The Graduate Management Admission Test is a computer adaptive test designed to assess some analytical, compositional, quantitative, oral, and reading skills in written English for admission to undergraduate management programs such as the MBA program.
This test is used by many schools across the world to measure your aptitude towards management studies. Business school admission authorities look at your GMAT score, along with work experience, academic record, and other supporting documents, when assessing your MBA readiness.
The GMAT® is a standardized test given by the Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC) to applicants seeking admission to business school programs. The GMAT® measures how well students apply critical thinking skills to solve problems under time pressure.
The GMAT® consists of three sections: Analytical Writing Assessment (AWA), Integrated Reasoning (IR), and Quantitative Skills (QS).
Analytical Writing Assessment (AW):
This section tests your ability to analyze information and express yourself clearly in writing. You’ll have 45 minutes to read two short essays and answer questions about them. Your goal is to show that you understand the topic and can communicate effectively.
Integrated Reasoning (IR):
In this section, you’ll take a series of questions based on real-world scenarios. Each question presents a scenario and asks you to choose the best course of action. You may need to make assumptions, weigh different options, and consider both sides of an argument.
Quantitative Skills (QS):
You’ll use a calculator to answer quantitative questions. These questions require basic arithmetic calculations and simple data analysis.
