Rely on GMAT scores to help you select the best applicants for your program.
Format:
The GMAT total score is composed of the Verbal and Quantitative sections of the exam.
What it Measures:
The GMAT exam measures the test taker’s ability to assess higher-order reasoning skills: verbal, quantitative, analytical writing and integrated reasoning and has proven validity in predicting success in the first year of graduate management education.
Score Range:
Total GMAT Scores range from 200 to 800. Two-thirds of test takers score between 400 and 600.
How it is Scored:
The Official GMAT Score Report show five scores: Total, Analytical Writing Assessment (AWA), Integrated Reasoning, Verbal and Quantitative within the last five years, the most recent AWA essay responses, and the following background information: country of citizenship, gender, date of birth, telephone number, undergraduate institution, grade point average, major, date of graduation, intended graduate study, and highest level of education attained.
GMAT Test takers are provided with the ability to see their unofficial scores prior to making a decision to accept or cancel those scores. A self-canceled score will appear as a “C” on the official score report, along with all GMAT attempts for the previous five years. Test takers that self-cancel on test day have the opportunity to reinstate those scores within 60 days of the test date.
In cases of repeat testing, the score report will show all of the test taker’s GMAT scores for the past five years. Test takers make print an unofficial score report after they finish the exam, but this does not include the Analytical Writing Assessment (AWA) score and should not be accepted in lieu of an Official Score Report.
Percentile Ranking:
GMAT Total Score percentile rankings are based on the previous three years of GMAT exams taken.
