GMAT® is a Computer Adaptive Test which indicates that the test adapts itself to the correctness / incorrectness of your responses. The first few questions in the Verbal and the Quantitative sections are of moderate difficulty. With correct responses, the level of difficulty increases, and conversely, with incorrect responses the level of difficulty decreases. The score does not depend only on the number of correct and incorrect answers. It also depends on the difficulty level of the questions encountered. The weightage for tougher questions is more than that for easier questions. The test is administered on the computer and the questions have to be tackled in the order in which they appear; you cannot skip a question. Neither can you revert to an earlier question to change the answer. The final score will be in multiples of 10. It is essential that all questions are completed as there is a heavy penalty for the questions not attempted. These factors make time management very critical in GMAT® .

There is No explicit negative marking. But, the adaptive algorithm takes into account your performance on the previous questions.

You can send your official scores to 5 programs on the GMAT test date prior to the start of the exam. For additional score reporting, you will need to pay an additional fee per score recipient and send scores online from your login.
