GMAT CAT exam format

by maia » Thu Sep 11, 2008 11:41 am
Hello all,
Does the CAT format remain the same for all test takers ? Is it always

1) AWA's
Break
2) Verbal
Break
3) Quants

Also can one not report score to any schools. I want to take a GMAT test sometime soon depending on prep, but do not want to apply for B-school for another couple of years.
Thanks,
Maia

yes, it is AWA, then Quant, then Verbal, and this series remains constant for all test-takers.

i believe you do have the choice of not specifying any schools to receive your scores.

As the above poster said, that is indeed the order for everyone.

I can confirm that you do not have to report your scores at this point; you do get four schools for free if you report the scores during your actual GMAT, but you don't have to. You'll just have to pay the score report fee later.

Good luck!
