Introduction to the GMAT test
GMAT stands for Graduate Management Admission Test, which is the threshold test for applying to business schools. The GMAT is the world's only standardized test for graduate students in business and management, with official test centers in more than 110 countries.
The GMAT is a standardized test that has been widely used by colleges and universities in the United States, the United Kingdom, Europe, Australia and other countries and regions.
The GMAT test focuses on students' logical thinking skills, and the questions on the test need to be analyzed based on the information in the test questions, rather than testing the students' memorization skills. GMAT test scores are used to assess an applicant's suitability for graduate study in business, economics, and management majors to determine admission.
GMAT Exam Content:
The GMAT test consists of four sections:
- 分析性写作（Analytical Writing Assessment）
- 综合推理（Integrated Reasoning）
- 数学（Quantitative）
- 语文（Verbal）
Analytical writing
Analytical writing mainly examines the student's analytical ability, reasoning and hypothesis based on the material, and then critically evaluating the conclusions of the analysis. Topics are usually closely related to business, but they also examine aspects that are related to business derivatives.
It is important to note that analytical writing is 30 minutes long and generally has a word count of between 350 and 450.
Integrated reasoning
The comprehensive reasoning part is more changeable, consisting of a total of 12 questions, mainly including chart interpretation, two-stage analysis, table analysis, and multi-source reasoning.
- That is, the candidate explains through the given chart and selects the option corresponding to the explanation.
- The solution is divided into two parts, and the selected answers need to be presented in the form of a list, with one column for each part.
- Candidates are required to reason and analyze the data and information in the table, and then judge whether the information presented in the form is correct.
- The main test is the student's logical reasoning ability, and the question will generally give two or three sources of information (clues), and the candidate will summarize it through information reasoning to present the original appearance.
mathematics
The math part is a 31-choice question that candidates need to answer within 62 minutes, which means that candidates have limited the time to answer each question within two minutes. The questions in the Mathematics test are data adequacy analysis and problem solving.
Chinese
The duration of the language part of the test is 65 minutes, and candidates are required to complete 36 multiple-choice questions. There are three main types of questions: reading comprehension, logical reasoning, and sentence correction.

The Chinese part is slightly difficult for Chinese students, but after scientifically arranging the review, it can also reach more than 32 points.
What qualities can be reflected in the GMAT?
