Scoring
Pattern
The GMAT test results
comprise four different scores : a total score (which is the combined
verbal and quantitative scores), a separate Verbal score, a separate
Quantitative score, and an Analytical Writing score. The total score is
reported on a scale from
200
to 800.
The Verbal and Quantitative Scores are reported on a scale of
0
to 60.
For the Analytical Writing Assessment (AWA) score, the scale is from
0
to 6.
Note that your AWA performance is not reflected in your total GMAT score
(on 800).
You get to know your total, verbal, and quantitative score immediately
after taking the test. Official GMAT score reports, which include the
AWA scores, are mailed approximately two weeks after you take the test
and take another ten days or so to reach your address.
In addition to these scores,
the score report also contains percents (%) below. These "% below"
indicate the percentage of examinees who scored below you based on the
scores of the entire GMAT testing population for the most recent
three-year period. These percentages are important in considering how an
applicant for admission to a particular management school compares with
everyone in the specified period, with all other applicants to the same
school, and with students already enrolled at the school.
Reporting the Scores
There is a provision of reporting your GMAT test scores to a maximum of
five universities of your choice, the cost of which is built into the
GMAT test fee you pay. But the catch is : you have to select these five
universities/business-schools which will receive copies of your score
report before you begin to take the test. This implies that even before
taking the GMAT, you need to do some homework on which universities
you’re finally going to apply, based on the score that you expect to
attain.
For reporting to each
additional university, the charge is US
$28,
payable by an international credit card or a dollar denominated draft.
You will incur taxes when you request Additional Score Reports (ASRs) in
certain countries. |
