GMAT(Graduate Management Admission Test)Introduction
The GMAT CAT
Since October 1, 1997, the GMAT has been offered
in a computer-only format, known as the GMAT Computer Adaptive Test, or
the GMAT CAT. Unlike a paper test, the CAT adapts to your performance
as you proceed through the test. In fact, every person gets a different
test depending on how well he or she is doing. Your final score is based
not on how many questions you get right but on the difficulty level of
the questions you answer correctly.
The test starts with a medium-level question that
about half of the test-takers are expected to get right. If you answer
it correctly, your score goes up and you get a harder question; if you
get it wrong, your score goes down and you get an easier question. This
process continues throughout the test. In theory, by the time you get
to the end of each section, you'll be getting about half of the questions
right and half of them wrong. (We'll cover scoring in more detail a little
later.)
Another difference between the CAT and the traditional
paper test is that you don't have to register months in advance to take
it. Instead, you take the CAT by appointment -- which you can make even
just two days in advance -- at an official test center. Simply call 800-GMAT-NOW
(in the U.S. and Canada) or go to www.gmat.org to register. If you prefer
to sign up the old-fashioned way, you can get the GMAT information application
bulletin at a local college counseling office, library, or Kaplan Educational
Center (or call 609-771-7330 to have one sent to you).
The CAT is offered six days a week, three weeks
out of each month, at 400 testing centers. The centers are located at
Sylvan Learning Centers, colleges and universities, and Educational Testing
Service (ETS) offices. There are some overseas centers as well. The test
costs $190 in the United States, Puerto Rico, and U.S. territories, and
slightly more in other countries.
