GMAT Facts Infographic

by garmahis » Fri May 10, 2013 7:08 am
GMAT Facts is a nicely designed compilation of various information about GMAT in one place: test format, average scores, fees, study times, top U.S. schools scores, etc.

Most of this information would be very useful for beginners but some facts are interesting even for those familiar with the GMAT.

Two things.

1/
The "600+ score received" part is ambiguous; it's not clear what those percentages represent.
Do they mean...
... Of students who studied for this long, here's the % scoring over 600?
or...
... Of students scoring 600+, here are the %'s who studied for X amount of time?

Those would be very different indeed. If it's the latter, then it doesn't mean anything at all, other than that the # of people studying for longer is probably greater than the # of people studying for less time.

2/
"600 is minimum GMAT score [sic] for top ranked [sic] business school"
--> False. I've had tutoring students who were admitted to Stanford GSB and HBS, among others, with GMAT scores below 600. (Of course, there were other outstanding features of their applications.)
Also, a quick glance at the schools' pages will show GMAT ranges starting below 600.
