The GMAT includes one Verbal section.

Here are the key features of this exam section:

Time limit: 75 minutes
Exam section number: Section 4 (the last of four exam sections)
Number of questions: 41 available questions (just under 2 minutes per question, on average)
Basic format: All questions are multiple choice (five choices)
During the GMAT Verbal section you'll encounter three basic question types, or formats: Sentence
Correction, Critical Reasoning, and Reading Comprehension. Questions are intermingled rather than grouped
separately by question type, and there's no set pattern or sequence.
Sentence Correction (14-15 questions)
This question type is designed to gauge you command of the English language and the conventions of
standard written English, including grammar, syntax (sentence structure) and diction but not punctuation
or spelling. For each question your task is to determine which among five versions of a sentence is the best
example of proper grammar and effective expression.
Critical Reasoning (14-15 questions)
These questions are designed to gauge your ability to understand, critique, and draw reasonable conclusions
from arguments. Each argument is presented as a brief one-paragraph passage.
Reading Comprehension (12-13 questions)
These questions are designed to measure your ability to read carefully and accurately, to determine the
relationships among the various parts of a reading passage, and to draw reasonable inferences from the
information in the passage.
Reading-Comprehension questions are presented in four discrete sets. Each set includes 3-4 questions. All
questions in a set pertain to the same passage. Each passage is 150-350 words in length. GMAT reading
passages are drawn from business-related fields as well as from other academic disciplines: the humanities,
the social sciences, and the physical and biological sciences.
