What GMAT™ Measures

The GMAT™ does not presuppose any specific knowledge of business or other specific content areas, nor does it measure achievement in any particular subject areas. The test does not measure subjective factors important to academic and career success—such as motivation, creativity, interpersonal skills, study skills, or overall success on the job.

The GMAT™ measures basic verbal, mathematical, and analytical writing skills that are developed over a long period of time. It is specifically designed to help graduate schools assess the qualifications of applicants for advanced study in business and management.

Test takers should note that the GMAT is entirely in English and that all instructions are provided in English.
