The Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT) is an important part of the business school application process. The GMAT is a multiple-choice, computer-based and computer-adaptive standardized exam that is often required for admission to graduate business programs (MBA) globally.
The GMAT exam is developed and administered by GMAT Test Maker to provide business schools with common measures of applicants’ preparedness for graduate-level academic work. Business school admission committees look at your GMAT score, along with work experience, academic record, and supporting materials, to assess your readiness for the rigors of an MBA program.
There are four sections of GMAT exams: Analytical Writing Assessment, Integrated Reasoning, Quantitative Reasoningand Verbal Reasoning. In total, the test takes just under three and a half (3 hours 30 minutes) hours to complete, including two optional breaks.
The Analytical Writing Assessment measures your ability to think critically and to communicate your ideas.
The Integrated Reasoning measures your ability to analyze data and evaluate information presented in multiple formats.
The Quantitative Reasoning measures your ability to analyze data and draw conclusions using reasoning skills.
The Verbal Reasoning measures your ability to read and understand written material, to evaluate arguments and to correct written material to conform to standard written English.
