Graduate Management Admission Test

Graduate Management Admission Test, perhaps better known by its initialism GMAT, is a standardized test for determing aptitude in business management studies. Most MBA schools use the GMAT score as a criterion for admission.

It is an "aptitude test" (as opposed to an "achievement test"). It currently consists of an essay section, which requires two free-response essays of 30 minutes each; two multiple choice sections, one mathematical section and one verbal skills section, which consists of an analytical section, an English grammar section, and reading comprehension.

GMAT is typically pronounced "jee-mat."
