What is Ability?<\/h2>\n

As you all know, GMAT is an adaptive test that adapts based on your ability level i.e. your ability level governs the difficulty level of questions that the test serves you. \u00a0\u00a0Clearly, the higher your ability, higher is the difficulty level of questions served, and thereby higher is your GMAT score.\u00a0 So, your goal is to increase your abilities to the optimum levels so that you can reach your target goal.<\/p>\n

What impacts ability?<\/h2>\n

Now the next question comes \u2013 what impacts ability.<\/p>\n

Your ability to answer a question of a certain type depends on your understanding of the concepts associated with that question type and your proficiency in applying the process to solve that kind of question \u2013 so just merely knowing the concept is not sufficient.\u00a0 One also needs to know how to apply the concept to solve questions.\u00a0 So, remember \u2013 both the understanding of the concepts<\/u> and the proficiency in application of the concepts<\/u> impact your ability.<\/p>\n

How do I know what my abilities are?<\/h2>\n

Next, you may ask \u2013 so how do I know what my abilities are?<\/p>\n

Various kinds of abilities<\/h3>\n

To answer this question, we must first explain to you the various abilities that exist.\u00a0 Your GMAT score is composed of 2 kinds of abilities on section level – Quantitative Ability and Verbal Ability.\u00a0 So, it is very much possible for a student to have a higher ability in one section vs. the other section.\u00a0 Furthermore, each of the sectional abilities is furthermore classified into sub-sectional abilities.<\/p>\n

  • A student\u2019s quantitative ability is composed of\n
      \n
    • Arithmetic ability<\/li>\n
    • Algebra\/Geometry ability.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
    • A student\u2019s verbal ability is composed of\n
        \n
      • Sentence Correction ability<\/li>\n
      • Critical Reasoning ability<\/li>\n
      • Reading Comprehension ability<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Ability Related Insights from SIGma-X Mocks<\/h3>\n

        Now that you know what the various kinds of abilities are, we will explain to you what you will learn from SIGma-X mocks about your abilities.<\/p>\n

        \"\"<\/p>\n

        SIGma-X mocks provide you your sectional abilities \u2013 As you can see, GMAT score of 680 is composed of two sectional abilities \u2013 Quantitative score of Q49, which corresponds to 74%ile and Verbal score of V34, which corresponds to 71%ile.<\/p>\n

        Next, SIGma-X mocks give you information about your sub-sectional abilities in the quantitative section – Arithmetic and Algebra\/Geometry.<\/p>\n

        \"\"<\/p>\n

        Likewise, SIGma-X mocks give you information about sub-sectional abilities in the verbal section \u2013 SC, CR, and RC abilities.<\/p>\n

        \"\"<\/p>\n

        So, in essence after completing every SIGma-X mock test, you will get information about all the sub-sectional abilities.<\/p>\n

        Note carefully, that you do not get such insights even from Official Mocks.\u00a0 See this video<\/u>\u00a0to read more about the comparison of insights provided by the two mocks \u2013 SIGma-X and Official mocks.<\/p>\n
