What is the content and format of the GMAT test?
The GMAT test consists of three sections: Essay Writing, Math and Verbal.
Section 1: You will be asked to write two 30-minute essays on the computer. The first essay will ask you to analyze a given issue. The second essay will ask you to analyze a given argument.
Section 2: You will be given 75 minutes to answer 37 multiple-choice quantitative questions. These questions come in two forms: (a) Problem Solving questions which ask you to solve a variety of arithmetic, algebraic, and geometric math problems and (b) Data Sufficiency questions which ask you to decide whether or not you are given sufficient information to solve a given problem.
Section 3: You will be given 75 minutes to answer 41 multiple-choice verbal questions. These questions come in three forms: (a) Sentence Correction questions which ask you to choose the most grammatically accurate way of expressing a given sentence, (b) Critical Reasoning questions which ask you to assess the logic of short arguments, and (c) Reading Comprehension questions which ask you to read short passages (up to 350 words each) and answer content, inference, and application questions based on the information presented.
The timed-portion of the GMAT test lasts three-and-a-half hours. You are allowed a five-minute break between each section.
Note that the GMAT test does not include any questions that test your business knowledge. It is designed solely to measure your writing, quantitative, and verbal ability.
