Business School: GMAT

Scheduling Exams
| Registering for Exams | Test Structure | Reviewing Scores

The GMAT® exam is a standardized assessment, offered in English, that helps business schools judge qualifications of applicants for advanced study in business and management.

The GMAT (Graduate Management Admission Test) measures basic verbal, mathematical, and analytical writing skills you have developed in your education and work. It does not measure business knowledge or job skills.

You will receive four scores: Verbal, Quantitative, Total, and Analytical Writing Assessment (AWA). Each of these scores is reported on a fixed scale and will appear on your official GMAT score report. Your total score falls within a range of 200–800, and your AWA score within a range of 1–6.

Scheduling Exams

You may register for the test online, by phone, by mail, or by fax. Visit mba.com or call 1-800-717-GMAT (4628) to schedule an appointment or for additional information.
