Default Re: ::: The Ultimate GMAT thread :::

The exam measures verbal, mathematical, and analytical writing skills that the examinee has developed over a long period of time in his or her education and work. Test takers answer questions in each of the three tested areas, and there are also two optional breaks; in general, the test takes about four hours to complete.

Scores are valid for five years (at most institutions) from the date the test taker sits for the exam until the date of matriculation (i.e. acceptance, not until the date of application).

The maximum score that can be achieved on the exam is 800. Over the 3 years concluding in March 2011, the mean score has been 540.4. The Analytical Writing Assessment (AWA) section is the first to be answered. This is followed by the Quantitative section, and the test is concluded with the Verbal Ability section.
