The Graduate Management Admission Test® (GMAT®) yields four scores—Verbal, Quantitative, Total, and Analytical Writing Assessment. Each of these scores is reported on a fixed scale and will appear on the official GMAT score reports that you and your designated score recipients (schools) receive.
Your Score Report
Score reports include your three most recent scores from tests you have taken in the last five years and the following background information you may have provided during GMAT registration or on the day of the test: country of citizenship; gender; date of birth; Social Security number; telephone number; undergraduate institution, grade point average (GPA), major, and date of graduation; intended graduate study; and the highest level of education attained.
Total, Verbal, and Quantitative Scores
Total GMAT scores range from 200 to 800. Two-thirds of test takers score between 400 and 600.
The Verbal and Quantitative scores range from 0 to 60. Scores below 9 and above 44 for the Verbal section or below 7 and above 50 for the Quantitative section are rare. Both scores are on a fixed scale and can be compared across any GMAT administration.
The Verbal and Quantitative scores measure different things and cannot be compared to each other.
If you do not finish each multiple-choice section of the test, your score will depend on the number of questions answered within each section.
Analytical Writing Assessment Score
The Analytical Writing Assessment (AWA) score is an average of the ratings given to the Analysis of an Issue and the Analysis of an Argument sections.
Each response is given two independent ratings. Once both essays have been scored, the scores are averaged to provide an overall score. Scores for the AWA can range from 0 to 6 in half-point intervals.
Writing scores are computed separately from the scores for the multiple-choice sections of the test and have no effect on the Verbal, Quantitative, or Total scores.
