GMAT
The Graduate Management Admission Test
(GMAT) is a computer Adaptive Test (CAT)
intended to assess certain analytical, writing,
quantitative, verbal, and reading skills in written
English for use in admission to a graduate
management program, such as an MBA. It
requires knowledge of certain specific grammar
and knowledge of certain specific algebra,
geometry, and arithmetic. The GMAT does not
measure business knowledge or skill, nor does it
measure intelligence. According to the test
owning company, the Graduate Management
Admission Council (GMAC), the GMAT assesses
analytical writing and problem-solving abilities,
while also addressing data sufficiency, logic, and
critical reasoning skills that it believes to be vital
to real-world business and management success.

Structure

The GMAT exam consists of four sections: an
analytical writing assessment, an integrated
reasoning section, a quantitative section, and a
verbal section. Test takers have 30 minutes for
the analytical writing assessment and another 30
minutes to work through 12 questions, which
often have multiple parts, on the integrated
reasoning section and are given 75 minutes to
work through 37 questions in the quantitative
section and another 75 minutes to get through 41
questions in the verbal section.

Analytical Writing Assessment (AWA)

The AWA consists of one 30-minute writing task

able to analyze the reasoning behind a given
argument and write a critique of that argument.

Integrated reasoning (IR)

Integrated Reasoning is a section designed to

sources. The skills being tested by the integrated
reasoning section were identified in a survey of
740 management faculty worldwide as important
for today’s incoming students. The IR section
consists of 12 questions (which often consist of
multiple parts themselves) in four different
formats: graphics interpretation, two-part
analysis, table analysis, and multi-source
reasoning.

Quantitative section

The quantitative section of the GMAT seeks to
measure the ability to reason quantitatively, solve
quantitative problems, interpret graphic data, and
analyze and use information given in a problem.
Questions require knowledge of certain algebra,
geometry, and arithmetic. There are two types of
quantitative questions: problem solving and data
