gmat-gerontoudiThe GMAT (Graduate Management Aptitude Test) is a standardized computer adaptive test that measures your aptitude (logical and critical) to successfully take up a graduate business course (MBA) in the USA and in other universities around the world. It is conducted by GMAC.

The computer adaptive format on the GMAT chooses each question based on your performance on the previous question(s), meaning you must answer each question in order, and you cannot skip questions or go back to prior questions.

If you have very strong math skills, but feel that your English skills (particularly vocabulary) are weaker, consider taking the GMAT.

In GMAT you take an overall grade on a scale from 200-800 for the Verbal and the Quant section, an independent grade for the AWA on a scale from 0-6, and another grade for IR on a scale from 1-8.

How much time do I have to spend studying for the GMAT?

It depends on the target score. It should be on a daily basis (7 days a week) – a minimum of 2-3 hours per day.

Is educated guessing necessary/helpful/advised?

Yes, given the time constraints. This approach is absolutely necessary when it comes to Sentence Correction questions where you have to work each answer under a minute.

What is a good target score for the GMAT?

Typically, you should try to score 20 to 50 points higher than the minimum requirement of the university or the average score of the previous year.

What is the best way to manage time during the GMAT Quant session?

You should be able to complete at least 10 questions every 20 minutes on average.

Do I need to take the IR and AWA section?

Only if it is required by the universities of application.

Is it important to practice on a simulation in the lab ?

It is very important that the computer simulation we have made it is based on a wide choice of exercises, as the simulations made by big publishing firms vary in difficulty from the real test.

Which is the percentile rank?

See what your Percentile Rank means

Which is the duration of the examination?

Total time is 3.5 hours. By excluding AWA and IR which are optional (but very important especially for the Ivy League universities in both US and Europe), the examination time is 2.5 hours.

What is the IR section and evaluation ?

IR includes 12 questions with 1 or 2 sub-questions. You will be graded randomly in 8 of them. Also, for a question to count in the total score, you have to answer right ALL the sub-questions. The grading scale is from 1 to 8.

IR evaluates the test taker’s ability to:

  • Synthesize information presented in graphics, text, and numbers
  • Evaluate relevant information from different sources
  • Organize information to see relationships and to solve multiple, interrelated problems
  • Combine and manipulate information to solve complex problems that depend on information from one or more sources

When is the best time to take the GMAT ?

You should take the GMAT as early as possible before the graduate school application deadlines. Some universities may also accept pending scores; so that gives you some extra time to prepare.

GMAT Scheduling Fee: 275€+VAT, Online 300€+VAT, Enhanced Report 26€ (physical exam only)

Where is the GMAT given ?

The test is given at the Pearson Professional Centers, Tower B Building 2 – 4 Mesogion Ave, Ampelokipi, Athens (examination 2 times per week)

  • You will be given 2 minutes after the end of the test to decide whether to keep your score or not.
  • It is important to have decided on the range of scores you are prepared to keep, beforehand.
  • It will be possible to reinstate a score you have cancelled, for a $50 fee.

When can I see the results?

You can see the results for Quant and Verbal by the time you finish the examination, the AWA and IR grading is ready after 15 days when, they are sent complete to the universities of your choice.

How many times can I be examined and which is the period that the results are valid ?

The results are valid for 5 years and you can be examined one time every 16 days and at maximum 5 times a year, 8 times lifetime.

A Quantitative Score on a scale of 0 to 60.

A Verbal Score on a scale of 0 to 60.

An Analytical Writing score reported on a 1 to 6 score scale.

An Integrated Reasoning Score reported on a 1 to 8 scale.
