The Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) is unlike any test you’ve ever taken in your academic career. The GMAT exam is a computer-adaptive test designed to provide a common yardstick by which business school admissions committees can measure applicants and their ability to succeed in their MBA programs.

The GMAT test consists of four sections, and you’ll receive a separate score for each. The Quantitative and Verbal sections contribute to the most important score, called the Total Score, which is on a range from 200 to 800.
