essay on a topic that is provided. This section of the GMAT is
conducted for 30 minutes.

additional information:

topics. One topic will be presented. The student is advised to always
argue and disagree with the view that the essay presents.
Multi-Source
Reasoning questions have information tabs that are presented
alongside the section. Test takers can click on these tabs and
examine the information, which may be a combination of text, charts,
and tables to answer either multiple-choice or opposite-answer
questions.
Two-Part
Analysis questions involve two components for a solution. Possible
answers are given in a table format with a column for each component
and rows with possible options. Test takers have to choose one
response per column.
The
GMAT is a Computer Adaptive Test, which means that with each correct
answer, the test becomes tougher or more advanced in level of
difficulty.

GMAT Scoring Scale ranges from 200 to 800, with the latter being the
highest. The AWA is calculated on a scale of 6. The Integrated
Reasoning is calculated on a scale of 8. A good GMAt score is 650+
