Frequently Asked Questions About the GMAT What is the GMAT?
The Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) is a standardized assessment test comprised of three sections: analytical writing, quantitative reasoning, and verbal reasoning. The GMAT tests abilities that you have developed over a long period of time; it is not intended to test specific subject areas, nor does it presuppose any prior business coursework. The test takes four and one-half hours, and is computer-adaptive, which means that the difficulty of later questions is based on whether you correctly answered the earlier questions on the exam.
