The Graduate Management Admission Test or the GMAT test is a standardized test for admission to the graduate management schools all over the world. More than 900 management institutes, most of which are in the US, require the GMAT score of the applicants. Premiere business schools that are spread across the globe rely on the GMAT score to determine the potential of the applicants to study advanced business management courses. The GMAT test aims to judge the fundamental skills of an applicant and does not require any subject specific theoretical study.

The GMAT test is developed and administered by the US-based "Educational Testing Service" or the ETS, under the direction of the GMAC. Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC) is a non-profit organization of graduate business schools worldwide. ETS sets the questions for the test, conducts the test, and sends each examinee the score report. For conducting the test ETS appoints testing agencies as franchisee of ETS at different countries. For example in India Prometric Testing Services Pvt. Ltd. is the testing agency. This agency is appointed by ETS and conducts the test at 9 centres in India.

The GMAT test is distinctively different from all other examination that one goes through at the school or college level. First of all, the test does not have a conventional question paper or answer script and does not require the test takers to carry pen or pencil, as the test is entirely computer based. The test does not give the chance to leave a question unanswered unless of course the candidate has run out of time. In GMAT, each test taker gets a different set of questions.

The GMAT test has two different parts. The first part is the essay writing part known as the Analytical Writing Assessment (AWA). The second part consists of two multiple-choice sections of quantitative and verbal questions.

  • For the Analytical Writing Assessment (AWA) section the test takers have to write two essays. For the first essay the test takers have to analyze an argument and for the second essay they have to analyze an issue. Each essay must be written within 30 minutes. As far as the scoring is concerned, a computer program that analyzes creative writing and syntax evaluates the essay. Then a human reader evaluates the overall impact of the essay. [More]

  • In the quantitative section, the test takers have to answer multiple choice type problem solving and data sufficiency questions. The verbal section consists of reading comprehension, sentence correction and critical reasoning. [Know More]
