Graduate Management Admission Test
About GMAT
The Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) has been the flagship global business school entrance exam for more than 50 years. GMAC, the test makers, have specifically designed the new GMAT Focus Edition to target the current-generation skills that are most relevant to success in graduate management programs.
Business schools use your GMAT scores in conjunction with a host of other details, including your academic record in undergrad, your essays, and your work experience and recommendations, to assess your readiness for the advanced quantitative and analytical work that will be required in your program.
The GMAT is primarily a test of your analytical and quantitative reasoning skills, tested in a time-limited format. Basically, they want to know how well you think strategically and logically, including quantitative / data-based topics.
