GMAT:-Introduction: Graduate Management Admission Test
These GMAT (Graduate Management Admissions Test) is created and
administered by the Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC). It is used by many business schools all over the world to help assess whether you possess the foundation to build a successful business career. The GMAT has become one of the essential requirements to start a career in management. Student's performance on the GMAT plays a major role about his entry in the field of business and management. In many countries like Pakistan and India, Business schools commonly use the test as one of many selection criteria for admission into an MBA program. GMAT is administered only via computer. In those international locations where an extensive network of computers has not yet been established, the GMAT is offered either at temporary computer-based testing centers on a limited schedule or as a paper-based test (given once or twice a year) at local testing centers. The exam measures basic verbal, mathematical and analytical writing skills that the examinee has developed over a long period of time in his/her education and work. Test takers are given 3.5 hours to answer questions in each of the three tested areas, and there are also two 10-minute breaks; in general, the test takes about four hours to complete. It does not measure specific knowledge of business, job skills, or subjective qualities such as motivation, creativity, and interpersonal skills. If a test taker's first language is not English, he or she may still perform well on the exam; however, the GMAT exam may not accurately reflect the abilities of someone whose first language is not English. Business Schools with a high proportion of non-native English speaking students tend to have a lower average GMAT score.
Required Scores for this test
Most schools do not publish a minimum acceptable score or detailed statistics about the scores achieved by applicants. However, schools do generally publish the average and median score of their latest intake, which can be used as a guide.
At nearly all of the top business schools that are commonly listed in popular magazines and ranking services, the scores will average in the upper 600s or low 700s.
It may be possible to overcome a low test score with impressive real world accomplishments, good undergraduate performance, outstanding references and/or connections, particularly strong application essays, or coming from an underrepresented group.
Registration and preparation procedure for the test
The test taker can register in either of the following two ways:
Online at www.mba.com test registration by credit card

To schedule time table for test, an appointment must be made at one of the designated test centers. While it is possible to make the appointment even just a few days before you would like to take the test, it is better to schedule a few weeks in advance to ensure an appointment that is convenient for the student.
