GMAT

When it comes to your career advancement and professional growth, there is no comparison. The GMAT exam positions you for success in the classroom and in your career.

GMAT is among other things, an endurance test. The GMAT exam measures higher-order reasoning skills. You’ll need basic English-language and math skills. However, the test measures your ability to reason with these skills. All sections of the test, including the AWA and Integrated Reasoning sections, involve reasoning. “Higher-order” reasoning skills involve complex judgments and include critical thinking, analysis, and problem-solving.

3 Sections
  • Math and Verbal Questions

    — Measures your ability to analyze and evaluate written material and synthesize information obtained from it, analyze relationships among component parts of sentences and recognize relationships among words and concepts.

  • Integrated reasoning

    — Measures problem-solving ability, focusing on basic concepts of arithmetic, algebra, geometry and data analysis

  • Analytical Writing Assessment

    — Measures critical thinking and analytical writing skills, specifically your ability to articulate and support complex ideas clearly and effectively
