GMAT Overview

The Graduate Management Admission Test, or GMAT, is a standardized test used by many business schools as part of the MBA admissions process.

The GMAT is not a test of specific subject knowledge, nor does it assess business competence. It tests general, mathematical, verbal and analytical writing skills. The GMAT contains quantitative and verbal multiple-choice questions, plus two essays. Data has shown that GMAT scores can be good predictors of academic success in the first year of MBA programs.

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 be aware of the intense competition, and prepare thoroughly.

GMAT Scores

A good GMAT score can greatly increase your chances of getting into the MBA program of your choice.

Most people talk about GMAT scores as a number between 200 and 800, but in 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 70 means you scored higher than 70% of all other test takers.

AWA Scores

Each essay on the Analytical Writing Assessment 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.
