About GMAT
The Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) is a Standardized, computer-adaptive test that measures Verbal, Mathematical and Analytical writing skills. GMAT helps business schools in assessing the potential of applicants for advanced study in Business and Management. Nearly 900 management institutes - Most of these being US based - give admission in the MBA program on the basis of GMAT scores. The GMAT test is developed and administered by the US-based Pearson VUE under the direction of the Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC), a non-profit organization of graduate business schools worldwide. For the conduct of the test, Pearson VUE has appointed testing centers in over 100 countries. GMAT scores are by default sent to 5 Business schools of your choice within 20 days after your test.
GMAT Score Format
An official GMAT score report consists of four parts: Verbal Scaled Score (on a scale from 0 to 60); Quantitative Scaled Score (on a scale from 0 to 60), Total Scaled Score (on a scale from 200 to 800), Analytical Writing Assessment (AWA) Score (on a scale from 0 to 6). The total score is a scaled combination of the verbal and quantitative scaled scores, and thus reflects a student's overall performance on the multiple choice sections of the test. The AWA score is independent of and has no impact on the total scaled score. Applicants can access GMAT scores electronically or receive paper reports-they're sent to the test taker and score-report recipients selected by the test taker within three weeks of the test date. The score report will show all of the test taker's GMAT scores for the past five years. Test takers may print an Unofficial Score Report after they finish the exam, but this does not include the AWA score and will not be accepted in lieu of an Official Score Report. The Verbal and Quantitative scores range from 0 to 60. Scores below 9 and above 44 for the Verbal section or below 7 and above 50 for the Quantitative section are rare. Total GMAT scores range from 200 to 800. Two-thirds of test takers score between 400 and 600. The AWA score is an average of the two independent ratings for each section: Analysis of an Issue and the Analysis of an Argument. These average scores can range from 0 to 6 in half point intervals. Writing scores are computed separately from the scores for the multiple-choice sections of the test and have no effect on the Verbal, Quantitative, or Total scores. The GMAT score reports include the following background information: Country of citizenship, Gender, Date of birth, Telephone number, Undergraduate institution, grade point average (GPA), major, and date of graduation, intended graduate study, highest level of education attained.
GMAT Test Format
The GMAT consists of four separately timed sections. The GMAT exam consists of three main parts, the Analytical Writing Assessment, the Quantitative section and the Verbal section. The GMAT tests your fundamental skills and does not require any subject-specific theoretical study. The Quantitative section has two types of questions: Problem Solving and Data Sufficiency. The Verbal Section has three types of questions: Sentence Correction, Critical Reasoning, and Reading Comprehension. There are a total of 78 questions, 37 in Quantitative and 41 in Verbal. These 2 sections have a time limit of 75 minutes each. The Analytical writing section consists of two short essays to be written in 30 minutes each. The first is the Analysis of an Issue, in which you need to analyze the issue presented and explain your views on it. The second essay is Analysis of an Argument, in which a given argument has to be critically analyzed and evaluated. For both the essays, the emphasis is on the "Analytical" part, and not on the "Writing" part. The total test duration is around 4 hours.
