				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>General Information</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>It’s a 4-hour Computer Adaptive Test (CAT) that can be taken at any one of many test centers around the world 5 or 6 days a week.</li>
<li>You may take the GMAT only once every 31 days and no more than five times within any 12-month period.</li>
<li>This policy applies even if you cancel your score within that time period, and all of your scores and cancellations within the last five years will be reported to the institutions you designate as score recipients.</li>
</ul>
<div><strong>Analytical Writing Assessment</strong></div>
<ul>
<li> It’s made up of three sections, the first being the Analytical Writing Assessment, or AWA.</li>
<li>The good news is that there are only two questions in this section, the bad news is that they’re both essays.</li>
<li>One question asks you to analyze an issue, the other asks that you analyze an argument.</li>
<li>You are given thirty minutes to answer each question.</li>
<li>Your score on this question will range anywhere from a 0 to 6 (in increments of .5), and this section won’t have any affect on any other GMAT score.</li>
</ul>
<div><strong>Math Section</strong></div>
<ul>
<li>After finishing the AWA, the next section you’ll encounter will be the Math section.</li>
<li>There are 37 questions in this section, and about four of them will be trial questions which won’t count towards your actual score.</li>
<li>You’ll have seventy-five minutes to answer an assortment of Problem Solving and Data Sufficiency questions.</li>
<li>Your score will range anywhere from 0-60, with a mean score of 35/45<sup>th</sup> percentile.</li>
</ul>
<div><strong>Verbal Section</strong></div>
<ul>
<li>When you’re done with the Math section, you’re going to move into the last section: Verbal.</li>
<li>There are 41 questions in this section, and just like with the Math section, you’ll be given 75 minutes to answer all of them and four questions will be trial questions that won’t be counted towards your actual score.</li>
<li>There are three different kinds of question in this section: Critical Reasoning, Sentence Correction, and Reading Comprehension.</li>
<li>Your possible score will range anywhere from 0-60, with a mean score of about 27.3/46%.</li>
<li>In total, you’ll be given four hours to complete the GMAT and your overall score will range anywhere from 200-800.</li>
</ul>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Manhattan Review <a title="gmat prep" href="http://www.manhattanreview.com/gmat/" target="_blank">GMAT Prep</a> is into its eleventh year of helping students achieve high GMAT scores and get into top MBA programs. Now, more than ever, GMAT score is essential to the strength of a business school application. With an MBA degree from top schools becoming ever more in demand, and thus the MBA application processes becoming ever more competitive, students are always looking for a way to make their application stand out. A high GMAT score is instrumental for any student who wishes to be accepted to a top MBA program. With a decade of experience, more than any other comparable GMAT prep company, Manhattan Review is continuing to educate students on how to get the top scores necessary to get into the top schools.</p>
<p>The story of Manhattan Review began in an Ivy-League MBA classroom in summer 1999. <a href="http://www.meiss.com/">Dr. Joern Meissner</a>, while teaching at Columbia Business School, heard from his students that they and their friends were frustrated with conventional GMAT preparation options. In response, he started to create original lectures that focused on presenting the GMAT content in a coherent and concise manner. Dr. Meissner then shared his new approach with students preparing for the GMAT, and it proved immediately popular. Based on these methods, the company Manhattan Review was created with the purpose of providing higher quality GMAT preparation.</p>
<p>Throughout Manhattan Review’s history, the <a title="gmat prep" href="http://www.manhattanreview.com/gmat/" target="_blank">GMAT</a> has changed in many ways. Since the development of those original lectures, the team at Manhattan Review has expanded and adapted its teaching methods to reflect the changes in the test. Students who are retaking the GMAT after a few years need to be aware of the ways in which the test differs from when they originally took it. And any student preparing to take the GMAT needs up-to-date information on the test and the ways it has been modified.</p>
<p>“Over the last ten years,” said Manhattan Review’s founder, Dr. Joern Meissner, “we’ve seen the GMAT becomes more important to the <a title="MBA admissions" href="http://www.ManhattanReview.com/mba/" target="_blank">MBA admissions</a> process. We’re proud of the work we’ve done, and we look forward to providing help to students in need of <a title="gmat preparation" href="http://www.manhattanreview.com" target="_blank">GMAT preparation</a> for many years to come.” She added, “This milestone of being a premier GMAT provider for a decade gives us a chance to reflect on the current landscape of highly selective programs.”</p>
<p>Meantime, students are increasingly seeking the knowledge and support offered by Manhattan Review MBA admissions consultants to gain acceptance into the top business schools around the world. A combination of former admissions committee member experience, insightful advice and customized service distinguishes Manhattan Review&#8217;s admissions consulting services. Manhattan Review&#8217;s various <a title="mba admissions consulting" href="http://www.manhattanreview.com/mba/" target="_blank">MBA admissions consulting</a> services are designed to cater to the needs of GMAT students seeking an additional edge in the MBA application and admissions process.</p>
