About the GMAT

The Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) is a widely recognised, computer-based standardised assessment utilised by over 7,700 business school programs across more than 2,400 institutions globally as part of their admissions process. Developed in close partnership with graduate management faculty, the GMAT is trusted by business schools as a reliable indicator of a candidate’s potential for success in their programs.

This test is specifically crafted to evaluate skills that are crucial for business and management studies. It measures critical reasoning, problem-solving capabilities, and essential skills in data sufficiency, logic, and analysis, all of which are key to thriving in the competitive landscape of business and management.

GMAT Test Dates

The GMAT, unlike many standardized tests, can be taken at any time during the year, as it is offered year-round at various locations around the world. When selecting your exam date, it’s important to consider the application deadlines of the programs you are interested in and ensure you have sufficient time to prepare effectively for the GMAT. Remarkably, our students in 2019 dedicated an average of 4.5 months to GMAT preparation, compared to an average of only 3 months back in 2013. This increase in preparation time is mainly due to the continual rise in score expectations over the years.

Preparation time varies among students, depending largely on their current performance level and familiarity with the GMAT. For an average candidate, we outline an ideal preparation timeline in this Best GMAT Preparation Timeline.

GMAT Score Guide

NOTICE:

Starting July 2024, the GMAT exam consists of three sections: Quantitative Reasoning, Verbal Reasoning, and Data Insights.

  • The total length of the GMAT is 2 hours and 15 minutes, with 64 questions in total and no writing assessment. You can have an optional 10-minute break.
  • The new total GMAT score (based on all three sections) ranges from 205 to 805. However, most candidates typically score between 425 and 715. Achieving a score above 715 places you in the 99th percentile.
  • All questions will be multiple choice. All three sections have a score range from 6 to 90, with a score interval of 1. The Total Score has an interval of 10.

It’s important to be aware that the new GMAT has removed the Analytical Writing Assessment. As a result, certain institutions, including Harvard Business School and MIT Sloan, may ask for an extra official writing assessment. If your GMAT 10th Edition scores remain valid when you submit your application, you can meet this requirement. Otherwise, you may need to complete the GMAC Business Writing Assessment, depending on the specific requirements set by the admissions committees of your chosen schools or programs.

Testimonials

The GMAT course was time-efficient, to the point, and extremely effective. Just two weeks of working with your unique GMAT material snagged me a 770. The extremely flexible schedule was absolutely perfect for busy and time stretched applicants.The help in the Personal Statement was also exemplary. The fact that there was more than 1 consultant looking at it made the quality of the Personal statement much higher than it had been initially. Overall, I was very happy with how easy it was to get along with Sooyeon, which greatly helped my application and skills. Sooyeon also utilizing the concept of ‘homework’, where she gave me stuff to do also made me less lost and ensured that I was able to keep a track of what I was doing and ensure that I would meet deadlines.

Excellent GMAT preparation course and admissions guidance. The GMAT course was well structured and was taught by very knowledgeable and patient coaches. Admissions guidance was also delivered superbly - the expert advice regarding strategy and content curation was relevant, useful and very time-efficient.

Leonard

Prep Zone trainers were very thorough in covering all facets of verbal and after a while, I came to realise that there was a pattern to the way the GMAT asked their questions. This gave me a lot of confidence going into the test and sometimes, that’s all you need. Prep Zone trainers also gave me ‘700’ level questions when they found out that I was aiming for a high score. While they were focussing on the tough questions, they did not forget to ensure I knew the basics as well. I was taught many tricks and shortcuts and this definitely saved me much time during the test. It was truly a joy learning from the trainers above and I most definitely do not regret enrolling with Prep Zone.

M.W.

The trainers painstakingly explained each and every question i had difficulty with. At the end of the course, my Verbal score increased from the 96th to the 99th percentile, and my Quant score from the 69th to the 77th percentile in only six individual hours!
