Learn GMAT

Quant, Verbal and Data Insights, taught as skills you can practice daily.

Free to start. Built from a single prompt. No credit card.

The GMAT is a graduate business school admissions test. Its current version, launched as the GMAT Focus Edition, has three sections: Quantitative Reasoning, Verbal Reasoning and Data Insights. Quant focuses on arithmetic and algebra word problems, Verbal on critical reasoning and reading comprehension, and Data Insights on interpreting tables, graphs and multiple sources, including data sufficiency questions. Learnr, which is independent of GMAC, builds you a course on the math and reasoning skills behind each section and lets you practice them in short, focused lessons.

How to learn GMAT, step by step

Start with an official practice exam. GMAC offers free official practice exams through mba.com. Take one under real conditions to see how each section feels, how the timing works, and where your time actually goes.
Rebuild number sense for Quant. Quant covers arithmetic and algebra, not geometry, and no calculator is allowed in that section. Drill fractions, percents, ratios, exponents and number properties until your mental math is quick and dependable.
Learn data sufficiency as its own skill. Data sufficiency asks whether the given statements are enough to answer a question, not what the answer is. Practice judging sufficiency without solving fully, and learn the fixed answer choices so they cost no thought on test day.
Map arguments in critical reasoning. Identify the conclusion, the premises and the gap between them. Strengthen, weaken and assumption questions all hinge on that gap, so practice naming the missing assumption before you read the choices.
Practice reading charts and multi-source sets. Data Insights mixes table analysis, graphics interpretation, two-part analysis and multi-source reasoning, with an on-screen calculator available. Practice pulling exactly the number a question needs instead of studying the whole data set.
Track error types and review daily. Log every miss by question type and cause. Short daily practice, such as Learnr's bite-sized lessons with a streak, keeps your weakest question types in steady rotation.

What you'll learn

Solve arithmetic and algebra word problems quickly and accurately
Break down arguments in critical reasoning questions
Read business and science passages for structure and inference
Answer data sufficiency questions without over-calculating
Interpret tables, graphs and multi-source data

What's inside your GMAT course

A sample path Learnr builds for GMAT. Your real course adapts to your goal and level.

1. How the GMAT is structured
2. Arithmetic, number properties and algebra
3. Word problems: rates, ratios, percents and statistics
4. Critical reasoning and argument structure
5. Reading comprehension
6. Data Insights: data sufficiency, tables, graphs and multi-source reasoning

How long does it take to learn GMAT?

Many test takers prepare over 2 to 4 months at 5 to 10 hours a week, often while working full time. How long you need depends on how recently you did math, your comfort reading dense English, and how much official practice you work through.

What you need before you start

High school arithmetic and algebra, plus strong reading in English. No advanced math or business knowledge is required to start.

Common mistakes to avoid

Calculating full answers on data sufficiency questions. Stop as soon as you know whether each statement is sufficient.
Reading critical reasoning choices before understanding the argument. Find the conclusion and the gap first, or every choice will look plausible.
Studying from outdated materials full of geometry and sentence correction, which the current GMAT no longer tests.

GMAT questions, answered

What changed with the GMAT Focus Edition?

It replaced the older GMAT with three sections: Quantitative Reasoning, Verbal Reasoning and Data Insights. Geometry and sentence correction were removed and the essay was dropped. See mba.com for current details and registration.

Can I use a calculator on the GMAT?

Only in the Data Insights section, which provides an on-screen calculator. Quantitative Reasoning must be done without one, so practice mental math as part of your prep.

Is Learnr affiliated with GMAC?

No. Learnr is an independent learning app. It teaches and drills the underlying math and reasoning, and it makes no promises about scores.
