There are four sections on the GMAT: Quantitative, Verbal, Integrated Reasoning, and Analytical Writing Assessment.
If you’re looking to set your career up for success, a good score on the GMAT is an absolute must. Of course, I say “good,” but really you should aim to get the absolute best score possible. The GMAT has four sections; quantitative, verbal, integrated reasoning and analytical writing assessment. While each section tests different things, they all work together to give you an overall assessment that accurately reflects your abilities.
You will be given a score for each section, and your overall score will be an average of these scores.
The GMAT exam is scored on a scale of 200 to 800, with two-point increments. The score is based on the number of questions answered correctly and the level of difficulty of the questions.
The GMAT exam consists of four sections: Verbal Reasoning, Quantitative Reasoning, Integrated Reasoning, and Analytical Writing. Each of these sections is scored separately and then combined to give you a total score.
The Verbal Reasoning and Quantitative Reasoning sections are each scored on a scale of 0 to 60, with one-point increments. The Integrated Reasoning section is scored on a scale of 1 to 8, with one-point increments. The Analytical Writing section is scored on a scale of 0 to 6, with half-point increments.
Your score will be based on how well you performed compared to other test-takers.
At the end of the day, your GMAT score is determined by comparing it to all other applicants who took the exam. You'll want to make sure you've done your best so that you can stand out from the crowd - and hopefully get into that business school of your dreams.
