GMAT is an essential examination for the
enrolment in the business school application process. It is a computer-adaptive
test, which predicts a student’s ability for management programs as MBA and the
various programs of Finance. This test also
assessthe students’ ability of analytical writing, understanding of quantitative
methods, and verbal and reading skill in standard written English. The full
form of GMAT is Graduate Management Admission Test. Graduate Management
Admission Council (GMAC) conducts this examination.
GMAT is not computer based test, rather
we can say it is a computer adaptive test. That means a student will get one
question at a time and if the previous answer is accurate the difficulty level
for the next question will be ascertained thereafter.
Recently GMAC has shortened the exact
time frame for GMAT exam by 30 minutes. The verbal reasoning and quantitative
sections are shortened. The allotted time for the GMAT exam now is 3 hours and
30 minutes including instructions and breaks. This process has been effective
since last year, i.e. April 2018.
The remaining part of the exam process
is as usual same. The council clearly states that this newly changed process
hasnoimpact on deciding scores in the verbal, reasoning and the quantitative
section. These new features provide the candidates flexibility to customize
their section and feel comfortable while taking the exam.
GMAT registration process
for 2019 is going on throughout the year. Both online and offline mediums are open
for registration for the candidate. Every year more than 2, 00,000 candidates
appear for the exam. The council give the liberty to the candidates to choose
their time and venue for the exam as per their convenience. Not only that a
candidate can reappear 5 times throughout the year; but also they have the
freedom to reschedule their next attempt after 16 days of the first examination

before registration for the exam.
The GMAC did not set any criteria for
appearing or the examination, but the universities and colleges always set a
criterion for the students. Though there is no maximum age limit for the candidate
to appear in the examination, but one must complete 18 years of age.
