GMAT

Graduate Management Admission Test is an assessment that assesses the qualifications of applicants for advanced study in business and management schools. The test helps the schools in extrapolating the academic competency in an MBA program or in other graduate management programs.

GMAT measures the basic verbal, mathematical, and analytical writing skills. The test has three main parts:

• Analytical Writing Assessment
• Quantitative section
• Verbal section

The test score report will have scores based on your performance on the multiple-choice Quantitative and Verbal sections and a separate score based on your performance on the Analytical Writing sections. The overall score which is the most important, ranges from 200 to 800 and is calculated based on your performance on the Verbal and Quantitative sections. There will also be Verbal and Quantitative sub-scores, both of which ranges from 0 to 60.
