You can find a lot of information online about the GMAT. I will only write what I thought it was important. Although most of the information required for the math part is basic, I was surprised to notice that time passed and my knowledge about math was fuzzy sometimes and I also need it an update of the English equivalents of the terms used.

Integers = negative or positive numbers. Do not include fractions.
= odd or even.

a=b x q + r (q=quotient r=remainder)
Distinct numbers = cannot be equal
Prime numbers = a positive integer that has exactly 2 different positive divisor (1 and itself). 0 and 1 are not prime numbers
Absolute value of 5 is |5|

Divisibility rules:

• 6 is divisible by 2
• the factors of 20 are 1,2,4,5,10
• 20 is a multiple of 4

Remember:
Most problems at GMAT require more than one step in getting the right answer!
If you are not a native English speaker learn the technical terms!

For GMAT you do not only need to know English, but you need the basic and correct English.

First, some definitions:

• Noun = a word that is used to name a person, place, thing or idea
• Verb = a word that expresses action
• Adjective = a word that modifies a noun
• Adverb = a word that modifies a verb, adjective or adverb
• Preposition = a word that notes the relation of a noun to an action or a thing
• Phrase = a group of words acting as a single part of a speech. A phrase is missing either a subject or a verb or both
• Prepositional phrase = a group of words beginning with a preposition
• Pronoun = a word that takes the place of a noun
• Clause = a group of words that contains a subject and a verb

Pronoun errors that you meet in the GMAT problems can be identified asking the following questions:

• It is completely clear who or what the pronoun is referring to?
• Does the pronoun agree in number with the noun it is referring to?

Common pronouns:

• Singular: I, me, he, him, she, her, you, it, each, another, one, other, such, mine, yours, his, hers, ours, this, either, neither, each, everyone. Everybody, nobody, no one.
• Plural: we, us, they, them, both, these, those.
• Can be singular or plural: some, any, you, who, which, what, that.

Misplaced modifiers

• When a sentence begins with a participial phrase (a phrase that starts with a verb ending in “ing”), that phrase is supposed to modify the noun or pronoun immediately following it.
• Check that the noun is modified comes directly after the modifying phrase.

Parallel construction

If a sentence contains a list of things, or actions or is broken up into two halves, check to make sure the parts of the sentence are parallel.

Again, if your native language is not English, verify your knowledge tenses:

• Present
• Simple Past
• Present Perfect
• Past Perfect
• Future

Subject-verb agreement

• “The number of …” – singular
• “A number of …” – plural
• Singular pronouns: each, everyone, everybody, nobody

Quantity words

• If two items: between, more, better, less.
• If more than two items: among, most, best, least.

• Countable items: fewer, number, many.
• Non-countable items: less, amount, quantity, much.
