Test Overview

The Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) is a standardized test used by many business schools as part of the MBA admissions process. Data has shown that GMAT scores can be good predictors of academic success in the first year of MBA programs.

The GMAT tests general, mathematical, verbal and analytical writing skills. It is not a test of specific subject knowledge, nor does it assess business competence. The test contains quantitative and verbal multiple-choice questions, plus two essays.

The GMAT is offered in testing centers around the world, and takes the form of a Computer Adaptive Test (CAT) in most countries.

A good GMAT score will increase your chances of getting into your top choice of MBA program. More than 250,000 people sit the GMAT every year, so prepare thoroughly to beat the competition!

Test Scores

Most people talk about GMAT scores as a number between 200 and 800, but in actual fact you will receive 4 scores, each with a percentile rank:

An overall score, ranging from 200 to 800 (test-taker average = 540)
A Math Section subscore, ranging from 0 to 60
A Verbal Section subscore, ranging from 0 to 60
An Analytical Writing Assessment score, ranging from 0 to 6

Percentile Rank
Each of the above scores is accompanied by a percentile rank, which shows the proportion of test takers who scored lower than you did. For example, a percentile rank of 65 means you scored higher than 65% of all other test takers.

Essay Scores
Each essay is graded individually from 0-6 and is marked by both a human and a computer. The grade is assigned holistically, taking into account all aspects of the essay’s content, grammar, and writing style.
