoning
Critical Reasoning of section of the test measures your ability to analyze and to draw result from a complex situation.
