The GMAT: Graduate Management Admission Test
|
Test
To take an oral exam, math, writing and analysis of the candidates has been
a long period of skills development within his / her education and work.
Candidates answer three problems in the field tests on each one, there are
two optional rest; [2] Under normal circumstances, the test takes about 4
hours to complete.
Results are valid for five years (a maximum of bodies) from the date of
testers sitting until the entry date of the examination (that is to accept,
not until the application date).
The highest score in the exam to get a 800. In the past three years, the
average score of 535.2. [3]
Analytical Writing Assessment (AWA) portion is the first part of the answer.
Then, quantitative and verbal ability to express some parts, namely, to
follow.
Analytical Writing Assessment
Analytical Writing Assessment (AWA) of the test section from the two
articles. In the first stage, students have to analyze the parameters, and
in the second, students must analyze the problem. Each article must be
written within 30 minutes, and get 0-6 scale. Prose is marked by two readers
who each met with an article by a 0-6 year increase of 0.5 points to 4.1
average scores. If the two scores within each other's point is that they are
average. If more than one percentage point difference, these articles are
read by a third reader. [4]
The first reader Intellimetric is a proprietary computer program developed
Vantage Learning, which analyzes the creative and more than 50 structural
features of language and grammar. [5] the second and third readers, who
assess the candidate's thinking and his or her organizational ability,
quality and development, and expressed support for the idea. Although the
conventions of English writing master to the scores of factors, small errors
expectations and assessments are well-trained, sensitive, candidate's first
language is not English. [4]
Writing in the analysis of these two parts of the test article for each
grade level 0 (lowest) to 6 (highest):
* 0 an article, which is obviously not completely clear, or specify the
subject of writing.
* An article is fundamentally flawed.
* 2 1 is a serious flaw.
* 3 1 is severely limited.
* 4 The article said just enough.
* 5 1 is strong.
* 6 1 was to highlight.
Quantitative Section
Quantitative part consists of 37 multiple-choice questions, it must be in 75
minutes to answer. There are two types of questions: problem solving and
data on self-sufficiency. Quantitative part is from 0 am to 60 points. In
the past three years, the average score of 35.6/60; scores above 50, below 7
is rare. [3] [6]
Problem Solving
Such a test amount of reasoning ability of candidates. Problem-solving
question, at present more choices in arithmetic, basic algebra, elementary
geometry. Our task is to solve the problem, and then from the five answers
to choose the right answer. Some issues will be a pure mathematical
calculations, and the rest will serve as a real-life word problem that
requires mathematical solution proposed.
Numbers: All numbers used in real numbers.
Numbers: charts and figures, along with these issues to provide useful
information in answering the question of the purpose. Unless it is said that
a specific figure is not drawn to scale charts and figures are as accurate
as possible. All figures are in an aircraft, unless otherwise indicated.
Data Sufficiency
The trial of quantitative reasoning ability using a series of unusual
directions. The candidate was given two related note, the provision of
information, may be useful in answering the question. The candidate must
then determine whether the statement itself is enough to answer this
question, whether it is necessary to answer the question, or have not been
given enough information to answer this question.
Data on self-sufficiency is a unique type of mathematical problems and
create a GMAT the world, in particular. Each project includes statements by
two numbers, then the problem itself.
(A) If the statements 1 itself is enough to answer this question, but note
two alone is not enough.
(B) If the statements of two in itself is enough to answer this question,
but statement 1 alone is not enough.
(C) If the two statements together to answer this question, but there is no
single statement would be sufficient.
(D) If the statement or in itself is enough to answer this question.
(E) If you do not have enough facts to give answer this question.
Perhaps the simplest way, fully within the scope of these problems is to
replace the "yes" to "must" - the answer to the question is not whether it
is possible, but whether they "must" make such statements.
Oral Group
The oral part consists of 41 multiple-choice questions, it must be in 75
minutes to answer. There are three types of questions: sentence correction,
critical reasoning, and reading comprehension. Verbal section scores from 0
to 60 points. In the past three years, an average of 27.8/60; scores higher
than 44 and less than 9 little. [3] [6]
Sentence Correction
This sentence to amend some of the test a test of knowledge of those
American English grammar, usage and style.
Sentence correction items include a sentence, all or in part, stressed,
there are five associated answer choices are listed in the following
sentence. The first answer choice is exactly the same emphasis as part of a
sentence. The remaining four answer options, the underlined part of the
sentence that contains a different phrasings. Tester's instructions, select
the first answer choice, if there is no flaw with the wording of the
sentence. If there is a defect with the sentence of the original wording of
the test's instructions, select the remaining four to choose the best
answer. [7]
Sentence correction questions in order to measure a test in the following
three aspects: the right skills, effective expression and appropriate terms.
[7] the correct expression refers to the grammar and sentence structure.
High-level expression refers to the concise used to express ideas. The
correct language refers to the appropriateness of words in the dictionary
and reference found in the accuracy of the selected text, and made the
background in which the word. [7]
The key reasoning
The test logic. Critical Thinking in a project, at present the test were
asked to analyze the argument. Problems may require candidates to draw
conclusions in order to determine the assumptions, or recognition of
strengths or weaknesses in the argument. It made a brief statement or
argument, and requires an assessment of the form or content of statement or
argument. Such questions require candidates to analyze and assess, in a very
short paragraph or paragraphs of reasoning. For some questions, the answer
choices might imagine the answer to this question asked. The examinee should
choose the best answer of the question, which is an answer, do not make any
assumptions contrary to common sense standards, is not credible, redundant,
irrelevant, or inconsistent.
Reading Comprehension
Such a test can read criticism. Issues related to reading comprehension for
the candidates and to provide a reading. The channel can be almost anything,
how to test candidates on this issue to understand the channel, in which
information. As the name suggests, it tests the candidates ability to
understand the substance and logical structure of the written options. GMAT
reading uses about 200-350 word paragraph, covering the social sciences,
biological sciences, physical sciences and business topics. Each channel has
its content three or more problems. The question asks what the authors
defined what kind of logic can be inferred, tunnels, as well as the channel,
with emphasis on the author's attitude or tone.
Total
In the "total score," the quantity and composition of the oral part of the
Analytical Writing Assessment (AWA) with the exclusive, from the 200-800
range. About two-thirds of two-thirds of the candidates with a score of 400
and 600. Score distribution is similar to a bell-shaped curve has a standard
deviation of about 100 points, which means that test is designed for 68% of
the candidates 400 to 600 points, while the median score will be close to
the original design 500. 2005/2006 the average score of 533. [8]
The volume and the oral part consists of a computer adaptive test. The first
problem may be difficult. In each section of the next few problems may be
around the 500 level. If the candidate answers correctly, the problem is
difficult in the future. If the candidate's answer is not correct, the next
question is easier. These issues are from the widening of the problem and
issued a pool based on students running score. These problems regularly
updated in order to prevent them from being destroyed, the students
questions.
The final score was not based on purely final answer to the question of the
candidates (that is - right through the computer of the issue to the problem
of adaptive difficulty). The algorithm used to create a score to be much
more complex. Candidates can be a foolish mistake, the answer wrong, the
computer will recognize the project's an anomaly. If the candidates have
missed the first one, he scores does not necessarily decrease the scope of
the second half.
In addition, the gap remaining issues (that is, not achieved) has hurt the
candidates correctly answering the above questions. This is a major contrast
to State Administration of Taxation, of which there is a mistake, the answer
is fine. Each test section also includes some experimental problems, the
candidates are not included in the score, but included in the project to
determine the adequacy of the future government.
Verbal and quantitative section scores range from 0 to 60. Analytical
Writing scores range from 0 to 6, representing the two GMAT article ratings
average. The game is different from the verbal and quantitative parts of
prose and not in the total integral.
All scoring and cancellation in the past five years, the student's
transcripts, scores from the past three years, cancel the previous policy
change is to save the transcript. [Edit]
need results
Most schools do not release the minimum scores or the applicant's
achievements detailed statistics. However, schools generally do not publish
their latest intake, can be used for reference to the average and median
scores.
The highest average score for almost all business school, according to the
fashion magazines in general and ranking service offerings, is in the upper
600 or lower 737-700.
It is possible to overcome the real world, an impressive achievement test
scores low, good performance, undergraduate, outstanding references and / or
connections, in particular, a strong application essays, or according to the
representative from the group.
History of the Graduate Management Admission Test
In 1953, the organization now known as the Graduate Management Admission
Council (GMAC) began as nine associations of business schools whose goal is
to develop a standardized test to help business schools select qualified
applicants. In the first year, is to provide the assessment (now the
Graduate Management Admission Test is known), was just over 2000 times in
recent years, has spent more than 20 million times a year. Originally used
in the admission of 54 schools, is now testing the use of more than 1,500
schools and 1,800 branches.
After 2005, SAIC is the administration according to law examination. On
January 1, 2006, GMAC's transition to vendor's decree, which developed the
test questions and CAT software, and Pearson VUE, which provides a test
examination centers around the world, combined.
On June 23, 2008 be recognized as a cheating scandal involving about 6000
SAIC MBA student who is interested in the purchase of the site ScoreTop.com,
may be considered "live" issue in the use of the GMAT. SAIC announced,
including the invalid user ratings to inform the school who received scores
of stringent measures, and to prohibit future testing. On June 27, GMAC
guarantees applicants, only those who deliberately cheat the use of Scoretop
site will be affected. [9] The Wall Street Journal later reported that 84
candidates after the cancellation of scores in the scandal. [10]
In addition, in response to "agent" or "ring" test case to take the students
to pay someone else to represent them to the test, GMAC will be the
introduction of Fujitsu PalmSecure (palm-vein scanning technology) at this
year's Test Center. Center in South Korea and India is to obtain first hand
scanning devices, followed by the United States in the fall of 2008. SAIC
plans to let them all test Center in May 2009. [11]
SAIC has already announced plans to set up the next generation of GMAT
launched in 2013. International disputes will be considered more strongly.
