Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT)

Graduate Management Admission Test aka GMAT is an exam (administered by ETS) designed to evaluate how candidates will perform academically in Masters in Business Administration aka MBA programs.

GMAT is often times referred to as the "GMAT CAT"; the acronym CAT stands for "Computer Adaptive Test." The GMAT is administered only on a computer, except in certain locations where the test is referred to as the "paper-based" GMAT.

GMAT scores are used by graduate business schools to make admission decisions. About two-thirds of the 1,300+ graduate business schools around the world require GMAT scores for admission. Schools that do not require GMAT scores nevertheless welcome GMAT scores to help access an applicant’s qualifications.

GMAT consists of three sections
- Analytical Writing Assessment
- Quantitative Ability
- Verbal Ability
