GMAT is
a standardized assessment delivered in English that helps business schools
assess the qualification of applicants for advanced study in business and
management. Schools use the test as one predictor of academic performance
in MBA program or in other graduate management programmes. It
is multiple – choice test for applicants to business schools. This is mandatory
for students who want to pursue a Master degree in Business Administration in
reputed B-Schools all over the world. The test is administered by Graduate
Management Admission Council (GMAC).
The GMAT is
Computer Adaptive Test (CAT). It Consists of Three Main Parts. The
Total Composite Score is Out of 800.
The Analytic Writing Assessment includes the
task to articulate complex ideas, examine claims and accompanying evidence and
to support ideas with relevant reasons and examples.
The Verbal Section includes three types of
multi-choice questions that are Reading Comprehension, Critical Reasoning and
Sentence Correction.
The Quantitative Section includes two types of
multiple-choice questions that are Problem Solving and Data Sufficiency.
The GMAT from June 5th 2012 onwards will
introduce Integrated Reasoning, a new section designed to measure the ability
to evaluate information presented in multiple formats from multiple sources –
skills that are already in use, and skills that are needed to succeed in our
data-rich world. The exam will remain 3 hours, 30 minutes (four hours with
breaks). The Analytical Writing Assessment will be streamlined from two
30-minute essays to one Analysis of an Argument essay. Immediately after the
essay question, the Integrated Reasoning section will start. Test takers will
have optional breaks before and after the Quantitative sections:
