GMAT ???
The Graduate Management Admissions Test is the standardized exam used by graduate business schools for admissions decisions. It is designed and produced by the Educational Testing Service (ETS) and administered through the Graduate Management Admissions Council (GMAC).
It measures ???
GMAC claims the GMAT can measure basic analytical, quantitative and reasoning abilities developed over time. However, according to the GMAC web site, the GMAT does not measure: “every discipline-related skill necessary for academic work, nor does it measure subjective factors important to academic and career success, such as motivation, creativity, and interpersonal skills.” It continues, “GMAT scores cannot be used to estimate potential for success in a career, because many factors other than basic verbal and mathematical abilities influence work performance.”
Exam duration ???
The GMAT requires three hours and thirty minutes. Two and half hours (75 minutes each for the verbal and quantitative sections) are for the multiple-choice items and one hour (30 minutes each for the two essays) for the AWA. Two breaks (five minutes each) are optional.
GMAT consists of
1. Analytical Writing Assessment section (AWA)
2. Quantitative section, and
3. Verbal section

GMAT SCORE AND GRADING ???
The Verbal and Quantitative sections are each scored on a scale of 0-60. A Total score is calculated by adding Verbal and Quantitative scores then converting this number to a 200-800 point scale. The Analytical Writing Assessment (AWA) is scored on a 1-6 scale. This section, in which students have an opportunity to display creative, innovative and concise writing skills, is graded by two “evaluators,” one of which is a computer.
