Analytical Writing Assessment

The Analytical Writing Assessment (AWA) section of the GMAT consists of two essays, each to be completed within 30 minutes. These essays are graded on a scale from 0 to 6. Two readers evaluate each essay, with a mean score typically around 4.1. If the two scores are within one point of each other, they are averaged. If there's a difference of more than one point, a third reader assesses the essay.

The first reader is IntelliMetric, a proprietary computer program developed by Vantage Learning, analyzing linguistic and structural features. The second and third readers are human evaluators who assess the quality of ideas and organization. While English language conventions matter, minor errors are acceptable, especially for non-native English speakers.

The grading scale:

  • 0: Completely illegible or off-topic.
  • 1: Fundamentally deficient.
  • 2: Seriously flawed.
  • 3: Seriously limited.
  • 4: Adequate.
  • 5: Strong.
  • 6: Outstanding.

These scores reflect the essay's clarity, argument strength, and overall quality.

Quantitative Section

The quantitative section has 37 multiple-choice questions, with a time limit of 75 minutes. Question types include problem solving and data sufficiency. Scores range from 0 to 51 points.

Problem Solving

The quantitative section assesses the examinee's quantitative reasoning ability. It includes problem-solving questions covering arithmetic, basic algebra, and elementary geometry. Examinees must choose the correct answer from five options. Questions vary from straightforward calculations to real-life word problems.

Numbers used are real numbers, and figures provided with questions are typically drawn to scale unless stated otherwise.

Data Sufficiency

The quantitative section includes Data Sufficiency questions, which have a unique format. Each question is accompanied by two statements. Examinees must determine whether one statement alone, the other statement alone, both statements together, or neither statement is sufficient to answer the question. Options for response are:

    (A) Statement 1 is sufficient, but not Statement 2.
    (B) Statement 2 is sufficient, but not Statement 1.
    (C) Both statements are necessary together, but neither alone is sufficient.
    (D) Either statement is sufficient.
    (E) Insufficient information to answer the question

These questions assess quantitative reasoning by determining if information "must be" sufficient to answer the question.

Verbal Section

The verbal section has 41 multiple-choice questions to be answered in 75 minutes. It includes sentence correction, critical reasoning, and reading comprehension questions, with scores ranging from 0 to 51 points.

Sentence Correction

The Sentence Correction section assesses knowledge of American English grammar, usage, and style. It presents a sentence with part of it underlined, along with five answer choices. The first choice is identical to the underlined part. The other four offer alternative phrasings. Test takers select the best choice if there's a flaw; otherwise, they choose the original. This section evaluates correct expression, effective expression (clarity and conciseness), and proper diction (word suitability and accuracy in context).

Critical Reasoning

Critical reasoning questions assess logical thinking by presenting arguments for analysis. Test takers evaluate arguments, draw conclusions, identify assumptions, and recognize strengths or weaknesses. Questions may ask to assess the form or content of statements or arguments in short paragraphs. The goal is to choose the best answer that aligns with common-sense standards, avoiding implausible, redundant, irrelevant, or inconsistent assumptions.

Reading Comprehension

Reading comprehension assesses critical reading skills. Examinees read a passage and answer questions that evaluate their understanding of the passage's substance and structure. Passages are 200 to 350 words long, covering various topics. Questions pertain to the main point, explicit statements, logical inferences, and the author's attitude.
