The GMAT is taken by people who plan to attend business school and/or an MBA program. It’s used almost exclusively for admission to these types of programs.

The GMAT has three separate sections:

1. Quantitative Reasoning - This section measures your algebraic and arithmetic foundational knowledge and how you apply this knowledge to solve problems. It is composed of 21 Problem-Solving questions.
   
   • These types of questions require some knowledge of arithmetic and elementary algebra. Answering these questions correctly relies on logic and analytical skills, not the underlying math skills. You cannot use a calculator while working on this section.
2. Verbal Reasoning - This section measures your ability to read and comprehend written material and to reason and evaluate arguments. It is composed of 23 Reading Comprehension and Critical Reasoning questions.
   
   • Reading Comprehension questions measure your ability to understand words and statements, understand logical relationships between significant points, draw inferences, and follow the development of quantitative concepts. Specifically, the following reading skills will be tested: main idea, supporting idea, inference, application, logical structure, and style.
   • Critical Reasoning questions measure your ability to make arguments, evaluate arguments, and formulate or evaluate a plan of action. Critical Reasoning questions are based on a short reading passage, usually fewer than 100 words. Typically, the short text comes with a question that asks you which of the five answer options strengthens or weakens an argument, tells why the argument is flawed, or strongly supports or damages the argument. You will not need specialized knowledge of the subject matter to answer the questions.
3. Data Insights - The Data Insights section measures candidates’ ability to analyze and interpret data and apply it to real-world business scenarios. It also measures digital and data literacy—one of the most relevant and in-demand skills in business today. It is composed of 20 questions that ask you to assess how multiple sources and types of information – including graphic, numeric, and verbal – relate to one another and can be leveraged to make informed decisions. Questions may require math, data analysis, verbal reasoning, or all three. You can use an on-screen calculator while working on this section.
   • The question types you'll find in this section are: Data Sufficiency: Measures your ability to analyze a quantitative problem, recognize which data is relevant, and determine at what point there is enough data to solve the problem. Multi-Source Reasoning: Measures your ability to examine data from multiple sources including text passages, tables, graphics, or some combination of the three—and to analyze each source of data carefully to answer multiple questions. Table Analysis: Measures your ability to sort and analyze a table of data, similar to a spreadsheet, in order to determine what information is relevant or meets certain conditions. Graphics Interpretation: Measures your ability to interpret the information presented in a graph or other graphical image (scatter plot, x/y graph, bar chart, pie chart, or statistical curve distribution) to discern relationships, and make inferences. Two-Part Analysis: Measures your ability to solve complex problems. They could be quantitative, verbal, or some combination of both.

The most significant difference between the GMAT and the GRE is that the GRE is used as part of admissions for a wide variety of graduate school programs, while the GMAT is only used to apply to business schools.

The GRE has three major sections: Quantitative Reasoning, Verbal Reasoning, and Analytical Writing.

1. Quantitative Reasoning
   • The Quantitative Reasoning section measures your ability to understand, interpret, and analyze quantitative information, solve problems using mathematical models apply basic skills and elementary concepts of arithmetic, algebra, geometry, and data analysis.
   • This section has 27 questions.
2. Analytical Reasoning 
   • The Verbal Reasoning section measures your ability to analyze and draw conclusions from discourse; reason from incomplete data; identify author's assumptions and/or perspective; understand multiple levels of meaning, such as literal, figurative and author's intent select important points; distinguish major from minor or irrelevant points; summarize text; understand the structure of a text understand the meaning of individual words, sentences and entire texts; understand relationships among words and among concepts.
   • This section has 27 questions.
3. Analytical Writing
   • The Analytical Writing section measures your ability to articulate complex ideas clearly and effectively support ideas with relevant reasons and examples sustain a well-focused, coherent discussion control the elements of standard written English.
   • It requires you to provide focused responses based on the tasks presented, so you can accurately demonstrate your skill in directly responding to a task.
   • This section consists of one essay.
