The GMAT (Graduate Management Admission Test)\n\nhe Graduate Management Admission Test® (GMAT®) is a standardized assessment—delivered in English—that helps business schools assess the qualifications of applicants for advanced study in business and management. Schools use the test as one predictor of academic performance in an MBA program or in other graduate management programs.\nWhat the GMAT® Measures\n\nThe GMAT® exam measures basic verbal, mathematical, and analytical writing skills that you have developed over a long period of time in your education and work. It does NOT measure:\n\n    * your knowledge of business,\n    * your job skills,\n    * specific content in your undergraduate or first university course work,\n    * your abilities in any other specific subject area, or\n    * subjective qualities—such as motivation, creativity, and interpersonal skills.\n\nFormat and Timing\n\nThe GMAT® exam consists of three main parts, the Analytical Writing Assessment, the Quantitative section, and the Verbal section. \nAnalytical Writing Assessment\n\nThe GMAT® exam begins with the Analytical Writing Assessment (AWA). The AWA consists of two separate writing tasks—Analysis of an Issue and Analysis of an Argument. You are allowed 30 minutes to complete each one. \nQuantitative Section\n\nFollowing an optional ten-minute break, you begin the Quantitative Section of the GMAT® exam. This section contains 37 multiple-choice questions of two question types—Data Sufficiency and Problem Solving. You will be allowed a maximum of 75 minutes to complete the entire section.\nVerbal Section\n\nAfter a second optional ten-minute break, you begin the Verbal Section of the GMAT® exam. This section contains 41 multiple choice questions of three question types—Reading Comprehension, Critical Reasoning, and Sentence Correction. You are allowed a maximum of 75 minutes to complete the entire section.

This test is for many departments.  I was called back after 2 years of taking the exam for a mark up clerk position.  The higher your score the quicker you are hired as they work downward from top to 70. You can retake the test & get a better score. In the department I now work they are pulling people off of the 2003 roster. Good Luck.

Scores aren't everything. You have to act confident and tell them more about you than just your scores.

You might want to retake.  I got nearly identical percentiles (99th verbal and 64th math) and decided to not take the exam a second time.  All the interviews I went on, no one made mention of it except my alma mater, Stern.  The interviewer asked me why I didn't take it a second time, to boost my grade.  Whoops.  Didn't really have an good answer for it.  Needless to say, I did get in.  Stern's not top 10, but for finance it was top 5 at the time, and that is what i was going to study, so somehow I managed to get in with a crappy math score.  So, in answer to question #1, I wouldn't be super concerned with being 10 points below the median.  For #2, I would have to say, depending on what you intend to study (rather, what you tell them you intend to study) it could very well make a difference.  If you say "my plan is to study finance and accounting", the low grade on the math side could hurt you.  If you say you are going to study marketing or IT, maybe it won't be as big a deal.\nNot to get into too long of a discussion, but, its not just the GMAT that matters.  Even with my GMAT score, I was able to get in to Cornell; I just hit it off with the interviewer and I had a good "story", so he sold the school on me and the GMAT seemed to be irrelevant in that case.\nHope this helps you and good luck!

Kaplan's math questions are more difficult than the real test.\n\nIf you are interested in practice questions then ETS's GMAT Review (11th Edition) is the best book available. All the questions in it have been used in real GMAT tests and so they are definitely like the real thing. You should be able to get hold of it from Amazon, MBA.com or your local bookshop.\n\nIf you are interested in tutorials and tips then check out PrepForTests online GMAT quantitative tutorials http://www.prepfortests.com/gmat/tutorials/quantitative

You can revise, there are many websites that will help you get used to the types of questions. It is not a bad idea to spend at least a little time getting comfortable with the test. Who knows maybe you will be able to identify where you have any weakness and can just improve that. It is your score, and if you don't care, no one can make you. After all you had 16-18 year of learning to prepare.\nGet good sleep that week, eat a good meal before you go.

My experience was as follows:\n\n1.  I downloaded the free software from the MBA.com website.  They have two full practice tests and I found these helpful.\n\n2.  I also bought a Kaplan book and a Princeton Review book.  I thought that the Kaplan book was much more helpful.  One *big* helpful hint that I found was to **NOT** write in the book - you can't write on the computer screen on the test, so don't get into bad habits.\n\n3.  ETS also offers "The Official Guide for GMAT Review."  I didn't use it, but I heard that it is very helpful - the questions in the book come from old tests.\n\n4.  In general, spend a little time each day working on the test.  If English is your native language, I wouldn't spend that much time worrying about the essays.  I don't think those scores are really looked at unless English is a second language for you.\n\n5.  Try not to stress to much and keep one eye on the clock.  Good luck!

I worked as a professional in an exam board for 25 years. They are not easier, just different. They now test more skills and fewer facts - often referred to as 'test and forget'. Skills set a student up for life, facts set him/her up for the exam day itself. On a different point, making them harder will do no good at all as the best students do not score full marks (or anywhere near) as it is. If the top students are getting marks around 70% and the median is around 50%, all that making them harder will do is bring that range down, it won't affect the grades. If people want fewer A and B grades then the exams can be left alone and the proportion of these grades reduced - but that will deny good A students the grade they should have had and would have had if they had taken the exam a few years earlier. And THAT is tinkering with the standards.

You can improve your score by studying, but only a certain amount.\n\nFor example, MENSA accepts scores from standardized tests like the SATs, ACTs and GREs.  You can buy a study guide or take a class if you want to improve your score.  Basically you just need to develop habits that conform to the sorts of problems encountered in each type of test.
