GMAT*, GMAT Exam
Exam Description:
The GMAT covers regular math problem
solving, reading comprehension,
grammar-related questions (sentence
completion), and logic questions
(critical reasoning). The total
score can range from 200 to 800
points. Verbal and math are both
graded on a 0 to 60 point scale, and
the writing assessment score is
reported on a 1 to 6 point scale.
You will have two 30 minute essays
to be written on the computer, a 75
minute 37-question, math section,
and a 75 minute 41-question verbal
section.
The Graduate Management Admissions
Test is created and administered by
the Educational Testing Service (ETS).
Admissions officers use the GMAT to
measure academic ability. In fact,
ETS data has shown that GMAT scores
are consistently good, though
imperfect, predictors of academic
success in the first year of
business school.
GMAT scores are also used by
admissions committees as a useful
guide in comparing the credentials
of candidates from widely varying
backgrounds. The exam itself
measures general verbal,
mathematical, and analytical writing
skills. It does not test business
competence nor specific subject
knowledge.
