Introduction
The GMAT is a test of verbal and quantitative abilities for aspirants to Graduate Business schools. It is virtually compulsory for admission into an M.B.A. or an M.B.S. course in Northern America and is catching on in other regions as well.
With a good score in GMAT it becomes easier to obtain admission, teaching assistance-ship and merit-based scholarships.
The GMAT Quantitative section consists of High School math in which Nepali students usually score quite well.
The GMAT Verbal has 3 question types based on critical reasoning, advanced grammar and usage, and reading comprehension.
Previously, the GMAT was administered by ETS, but mow PEARSON VUE has taken over the mantle.
Gmat Test Details
The term ‘Computer Based’ is nothing to be scared of. The computer skills that you will need are minimal.
The term ‘Computer Adaptive’ means that there are three types of questions in the software that administers the test. These types are ‘easy’, ‘medium’ and ‘difficult’. The test always starts of with an easy question and if you get that right it throws a medium level question at you. If you get the medium level question right it will give you a difficult question. For every wrong answer, you go down a rung in the hierarchy. The difficult questions that the software gives you have the highest scores while the easy questions having the lowest score. Thus, getting a lot of difficult questions right will definitely get you a high score.
