Book a Free ConsultationThe 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.
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.
21 problem-solving questions on arithmetic, algebra, and word problems. No geometry on the Focus Edition. No on-screen calculator is provided.
23 questions split between Reading Comprehension and Critical Reasoning. Sentence Correction has been removed in the Focus Edition.
20 questions across Data Sufficiency, Multi-Source Reasoning, Table Analysis, Graphics Interpretation, and Two-Part Analysis. An on-screen calculator is allowed in this section only.
You may bookmark and revisit up to 3 questions per section and change answers — a major change from earlier GMAT versions. You choose your section order at the test centre or online.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Scores remain valid for 5 years. After that they are still reportable but flagged as expired and rarely accepted by admissions committees.
