In order to be accepted into a graduate management or business school, most individuals will need to take the Graduate Management Admission Test. This test has been developed by the Graduate Management Admission Council to provide a consistent measure of the academic skill of prospective students. The GMAT test assesses skills that have been developed over a long period of time, rather than specific knowledge in business or other areas. The GMAT test has three sections: Analytical Writing, Quantitative, and Verbal.
The candidate may opt to take a ten-minute break in between sections. In the Analytical Writing Assessment, the candidate will complete two 30-minute essays-- an analysis of an issue and an analysis of an argument. The Quantitative section consists of 37 multiple-choice questions which must be completed in 75 minutes. These questions are either problem-solving or data sufficiency questions. The verbal section consists of 41 multiple-choice which must be completed in 75 minutes. These questions will either be reading comprehension, critical reasoning, or sentence correction questions. The test-taker will receive an unofficial score report immediately after finishing the exam. Later, an official copy of the scores will be sent to the test-taker and to the relevant institutions.
The GMAT test score report will contain four scores: verbal, quantitative, total, and analytical writing assessment. The verbal and quantitative scores will range from 0 to 60, and the total score will range from 200 to 800. The analytical writing assessment score will be an average of the scores assigned to the analyses of issue and argument; each short essay will be scored by two judges on a scale of 1 to 6, and these scores will be averaged. The GMAT test is administered by the Graduate Management Admission Council at locations around the country; to register, visit the GMAC website.
