The GMAT is primarily for entering an MBA program in America and Canada. However, some other business programs - for example, in finance, marketing and management information systems - at the Master’s and PhD levels do allow a choice between the GMAT and GRE. Check the admissions requirements of your prospective school.

The GMAT consists of 3 parts:

1. Verbal: This section, through multiple-choice questions, tests your reading comprehension, critical reason and sentence criterion.
2. Quantitative: This section measures, through multiple-choice questions, your basic mathematical skills and your understanding of elementary concepts, and your ability to solve quantitative problems, reason quantitatively and interpret graphical data.
3. Analytical Writing: This section measures, through 2 30-minute tasks, your ability to analyze an issue and analyze an argument. The issues and arguments in the test do not presuppose knowledge of business or any other topics.

The GMAT score is on a scale of 200 to 800.

Comments made about the computer-based test for the GRE above apply to the GMAT as well.
