GMAT* Test

The Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) is a standardized test that's used to predict a college graduate's likelihood of succeeding in graduate schools of business. While not all business schools require candidates to take the GMAT test, the vast majority do. Scores range between 200 and 800 on the GMAT test, and everything else being equal, a higher score naturally improves your chances of gaining admission to the business school of your choice. It's a timed test, which you can take just about any month of the year, which consists of three parts.

The first part is Analytical Writing GMAT test section.. You'll have one hour to complete two writing assignments-in the first one, you'll analyze an issue that's presented. In the second, you'll analyze a selected argument. The second part is Quantitative, which lasts 75 minutes and consists of 37 multiple questions concerning problem solving and data sufficiency. Finally there's the Verbal section, which also is timed at 75 minutes, and tests your skills at critical reasoning and reading comprehension of complex passages. Although you won't receive your official scores for about three weeks, which you can receive online or in the mail, you can view your unofficial scores for the Verbal and Quantitative portions before you leave the testing facility.

The GMAT test is a fairly difficult test, and should not be taken lightly. Because so much is riding on a good score, you'll want to start preparing long before you actually take the test.
