GMAT Training Overview

The Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) is a standardized test specifically designed to assess the skills deemed relevant for success in graduate business and management programs, such as MBA (Master of Business Administration). The GMAT is widely used by business schools around the world as a key criterion for admission.

It's important to note that the GMAT is a computer-adaptive test, meaning that the difficulty of subsequent questions is determined by the accuracy of responses to previous questions. The total GMAT score is reported on a scale of 200 to 800, combining the scores from the Quantitative and Verbal sections. The AWA and IR sections are scored separately. As with any standardized test, candidates should check the official GMAT website or contact the testing center for the most up-to-date information on the GMAT test format and requirements.
