The "Total Score" is composed of the Quantitative and Verbal sections and ranges from 200 to 800.

The GMAT is a computer-adaptive test. The first question may be difficult. The next few questions in each section may be around the 500 level. If the examinee answers correctly, the next questions are harder. If the examinee answers incorrectly, the next questions are easier.

Note that questions left blank hurt the examinee more than questions answered incorrectly. Quantitative and Verbal section raw scores range from 0 to 60.

Analytical Writing Assessment scores range from 0 to 6 and represent the average of the ratings from the two GMAT essays. Note that the essays do not count towards the "Total Score".

GMAT scores are valid for five years from the date the test taker sits for the exam until the date of matriculation. All scores and cancellations in the past 5 years will be on a student's score report.

Data Sufficiency

Data sufficiency is a unique type of math question created especially for the GMAT.

• Each item consists of the questions itself followed by two numbered statements that provide information that might be useful in answering the question.
• The examinee must then determine whether either statement alone is sufficient to answer the question; whether both are needed to answer the question; or whether there is not enough information given to answer the question.
  • (A) If statement 1 alone is sufficient to answer the question, but statement 2 alone is not sufficient.
  • (B) If statement 2 alone is sufficient to answer the question, but statement 1 alone is not sufficient.
  • (C) If both statements together are needed to answer the question, but neither statement alone is sufficient.
  • (D) If either statement by itself is sufficient to answer the question.
  • (E) If not enough facts are given to answer the question.

• Correct expression refers to the grammar and structure of the sentence.
• Effective Expression refers to the clarity and concision used to express the idea.
• Proper Diction refers to the suitability and accuracy of the chosen words in reference to the dictionary meaning of the words and the context in which the words are presented.

Critical Reasoning

Critical Reasoning questions test logical thinking by presenting arguments that the test taker is asked to analyze.

• Questions may ask test takers to draw a conclusion, to identify assumptions, or to recognize strengths or weaknesses in the argument.
• The examinee should select the best answer to the question, that is, an answer that does not require making assumptions that violate common sense standards by being implausible, redundant, irrelevant, or inconsistent.

• The GMAT uses reading passages of approximately 200 to 350 words, covering topics from social sciences, biological sciences, physical sciences, and business.
• Each passage has three or more questions based on its content.
• The questions ask about the main point of the passage, about what the author specifically states, about what can be logically inferred from the passage, and about the author's attitude.

The Analytical Writing Assessment section of the test consists of two essays:

• Analysis of an argument
• Analysis of an issue.

Each essay must be written within 30 minutes and is scored on a scale of 0-6. Note that the essays do not count towards the "Total GMAT Score".

The essay is read by two readers:

• A human reader, who evaluates the quality of the examinee's ideas and his or her ability to organize, develop, and express ideas with relevant support.
• A computer program IntelliMetric, which analyzes creative writing and syntax.

While mastery of the conventions of written English factor into scoring, minor errors are expected, and evaluators are trained to be sensitive to examinees whose first language is not English.
