The Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT) is a standardized exam, delivered in English, which helps business schools assess the qualifications of applicants for advanced study in business and management. The exam is scored out of 800 and it does not require previous knowledge of business subjects. It is offered multiple times annually throughout the United States, as well as internationally. The GMAT includes three subject areas: Analytical Writing Assessment (AWA), Quantitative and Verbal. We strongly encourage all applicants to thoroughly prepare for the test.
