The Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT) is a standardized test used by many business schools around the world to assess a student’s potential for graduate-level study in business and management. The GMAT measures a student’s analytical writing, quantitative reasoning, and verbal reasoning skills, and provides an overall score that is used as one of several factors in admissions decisions.

The GMAT is a computer-adaptive test, meaning that the difficulty level of questions adjusts based on a student’s responses. The test consists of four sections: Analytical Writing Assessment, Integrated Reasoning, Quantitative, and Verbal. The total test time is approximately three and a half hours.

The GMAT is designed to test a student’s ability to think critically, analyze and solve complex problems, and effectively communicate their ideas. Preparation for the GMAT can include studying the format and content of the test, practicing with official test preparation materials, and enrolling in online courses or private tutoring.
