Your GMAT score helps business schools evaluate your academic readiness for an MBA or business master’s program because it is an indicator of preparedness for the rigors of graduate business school. Taking the GMAT is also a clear sign to admissions committees that you take your education and future business career seriously.


Business schools evaluate your GMAT score as part of a holistic review process. While a GMAT score will help you stand out in the admissions process, there are other important aspects admissions officers evaluate on your application, such as your job skills, leadership experience, and motivation for applying.

Specifically, however, GMAT scores help schools evaluate applicants as an objective measure of skills, readiness, and preparedness.

Ultimately, schools want to make sure you are a fit both academically and personally, and that you will both contribute and benefit from the business school experience

It’s absolutely possible. In fact, repeat test taker data shows that retesting can boost your score by 20-30 points on average.
