What You Need to Know About GMAT

Detailed Information

What Is the GMAT?

The GMAT is the current business school admission exam administered by the Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC). It consists of three sections: Quantitative Reasoning, Verbal Reasoning and Data Insights. The total test duration is approximately 2 hours and 15 minutes. Unlike the previous GMAT format, the Analytical Writing section has been removed and replaced by the data-analysis-focused Data Insights section.

GMAT scores are reported on a scale of 205 to 805. The exam introduces new features such as navigating between sections and reviewing questions. These features make time management strategy more critical than ever. TestPrep tutors are fully proficient in the new format and have developed dedicated strategies for each section.

Why Choose TestPrep for GMAT Preparation?

TestPrep's GMAT program is designed around MBA admission goals. Lesson times fit around your working hours, with evening and weekend options.

Quick Answers

What is the GMAT and who takes it?

The GMAT (Graduate Management Admission Test) is administered by GMAC for MBA and Master's applications. The new GMAT (2023+) consists of Quantitative Reasoning, Verbal Reasoning, and Data Insights. It is the primary reference for top business schools worldwide.

How is the GMAT scored?

Total range 205-805 in 10-point increments; each section 60-90. Top-20 MBA programs expect 705+; international MBA programs in Türkiye typically set thresholds at 645-685.

How long is the test?

Total 2 hours 15 minutes: Quant 45 min (21 questions), Verbal 45 min (23 questions), Data Insights 45 min (20 questions). Section order is selectable, with one optional 10-minute break. Available at test centers or online.

GMAT vs GRE — which is preferred?

Most MBA programs accept both. Adcoms know GMAT better since it's the traditional B-school reference. Strong Quant favors GMAT; Verbal/writing focus favors GRE. Target schools' median scores should guide your decision.

How long is a GMAT score valid?

Five years. You may take the test up to 5 times in a calendar year and 8 times lifetime, with a 16-day gap between attempts.

Margaux Granger

I knew my target, but I didn't have a realistic routine for GMAT Focus. I went into the exam much calmer than I would have before.

TZ

Tao Zeng

I knew my target, but I didn't have a realistic routine for GMAT Focus. It was an intense period, but it was worth it.

BO

Bora Oh

Breaking Critical Reasoning into smaller pieces worked much better for me. Going back to the lesson recordings helped when I forgot a small step. Separating strategy mistakes from content gaps made progress much quicker. My mock results gradually became more consistent. I wasn't trying to learn new topics at the very last minute. I'm glad I worked with my tutor through this process.

CW

Callum Wakefield

I came back to Verbal Reasoning after a long break and wasn't sure where to begin. I started noticing the reason for a mistake much faster.

AG

Adrien Granger

The class felt relaxed enough to ask questions without overthinking it. Breaking Verbal Reasoning into smaller pieces worked much better for me. I wasn't trying to learn new topics at the very last minute. I'm genuinely thankful to my tutor for being patient.

AC

Ananya Chawla

Balancing GMAT Focus preparation with university and work was harder than I expected. There was no overnight miracle, but the progress was easy to see.
