THE SILENT TIMER™ Handbook

The GMAT® Test

Success and money—the so-called American dream. Children of all ages dream of one day driving expensive, fancy cars and living in multimillion-dollar mansions. What’s one way to achieve this aspiration? Take the GMAT test. Of course the test alone will not earn you your big raise, but it will point you in the direction of an MBA program or another business management graduate school program.

A woman’s salary can double with a master’s, while a man’s can increase by 89 percent. More interested in taking the GMAT test now?

Taken by over six million graduate school candidates since it began in 1954, the GMAT test is used by nearly 2,000 business schools along with applications, interviews and letters of recommendation to determine admission.

Test Details

The exam evaluates basic verbal, mathematical and analytical writing skills accumulated over a long period of time through education and work.

Verbal section:
dd- 41 multiple choice questions testing reading comprehension, critical reasoning and sentence correction
aa - Time Limit: 75 minutes

Quantitative section:

The GMAT test wisely adjusted to the age of technology in October 1997 to become a standardized computer-adaptive test. What this means for test takers is that questions are strategically selected as the test is taken so the questions adjust to the test taker’s ability level. A moderately difficult question is given first, and if it is answered correctly, a harder question is given. If the moderately difficult question is answered incorrectly, an easier question is given. This pattern is repeated for the remainder of the GMAT exam.
