Scoring Range

Scoring Range: 1 to 8 points in intervals of 1

Competitive Score: A score of 5 to 8 points is competitive

B School evaluation criteria

The integrated reasoning section was introduced in the GMAT

since July 2012. B schools use this score in conjunction with your

scores in the quant and in the verbal sections. While an 8 on 8

may not be reason enough for a school to give you an admit, a 3

on 8 could be a strong reason to deny you an admit.

these questions and familiarize yourself with the different question

types.

Invest adequate time in this section to score over 5.

However, do not spend disproportionately high amount of time to

max your scores in this section. There may not be too much of a

difference a B school may perceive between a 6 and an 8 in this

section.

Scoring Range

Maximum Possible: A score of 51 is the maximum

Competitive Score: A score of 50 is competitive for Asian test

takers. Settle for nothing less than 49 points (79th percentile in

TY2015).

B-School evaluation criteria

A good number of B-Schools expect a student to exhibit a

balanced performance in the quant and in the verbal section.

While the higher ranked B-schools might expect a 90th percentile

in both sections, many good schools will expect their students to

have over 80 percentile in each section.

It is relatively easier to get a higher score in the quant section of

the GMAT than the verbal section. The flip side to the argument is

that it therefore, becomes imperative to have a high score in the

quant section.

If you are one of the students who fares better in the quant

section compared to the verbal section, invest adequate effort to

maximize your quant score and keep your head above water in the

verbal section.

Many test takers invest disproportionately high fraction of time in

improving their verbal scores and ignore the quant section (which

is their strong area). Do not let that happen to you if you are better

at quant than at the verbal.

You have the option to take a break before proceeding to the next

section. It might be a good idea to take the break to sip water, use

the rest room and stretch a bit and come back rejuvenated.

4. Verbal Reasoning – Types of Questions

01 About a third of the questions are of this type.

Sentence CorrectionA part of the sentence or the entire sentence is underlined. You need to select from the 5 choices the one that best fits the underlined part of the sentence.

02 About another third of the questions are of this type. Passages from a wide spectrum of topics

Reading ComprehensionPassages not exceeding 350 words. 2 to 4 questions per passage. Answer the questions solely based on what is given in the passage.

03 Another third of the questions are of this type. Based on logically valid arguments.

Reading ComprehensionPassages not exceeding 350 words. 2 to 4 questions per passage. Answer the questions solely based on what is given in the passage.

Critical ReasoningShort arguments of about 80 to 100 words. Strengthen / weaken an argument type of questions.

Scoring Range

Competitive Score: A score of 40 (91st percentile in TY2015) in

the verbal section is competitive. Settle for nothing less than 36

points in this section.

Competitive Score: A score of 40 (91st percentile in TY2015) in

the verbal section is competitive. Settle for nothing less than 36

points in this section.

It is relatively tougher to get a high score in the verbal section of

the GMAT than the quant section. The brighter side to the scenario

is that even a score of 36 is competitive in the verbal section.

Of the three types of questions that appear in the GMAT verbal

section, preparing for the Sentence Correction and Critical

Reasoning is more structured than the preparation for Reading

Comprehension.

Widen your reading habit. Invest in a subscription to an online

magazine such as Scientific American and or the Economist and

read at least three articles from each every day to crack the RC in

the GMAT.
