GMAT
GMAT stands for Graduate Management Admission Test. It is a standardized aptitude test with a pre-defined syllabus and is required for admission to many of the world’s leading Business Schools.
The GMAT score is generally accepted as one of the most valid and reliable testing schemes in graduate business schools. The exam is designed to measure the skills students require to succeed in the challenging curriculum. Being a computer-adaptive exam, it is one that assesses the student’s verbal, quantitative and analytical writing skills rather than a handwritten test. Being computer-based, the GMAT exam can determine the student’s ability by selecting questions based on previous answers. As the student progresses with the exam, the difficulty of questions alters in accordance with the number of correct or incorrect answers given.

The Indoz Academy 10 key insights into the GMAT:
- As the student progresses with the exam, the difficulty of questions alters in accordance with the number of correct or incorrect answers given.
- The GMAT scores rely on the number of questions answered correctly and the difficulty level of those questions.
- The first question in the multiple-choice section has an ‘average level’. If a student answers it correctly, the subsequent ones become more difficult. On the contrary, if the question is answered incorrectly, subsequent questions will become easier. The trend will follow until a question is answered correctly.
- The student cannot skip or return to a previous question, or change an answer.
- The student must finish the entire section and a strong penalty is imposed for leaving the test incomplete.
- The first few questions have a bigger impact on the score range than the last few.
- The performance in one section is isolated from the other.
- There are approximately 20 experimental questions in the test.
- Verbal, Quantitative, Integrated Reasoning and Total scores will appear immediately after taking the test.
- The official report is received within two weeks (with essay grades).
