GMAT

The Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT) is a computer-adaptive test which measures general verbal, mathematical, and analytical writing skills.

This computer-based standardized test serves as a uniform standard of measurement for applicants. It is non-business specific and tests one's general verbal, mathematical and analytical writing skills. The GMAT is given entirely in English. GMAT scores are valid for five years.

If you are attempting to meet a specific W. P. Carey MBA application submission date, you should take the test no later than two weeks prior to that submission date. The official GMAT score must be forwarded to the W. P. Carey MBA by the Educational Testing Service. It takes approximately two weeks for ASU to receive the official test scores.
