Scoring on the GMAT
Information provided by Kaptest.com
You will receive four scores on the GMAT:
An overall score, ranging from 200 to 800.
A math subscore, ranging from 0 to 60.
A verbal subscore, ranging from 0 to 60.
A score for the Analytical Writing Assessment, ranging from 0 to 6.
Your GMAT score is valid for five years.
Percentile Rank
Each of the aforementioned scores are accompanied by a percentile rank. The
percentile rank highlights what proportion of test takers scored lower than you
on the test. The higher the percentile rank, the better you did. For example, if
you received a percentile rank of 56, you did better than 56 percent of test
takers. This number tells business schools exactly where you fell with respect
to other candidates who took the GMAT.
The Essay
Each essay is given a separate grade on a 0-6 scale by two different graders -
a human and a computer named the "e-rater.". These grades are assigned
holistically, taking into account all aspects of content, writing style, and
grammar.
If the two grades for an essay agree, that score will be assigned. If the two
scores are markedly different, then a third scorer, a person, will read the essay
to determine its grade. In addition, business schools may receive copies of
your typewritten essays.
