- The GMAT exam is divided into three sections: analytical writing assessment, quantitative section and verbal section.
The analytical writing assessment is composed of two parts in which you must analyze both an issue as well as an argument. Each part is 30 minutes and you are required to explore the complexities of an issue and form an opinion based on your understanding of the issue.
The quantitative section is multiple choice that tests your ability to reason quantitatively and interpret graphic quantitative analyses.
The verbal section covers 41 multiple choice questions and tests your ability to comprehend reading material, reason critically and correct sentence structure. - Make an appointment to take the GMAT exam at an available test center near you via online, phone, mail or fax. See mba.com for details.

On the day of the exam, bring with you a photo identification, a list of schools you would like your scores to be sent to and the GMAT confirmation letter reserving your spot in the test center. All other items, including a pen or pencil, calculator, scratch paper and mobile phone must be left at home or in your car.
Arrive 30 minutes ahead of schedule to allow for sufficient check-in time. - You can opt to partake in an online GMAT prep course, enroll in a GMAT course on site or study for the exam on your own via prep books.
