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 grammar and knowledge of certain 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. It can be taken up to five times a year. Each
attempt must be at least 16 days apart.
GMAT is a registered trademark of the Graduate Management Admission
Council. More than 5,900 programs offered by more than 2,100 universities and
institutions use the GMAT exam as part of the selection criteria for their
programs. Business schools use the test as a criterion for
admission into a wide range of graduate management programs, including MBA, Master
of Accountancy, and Master of
Finance programs. The GMAT exam
is administered in standardized test centers in 112 countries around the world.
According to a survey conducted by Kaplan Test Prep, the GMAT is still the
number one choice for MBA aspirants despite the increasing acceptability of GRE scores. According to GMAC, it has continually
performed validity studies to statistically verify that the exam predicts
success in business school programs.
