\"2016<\/a>I have been working closely with the publisher of the Official Guide for GMAT Review over the past few weeks, in advance of the June 8 release of the 2016 editions, to help improve the online version of the Official Guides. In doing so, I have thoroughly analyzed the 2016 versions of the GMAT Official Guides, and want to give you an overview of what to expect. Out of respect for the GMAC, I cannot share specific questions. In this post, we will instead focus specifically on how the 2016 GMAT Quantitative Official Guide<\/a> differs from the 2015 edition in terms of question difficulty and math concepts<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Problem Solving – Difficulty<\/h2>\n

Both the 2015 and 2016 editions of the GMAT Quantitative Official Guide contain 176 Problem Solving questions. But the allocation of question difficulty<\/strong>, as assigned by the GMAC, has noticeably shifted<\/strong>. In particular, the Easy category has expanded whereas the Medium category has shrunk. A big portion of these change resulted from the GMAC downgrading 10 questions from Medium difficulty<\/strong> (in the 2015 edition) to Easy<\/strong> (in the 2016 edition). Interestingly, one Hard question (#159 in the 2015 edition) has also been downgraded all the way to Easy.<\/p>\n

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Difficulty<\/strong><\/th>\n2016<\/strong><\/th>\n2015<\/strong><\/th>\nChange<\/strong><\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n

Total<\/strong><\/td>\n176<\/td>\n176<\/td>\n—<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n

A total of 44 brand new questions<\/strong>, which we have never seen before, appear in the 2016 GMAT Quantitative Official Guide, with difficulty ratings of Easy \/ Medium \/ Hard as follows: 22 \/ 13 \/ 9<\/strong>. This is in lieu of 44 questions from the 2015 edition that have been removed, with difficulty ratings of Easy \/ Medium \/ Hard as follows: 17 \/ 20 \/ 7. Let\u2019s further break down how each of these difficulty categories has changed.<\/p>\n

Problem Solving – Concepts<\/h2>\n

Let\u2019s now consider changes in the concepts of the 44 new (in 2016) and the 44 removed (from 2015) Problem Solving questions. GMAT Genius classifies questions based on their primary and secondary concepts. In order to observe trends, we have condensed our categorization as follows:<\/p>\n

Although we cannot draw definite conclusions from this data about question composition on the GMAT, what clearly stands out is the decrease in algebraic equations and the increase in functions and sequences<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Data Sufficiency – Difficulty<\/h2>\n

Both the 2015 and 2016 editions of the GMAT Quantitative Official Guide contain 124 Data Sufficiency questions. As with Problem Solving, the allocation of question difficulty has noticeably shifted<\/strong>. Once again, the Easy category has expanded whereas the Medium category has shrunk. Interestingly, the GMAC has upgraded 23 Medium questions<\/strong> (from the 2015 edition) to Hard<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

This is in lieu of 31 questions from the 2015 edition that have been removed, with difficulty ratings of Easy \/ Medium \/ Hard as follows: 1 \/ 6 \/ 24. Let\u2019s further break down how each of these difficulty categories has changed.<\/p>\n

Although we again cannot draw definite conclusions from this data about question composition on the GMAT, what clearly stands out is the decrease in algebraic equations and divisibility concepts, offset by the increase in coordinate geometry and applied word problems<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Removed Questions<\/h2>\n

Here is the list of the questions that have been removed from the 2015 edition<\/strong> of the GMAT Quantitative Official Guide. We\u2019ll publish a list of the new questions in the 2016 GMAT Quantitative Official Guide after it publicly releases.<\/p>\n

Problem Solving \u2013 44 questions removed:<\/h3>\n

4, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 23, 25, 28, 30, 32, 37, 43, 45, 74, 75, 77, 84, 92, 99, 104, 106, 109, 111, 115, 120, 122, 123, 128, 132, 134, 138, 139, 141, 143, 144, 163, 165, 166, 167, 174<\/p>\n

Data Sufficiency \u2013 31 questions removed:<\/h3>\n

3, 23, 27, 28, 30, 36, 47, 56, 57, 60, 64, 68, 71, 72, 77, 84, 86, 92, 94, 97, 98, 103, 105, 108, 109, 110, 112, 114, 119, 120, 123<\/p>\n

Key Takeaways<\/h2>\n

Keep in mind that we cannot draw firm conclusions about the GMAC\u2019s intent in making changes to the question composition in the 2016 GMAT Quantitative Official Guide. That said, we can observe certain trends and speculate on what those changes may imply.<\/p>\n

By downgrading 10 Medium Problem Solving questions to Easy while upgrading 23 Medium Data Sufficiency questions to Hard, the GMAC seems to be indicating that it considers Data Sufficiency more challenging<\/strong> than perhaps it did previously. <\/p>\n

Furthermore, given the changes in concepts as discussed above, the GMAC seems to be moving away from questions that are more process-oriented<\/strong> (i.e. solve by following a set procedure) and towards applied questions that require more analytical reasoning<\/strong> to solve. <\/p>\n
