Analytical Writing Assessment Section
The Analytical Writing Assessment (AWA) is designed as a direct measure of the test taker's ability to think critically and communicate ideas.The AWA consists of two writing tasks: Analysis of an Issue and Analysis of an Argument.
The issues and arguments in the test questions concern topics of general interest related to business or other subjects. Specific knowledge of the essay topic is not necessary- only the test taker’s capacity to write analytically is assessed.
Verbal Section This part of the GMAT exam measures the test taker's ability to
Three types of multiple-choice questions are used in the Verbal section of the GMAT exam: ReadingComprehension, Critical Reasoning, and Sentence Correction.
Quantitative Section

Two types of multiple-choice questions are intermingled throughout the section: Problem Solving and Data Sufficiency. Both types of questions require knowledge of the following:
GMAT Scores
GMAT® test takers receive five scores :
An Official GMAT Score Report shows each of these scores; in cases of repeat testing, the score report will show all of the test taker's GMAT scores for the past five years. Test takers may printan Unofficial Score Report after they finish the exam, but this does not include the AWA score and will not be accepted in lieu of an Official Score Report.
Verbal, and Quantitative Scores
The Verbal and Quantitative scores range from 0 to 60. Scores below 9 and above 44 for the Verbal section or below 7 and above 50 for the Quantitative section are rare. The Verbal and Quantitative scores measure different constructs and are not comparable to each other.
Total GMAT Score
Total GMAT scores range from 200 to 800. Two-thirds of test takers score between 400 and 600.
Analytical Writing Assessment Score
The AWA score is an average of the two independent ratings for each section: Analysis of an Issue and Analysis of an Argument. These average scores can range from 0 to 6 in half point intervals. Writing scores are computed separately from the scores for the multiple-choice sections of the test and have noeffect on the Verbal, Quantitative, or Total scores.
Integrated Reasoning Score
Integrated Reasoning (IR) scores range from 1 to 8 in single-digit intervals; no partial credit is given. Most Integrated Reasoning questions require more than one response. Because the questions are designed to measure how well you integrate data to solve complex problems, you must answer all responses to a question correctly to receive credit.
The Score Report
GMAT score reports include all test results achieved in the last five years, the most recent AWA essay responses, and the following background information:
A "" symbol indicates that there is no reportable score for a test administration.

"Old" GMAT Scores
Official GMAT score results are kept for 10 years. Candidates may request score reports up to 10 years old if they do not have more recent, valid scores. Most schools accept scores no older than five years.
