the world. The GMAT exam measures verbal, mathematical, reasoning and analytical writing skills. The test is designed to help graduate management programs assess the qualifications of applicants for advanced study in business and management.

More than 4,800 programmes offered by more than 1,500 institutions in 83 countries use the GMAT as part of the selection criteria for their programmes. GMAT was originally a paper-and-pencil test, it is now a computer-adaptive test (CAT), where Examinees sit at a computer in a testing center.
