The
total score is 800 and measures performance on the quantitative and
verbal sections only. Performance on the AWA and IR sections do not
contribute to the total score.

Writing Assessment (AWA)
The
Analytical Writing Assessment mainly consists of an argumentative
essay on a topic that is provided. This section of the GMAT is
conducted for 30 minutes.
Quantitative
Reasoning
The
Quantitative Reasoning section focuses on Mathematics. The topics
covered in this section are, Data sufficiency, Data Interpretation
and Statistics, and finally Problem Solving. This section has about
35 questions that have to be solved in 62 minutes.

Some
additional information:
The
Argument Essay portion of the test does not present a choice of
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.
The
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+
out of 800.

test of admission is valid for 5 years from the date of the result
declaration.
