GMAT stands for Graduate Management Admission Test and it is a 3½-hour standardized exam intended to predict how test takers will perform academically in MBA (Masters in Business Administration) programs. GMAT scores are one of the parameters considered by graduate business schools to make admission decisions.

The GMAT is developed by GMAC i.e. Graduate Management Admission Council, which determines what kinds of skills the GMAT should compute.
