GMAT CAT Geometry

Geometry is fairly unique among GMAT Quant topics. There are many more rules you must memorize (area, perimeter, triangle ratios, etc.), and there's often a diagram accompanying the question.

In GMAT, geometry starts with the basics - plane geometry - which is the study of lines and shapes in two dimensions. From that foundation, geometry constructs increasingly complex models to more accurately portray the real world. Three-dimensional geometry, or solid geometry, puts some depth to the plane. Three-dimensional geometry is almost as simple as plane geometry, with the added dimension of depth.

Despite how fascinating geometry is, in recent years the GMAT test-makers have decreased the number of math questions about planes and solids. This may come as a relief to those of you who aren't particularly fond of manipulating shapes and figures. But 20 percent of GMAT math questions still cover geometry concepts, and this chapter is designed to prepare you for all of 20 percent of them.
