Anyone who wishes to enter any MBA or IMD program in which the language of instruction is English (including Turkey !) needs to take the GMAT.  Also, students who wish to pursue a Master of Science may find a GMAT score helpful.

The  GMAT measures basic verbal, mathematical and analytical writing skills that you have developed over a long period of time in your education and work.

The GMAT is broken down into several question and essay types:

PROBLEM SOLVING:

Of  37 math questions, about 20 will ask the student to solve difficult problems.  Topics range from geometry and algebra to difficult probability and permutation.

DATA SUFFICIENCY:

Of 37 Math questions, about 17 will ask the student to determine how much information is needed to answer a particular question.

READING COMPREHENSION:

Medium-length passages that cover a variety of academic topics are followed by questions that ask the student to analyze the passage's content.  The test-taker will have to use the information in the passage to make judgment's on a variety of issues.  About 12 of the 41 Verbal questions are of this type.

CRITICAL REASONING:

The student is asked to analyze arguments and assess the validity of the claims they make.  These 12 questions demand that the student be intimately familiar with the structure of logical arguments.

SENTENCE CORRECTION:

These 18 questions ask the student to complete a sentence by choosing from among five answer choices.  Sentence Corrections test the student's knowledge of English grammar and usage.

ANALYSIS OF ARGUMENT ESSAY:

In 30 minutes, the student must study a written argument or example of reasoning, and then comment on how effective it is, noting what it does wrong and how it could be improved.

ANALYSIS OF ISSUE ESSAY:

Total GMAT scores range from 200 to 800. Two-thirds of test takers score between 400 and 800. The Verbal and Quantitative scores range from 0 to 60. Scores below 9 and above 44 for the Verbal section or below 7 and above 50 for the Quantitative section are rare. Both scores are on a fixed scale and can be compared across any GMAT administration.

Unofficial scores from the Verbal and Quantitative multiple-choice sections, along with the Total score, are available immediately after you complete the test. Official GMAT score reports, which include the AWA score, will be mailed to you and your designated score report recipients (schools you specify) approximately two weeks after the test.

Official GMAT score results are kept on file for 20 years. However, most schools will not accept scores that are more than 5 years old.

Our course addresses each of the GMAT topics completely:

We simply offer the best and most complete analysis and instruction in Sentence Correction and Critical Reasoning you can find in Turkey !  You will learn more about English grammar better than 90% of American native speakers already know and will practice analytical skills and techniques that will not only help you on the GMAT, but also in business school and business.

Our Reading instruction teaches you how to get the most information from the least amount of text read.  Work smarter, not harder!

Our Math instruction covers every topic on the test from beginning to end.  We include both techniques designed specifically for the GMAT and normal mathematics instruction.

Hundreds of practice questions in each of these areas will re-inforce what you learn in the classroom.

The questions below are samples of some of the types you will see on the test.

SENTENCE CORRECTION:

1. It has been estimated that each month over the next year jobs numbering in the several thousands at internet companies will be lost owing to cash shortages resulting from previous irrational exuberance in hiring at these firms.

(A) each month over the next year jobs numbering in the several thousands at internet companies will be lost owing to shortages in cash caused by previous irrational exuberance in hiring at these firms.  

(B) over the next year each month several thousand jobs at internet companies could be lost due to cash shortages spawned by irrationally exuberant hiring policies exercised over the previous year.

(C) jobs numbering in the several thousands at internet companies will be lost each month over the next year due to cash shortages caused by irrationally exuberant hiring policies exercised over the year previous.

(D) several thousand jobs at internet companies could be lost each month over the next year owing to shortages of cash driven by previous irrational exuberance in hiring at these firms.

(E) several thousand jobs at internet companies will be lost each month over the next year due to cash shortages caused by irrationally exuberant hiring policies exercised over the previous year.

2. The business's decision on whether or not to go public in the next quarter ultimately depends on if its forecasted earnings are realized.

(A)       ultimately depends on if its forecasted earnings are realized.

(B)       depend ultimately on whether its earnings forecast is realized or not.

(C)       depends ultimately on if its earnings forecast is realized.

(D)        ultimately depends on whether its forecasted earnings are realized.

(E)         ultimately depend on whether or not its earnings forecast are realized.

CRITICAL REASONING:

1. An easy method by which to stimulate increased worker productivity is to reduce their intake of caffeine.  Although caffeine stimulates worker productivity for short periods of time, its overall effects on productivity are deleterious.  A recent study of employees at two firms that each produce electrical supplies has found that by replacing regular coffee with decaffeinated coffee, workers alertness over the last two hours of their shifts increased 6.3%.  

Which of the following throws the greatest shadow on the effectiveness of the plan proposed?

(A)     Workers addicted to caffeine may simply switch from regular coffee to caffeinated soft drinks.

(B)     There is no proven correlation between increased worker productivity and profits.

(C)     These studies only measured productivity in terms of electrical units produced. Any changes in worker  effectiveness, that is, their accuracy in completing their tasks, were not considered.

(D)     Another study has proven that workers deprived of their usual caffeine intake will suffer decreased productivity  during the middle of their shifts.

(E)     Workers wishing to enjoy a stimulant may switch to smoking, causing the company's health care costs to increase and profits to decrease.

QUANTITATIVE:

 1.       At a gymnastics meet, Suzie received 7 scores, each greater than zero. 

 If the average of those scores is x points, the sum of her four highest scores could be  

(A)                8x

(B)                6x

(C)                7x/4

(D)                4x/3

2.       In a certain city each of 20 Girl Scout troops is represented by a colored flag. Each flag consists of either a single color or a pair of two different colors.  If each troop has a different flag, what is the minimum number of colors needed for the flags.  (Assume that the order of colors in a pair on a flag does not matter.)  

(A)                5

(B)                6

(C)                8

(D)                15
