Understanding the GMAT
What is GMAT?
The GMAT is a computer-adaptive standardized test designed to assess analytical writing, integrated reasoning, quantitative, and verbal skills—all essential for success in graduate business and management programs. Developed by the Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC), this test is recognized and accepted by over 7,000 business and management programs globally.
GMAT Structure
The GMAT exam consists of four main sections:
- Analytical Writing Assessment (AWA)– 30 minutes, 1 essay question
- Integrated Reasoning (IR)– 30 minutes, 12 questions
- Quantitative Reasoning– 62 minutes, 31 questions
- Verbal Reasoning– 65 minutes, 36 questions
Total test time: 3 hours and 7 minutes (excluding breaks)
Scoring
The GMAT uses a scale of 200-800 points for the total score, which is derived from the Quantitative and Verbal sections. The AWA and IR sections are scored separately. At Think Big Global, we help you understand these scores and their significance in your application process.
