GMAT scores are tracked and statistics are compiled by the Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC). According to GMAC's data over the last three years, test-takers mean score on the GMAT is 560. Elite institutions expect higher scores, and incoming classes tend to have an average of at least a 650. It is important to research the program of your choice to have a better idea of the score you should be achieving to have a chance of being admitted to your chosen university. For example, the incoming class at UCLA Anderson School of Business has an average score of 719, with a GMAT range of 680-750.

We at Manhattan Review know that it is important for students to dedicate significant time to effective preparation. We also know that there is no use in wasting any of that time on a subpar study plan. The cliché "practice, practice, practice!" may be a bit tired, but it still remains true. There is one distinction though. Students need to be practicing with someone who can correct mistakes. Many make the mistake of practicing with no feedback, thereby continuously practicing a skill wrong and solidifying it in their brain. To earn your highest potential score, leave the learning plan to the experts and save your energy on actual preparation instead of piecing together your own plan or scouring private ads for individual tutors. We hire the best learning coaches in the business and train them with our proven methodology. They are then armed with the highest quality materials to help support you. Get started today on reaching your academic goals.
