Hi,
I'd like to know if there is some people who already passed the GMAT.
(Graduate management admission test)
I would like to know the characteristics of the test and the differents parts and subjects.
Thanks

Not me but I know that the major part of the entreprise doesn't know this test.

Hello,
First, a little background- I provide private GMAT courses in Paris. Thus, I'm well acquainted with the GMAT.

As for you question, the GMAT is composed of three parts: a writing section, a math section, and a verbal section.

The writing section is 60 minutes but most schools don't care too much about this section. The goal is just to get a decent score without working to hard.

The math section is usually fairly difficult even for people that know math. It is composed of 37 question, and lasts 75 minutes, giving you about two minutes a questions.

The last section is the verbal section. Here you have 41 questions and again you have 75 minutes. The verbal section has three types of questions- critical reasoning (CR), sentence correction (SC), and reading comprehension (RC). The CR section is basically logic. The SC tests your grammar ability and the RC section tests whether you can understand certain passages that you've read.
