Broad question for GMAT

[ajtyeh]

For all shapes/figures that do NOT state "drawn to scale" Should i always assume that it is not drawn to scale? or can i use the corner of a piece of paper to see if an angle is 90 degrees or something like that.

I guess more simply put: i'm practicing on a kaplan gmat book, and i dont think any of the practice questions do not say "drawn to scale" but they look like they are drawn to scale.

How does the actual GMAT test approach this issue?

I have not taken the GMAT but on any standardized test I would never assume it was drawn to scale unless it explicitly stated it was. Chances are all the info is there to solve whatever it is without resorting to measurements.

That would be a pretty funny sight to see you place your paper on the monitor to start measuring angles...

But anyways, I haven't seen a GMAT question that wants you to take the drawing as "to scale".

Dunno if this helps.
