What does the GMAT exam measure?
The GMAT exam measures basic verbal, mathematical, and analytical writing skills that you have developed in your education and work. It does NOT measure:
- your knowledge of business
- your job skills
- specific content in your undergraduate or first university course work
- your abilities in any other specific subject area, or
- subjective qualities—such as motivation, creativity, and interpersonal skills
How long are GMAT scores valid?
Your GMAT score is valid for five years, so you have the flexibility of “banking it”—choosing to start your graduate studies right after university or later on. Remember, if at first you don’t succeed, you can take the GMAT exam again. Remember, though, that all of your GMAT scores from the past 5 years will appear on your Official Score Report.
