Why Take The GMAT?

Why Take the GMAT?

The Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) has served as the premier international business school entrance examination for over fifty years. The Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC), which administers the exam, has developed the new GMAT Focus Edition to assess contemporary skills considered most critical for success in graduate management education.

 

Business schools evaluate GMAT scores alongside other application materials—such as undergraduate academic records, essays, professional experience, and recommendations—to determine a candidate’s preparation for the advanced quantitative and analytical coursework required in their programs.

 

While candidates are not expected to possess mastery of advanced material prior to enrollment, exams like the GMAT help institutions gauge whether applicants have the foundational competencies necessary for success in rigorous graduate management studies.

Exam Features

The GMAT gives you control of your testing experience with test taker-friendly features and flexible score sending options.

 

Question Review & Edit

The Question Review & Edit tool gives you more control over the answers to your questions by allowing you to edit responses later in each section. With this tool, you can spend less time on questions you are unsure about, knowing you can go back to these responses and update them. Here is how it works:

 

  • As you move through a section, you can bookmark questions that you would like to review later.
  • When you have answered all questions in a section, you will proceed to the Question Review & Edit screen for that section. Note: If there is no time remaining in the section, you will NOT proceed to the Question Review & Edit screen and you will automatically be moved to your optional break screen or the next section (if you have already taken your optional break).
  • Each Question Review & Edit screen includes a numbered list of the questions in that section and indicates the questions you bookmarked.
  • Clicking a question number will take you to that specific question.
  • You can review as many questions as you would like and can edit up to three (3) answers.

Select Section Order

You can answer the three sections in any order, giving you a more personalized testing experience. You can also take your optional 10-minute break whenever you choose: after the first section, or after the second. This means you can adapt the exam to exactly how you’ve prepared for it, giving you more opportunities to perform at your best.

 

Flexible Score Sending

You can select which schools you want to receive your free score reports after you’ve taken the exam, knowing exactly how you performed. This means you can focus on taking the test without worrying about your score going to schools yet. 

 

Detailed Results Delivered Fast

Within 3-5 days* of completing the exam, you will receive a detailed Official Score Report that provides deep insights into your performance across the exam, including (but not limited to):

  • Performance by Section
  • Performance by Program & School
  • Performance by Content Domain (subject area), Question Type, and Skills
  • Time Management

What does the exam cover?

 

Quantitative Reasoning:

This section measures your algebraic and arithmetic foundational knowledge and how you apply this knowledge to solve problems. It is composed of 21 Problem Solving questions.

These types of questions require some knowledge of arithmetic and elementary algebra. Answering these questions correctly relies on logic and analytical skills, not the underlying math skills. You cannot use a calculator while working on this section.

Verbal Reasoning

This section measures your ability to read and comprehend written material and to reason and evaluate arguments. It is composed of 23 Reading Comprehension and Critical Reasoning questions.

 

Reading Comprehension questions measure your ability to understand words and statements, understand logical relationships between significant points, draw inferences, and follow the development of quantitative concepts. Specifically, the following reading skills will be tested: main idea, supporting idea, inference, application, logical structure, and style.

Critical Reasoning questions measure your ability to make arguments, evaluate arguments, and formulate or evaluate a plan of action. Critical Reasoning questions are based on a short reading passage, usually fewer than 100 words. Typically, the short text comes with a question that asks you which of the five answer options strengthens or weakens an argument, tells why the argument is flawed, or strongly supports or damages the argument. You will not need specialized knowledge of the subject matter to answer the questions.

 

Data Insights

The Data Insights section measures candidates’ ability to analyze and interpret data and apply it to real-world business scenarios. It also measures digital and data literacy—one of the most relevant and in-demand skills in business today.  

 

It is composed of 20 questions that ask you to assess how multiple sources and types of information – including graphic, numeric, and verbal – relate to one another and can be leveraged to make informed decisions. Questions may require math, data analysis, verbal reasoning, or all three. You can use an on-screen calculator while working on this section.

The question types you’ll find on this section are:

 

Data Sufficiency: 

Measures your ability to analyze a quantitative problem, recognize which data is relevant, and determine at what point there is enough data to solve the problem.

 

Multi-Source Reasoning:

Measures your ability to examine data from multiple sources including text passages, tables, graphics, or some combination of the three—and to analyze each source of data carefully to answer multiple questions. Some questions will require you to recognize discrepancies among different sources of data, while others will ask you to draw inferences, or require you to determine whether data is relevant.

 

Table Analysis: Measures your ability to sort and analyze a table of data, similar to a spreadsheet, in order to determine what information is relevant or meets certain conditions.

 

Graphics Interpretation: Measures your ability to interpret the information presented in a graph or other graphical image (scatter plot, x/y graph, bar chart, pie chart, or statistical curve distribution) to discern relationships and make inferences.

 

Two-Part Analysis: Measures your ability to solve complex problems. They could be quantitative, verbal, or some combination of both. The format is intentionally versatile to cover a wide range of content. Your ability to evaluate trade-offs, solve simultaneous equations, and discern relationships between two entities is measured.
