The Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) is a standardized exam that is very important for those who are interested in becoming a part of the graduate business community. Its goal is to determine how well a test taker can score in areas of analytical writing, integrated reasoning, quantitation and verbal ability. GMAT is a computer adaptive test, which can be taken at any of the official centers and takes an approximate time of 3.5 hours. More than 7,000 graduate business programs offered at around 2,300 GMAT test centers worldwide admit their candidate’s GMAT scores. The outcome of the test is scored as 6 to 51 on the quantitative and verbal reasoning score and 1 to 8 on the integrated reasoning score and 0 and 6 score is the analysis of writing.
