GMAT format & timing

What the test involves

Three equally timed sections assess quantitative reasoning, verbal reasoning and data insights.

Testing time is 2 hours 15 minutes, with one optional 10-minute break.

Scores and what happens next

• Current total scores use 205–805, not the old 200–800 scale; do not compare the raw numbers directly.
• Scores are valid for five years. Recipient policies still determine use and deadlines.
