An Overview of GMAT Score Report

The GMAT exam assesses the most important skills for graduate business education: verbal, quantitative, analytical writing, and integrated reasoning.

An official GMAT Score Report would include the following five sections:

  • Quantitative Score (on a scale from 0 to 60)
  • Verbal Score (on a scale from 0 to 60)
  • Total Score (on a scale from 200 to 800)
  • Score for Integrated Reasoning (on a scale from 1 to 8)
  • AWA (Analytical Writing Assessment) Score (on a scale from 0 to 6)

Candidates are advised that the Total Scaled Score (on a scale of 200 – 800) is a scaled combination of the quantitative and verbal scaled scores, reflecting a student’s overall performance on the multiple-choice sections of the test. The Analytical Writing Assessment and the Integrated Reasoning Score are scored independently and have no bearing on the Total Scaled Score.

  • The Quantitative and Verbal Sections: The scaled score for the Quantitative and Verbal Sections of the GMAT is calculated using an algorithm. This contains the overall number of questions successfully answered, the number of questions answered within the time limit, and the level of difficulty (statistical features) of the questions answered.
  • Integrated Reasoning: This section of the exam is not computer-adaptive and is graded on a scale of 1 to 8, with one-point increments. The Integrated Reasoning Score will not be provided on the same day as the examination; instead, applicants who choose to keep their score will get their official GMAT Score Report by mail, which will include the Integrated Reasoning Score.
  • The Analytical Writing Assessment (AWA) essay receives two scores: One from a human reader and one from a computerised evaluation programme. If the points estimated by the two sources are similar or differ by exactly one point, the final score for the essay is obtained by averaging them. If the scores disagree by more than one point, an expert human reader determines the final grade for the essay.
