How Is The GMAT Scored?

Test takers will receive the following 4 test scores:

  1. An overall GMAT score which is reported on a scale of 200 - 800.

  2. A verbal score (based on your performance on the critical thinking, reading comprehension and sentence correction questions) reported on a scale of 0 - 60.

  3. A quantitative score (based on your performance on the problem solving and data sufficiency questions) reported on a scale of 0 - 60.

  4. An Analytical Writing Assessment (AWA) score based on two written essays (the analysis of an issue and the analysis of an argument) which are reported on a scale of 0 - 6.

Obviously, the higher your score the better your chances of gaining admission to the school of your choice. It is important to note that there is no designated passing or failing score. Each school is free to decide what score will satisfy its admission requirements.
