CHAPTER 1
About the GMAT Exam
A graduate degree in business or management can transform your professional life, opening the door to promotions, new opportunities, and new careers. For better or for worse, which business school you attend depends to some degree upon how well you do on the Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT).

Like the SAT exam, ACT Assessment, and GRE test, the GMAT exam is a standardized test designed to help schools determine how well you might succeed in their graduate program. Of course, the GMAT exam is just one of the tools schools use to assess a candidates knowledge and skills, and it is by no means a definitive measure. But it is an important test, and because your scores can determine your eligibility for certain programs and give you an edge over other candidates, it is important that you do well on the exam.

The GMAT exam is sponsored by the Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC), a nonprofit association of representatives from business schools around the world. Nearly 2,000 business schools use the GMAT exam, which is developed and administered by the Educational Testing Service(ETS), the same organization that develops and administers a number of other standardized tests including the SAT and
TOEFL exams. The majority of people taking the GMAT exam seek to enter MBA programs, but an increasing number of other graduate business and management programs are now offered, and many of these programs also use the GMAT exam to assess the qualifications of applicants.

On the Road to a Graduate Degree:
Although the MBA is still the most popular graduate business degree, a growing number of other graduate-level business and management programs are becoming available. Taking the GMAT exam can help you apply for programs that offer several different graduate degrees, including the following:
Master of Business Administration (MBA)
Master of Science in Management
Master of Public Administration (MPA)
Master of Science in Financial Engineering

An Overview of the GMAT Exam:
Nearly 50 years ago, the GMAC was founded with the goal it maintains today: to develop a standardized assessment tool for business school candidates. Although the GMAT exam has evolved over the years, the three-and-a-half-hour exam still tests candidates in three main areas, measuring analytical writing, verbal, and quantitative skills.

The Analytical Writing Assessment (AWA):
The first part of the GMAT exam, the Analytical Writing Assessment (AWA), is designed to measure your ability to analyze ideas and to write clearly and effectively about those ideas. You will be asked to write two separate essays: one that analyzes an issue and one that analyzes an argument. You will have 30 minutes for each essay.

In the Analysis of an Issue section, you will be presented with a short passage (one paragraph) about an issue, such as whether new technologies create or destroy more jobs or whether education is the most important key to success. You will be asked to take a position on this issue and explain your position. In the Analysis of an Argument section, you will be presented with a short argument (again, just one paragraph) and be asked to critiquethat argument. In this essay, you should not present your own point of view but rather assess the logic of the argument that has been presented.

In both cases, the topics will be general enough for every test taker to write about. Prior knowledge of the subject matter may be helpful, but it is not required. It is more important to show your ability to take and support a position and your ability to analyze the effectiveness of an argument.

The Quantitative Section:
The Quantitative section is the second part of the test and includes 37 multiple-choice questions covering two areas of mathematics: data sufficiency and problem solving. You will have 75 minutes to answer these questions

The problem solving questions will constitute approximately 60% of the exam (22 questions). The problems will test your knowledge of basic math facts and skills covered in high school, including arithmetic, algebra, geometry, word problems, and interpreting charts and graphs. These questions will emphasize your understanding of mathematical concepts, although you will also need to know basic math procedures in order to select the correct answer.

The Verbal Section:
The third and final part of the GMAT exam is the Verbal section. You will have another 75 minutes to answer 41 multiple-choice questions. These questions cover three areas: reading comprehension, critical reasoning, and sentence correction. Approximately one-third of the questions will fall into each category.

The reading comprehension questions will be based on short passages (150 to 350 words) about topics ranging from the social sciences to the physical and biological sciences to business, the arts, and humanities. You may be asked about the main idea of the passage, the authors support for that main idea, argumentative strategies, specific facts and details in the text, and inferences that can be drawn from the passage. You can expect the passages to be rather sophisticated, much like the reading material you will be exposed to in business school.

GMAT Exam Facts:
Over 1,700 schools/programs use GMAT scores in the admissions process.
The first GMAT exam was developed and administered nearly 50 years ago.
In 2002, over 150,000 people took the GMAT exam in the United States.
In 2002, over 75,000 people took the GMAT exam in locations outside the United States.
Nearly 7% more GMAT exams were given in 2002 than in 2001 in the United States.
Over 4% more GMAT exams were given elsewhere in the world in 2002 than in 2001.
Approximately 20% of people who take the GMAT exam take it more than once. Most repeat testers take the test two or three times.

What the GMAT Exam Is and Is Not:
Like all standardized tests, the GMAT exam is just one measure of your potential success in a graduate business or management program. A strong correlation can be made between high performance on the GMAT exam and success in the first year of business school. However, the exam is designed to measure a targeted set of knowledge and skills, and does not take into account other factors that are essential to academic success.
The GMAT exam is designed to measure the following:

Your ability to take a position on an issue and support it
Your ability to critique an argument
Your ability to organize ideas and convey them clearly in writing
Your ability to express your ideas in logical, correct, and effective sentences
Your ability to conduct basic mathematical operations
Your ability to determine what data is necessary to solve problems, especially those you might encounter in real business situations
How well you understand what you read
Your ability to identify the logic and assumptions behind an argument
Your knowledge of techniques and strategies for effective writing
Your knowledge of the conventions of standard written English
