About the GMAT

The Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) is owned and developed by the Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC). The current version — the GMAT Focus Edition — is the only one being offered worldwide. It is a computer-adaptive test that benchmarks your readiness for graduate business education by measuring quantitative, verbal, and data literacy skills.

Where GMAT is used

  • MBA programmes — full-time, part-time, executive, and online MBAs across the US, Europe, India, and Asia.
  • Master's in Management, Finance, Analytics, and Marketing — most top European and global programmes accept (or prefer) the GMAT.
  • Doctoral business programmes — PhD and DBA admissions at many leading schools.
  • Scholarships and fellowships — competitive scores can unlock merit-based aid.

What our GMAT programme includes

  • Diagnostic Focus Edition mock to set a baseline and target sectional split
  • Concept refreshers in arithmetic, algebra, word problems, and number properties
  • Critical Reasoning and Reading Comprehension frameworks for Verbal
  • Data Insights drills covering Data Sufficiency, Multi-Source, Tables, Graphs, and Two-Part Analysis
  • Adaptive practice that mimics the live test's bookmark and review feature
  • Full-length, timed mock tests with section-level and question-level analytics
  • Application support — section-score strategy for your target schools

Who it's for

Working professionals and final-year students applying to MBA or business master's programmes, executives preparing for EMBA admissions, and PhD candidates in management or finance.

How GMAT Focus Edition is scored

Each section is scored on a 60–90 scale in 1-point increments. The three sectional scores combine to form a total score from 205 to 805. Unlike the legacy GMAT, all three sections (Quant, Verbal, and Data Insights) carry equal weight toward the total — Data Insights is no longer a separate "non-counted" score.

Score percentiles

  • 705+ — competitive for top-10 global MBA programmes (Harvard, Stanford, Wharton, INSEAD, LBS).
  • 655–705 — strong for top-30 schools and most M7-class scholarship contention.
  • 605–655 — solid for top-50 and many Indian-Tier-1 programmes (IIM, ISB).
  • 555–605 — competitive for many regional and online MBAs.

GMAT or GRE — which to take?

Most business schools accept either, with no preference stated. Choose GMAT if you are MBA-only, want a clearer business-school signal, or are stronger at structured logic. Choose GRE if you are also applying to non-MBA master's programmes, or if your maths style is closer to high-school algebra and geometry.

FAQs

Common GMAT questions

How many times can I take the GMAT?

Up to 5 times in any rolling 12-month period and 8 times lifetime, across both test centre and online modes. You must wait 16 days between attempts.

Test centre or online?

Both modes deliver an identical, equally accepted score. Choose the test centre if you prefer a structured environment, or online if a quiet, distraction-free room at home suits you better.

How long are GMAT scores valid?

Scores remain valid for 5 years. After that they are still reportable but flagged as expired and rarely accepted by admissions committees.

Can I cancel a bad score?

Yes — you can cancel at the end of the test for free, or within 72 hours after. Cancelled scores never appear on reports sent to schools.
