[Kiran Chandar]

The Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) is a computer adaptive test that assesses potential by testing various parameters to determine expertise in various areas by means of four sections in the new exam pattern:

• Analytical Writing Assessment
• Integrated Reasoning Section
• Quantitative Section
• Verbal Section

One is given three and a half hours to complete these four sections.
The total score out of 800 is only for the verbal and quantitative sections.
The remaining two sections receive their independent scores.
