Scoring Pattern |
|
| |
Your Verbal, Quantitative and Total GMAT scores are determined by a complex mathematical procedure that takes into account the difficulty level of the questions that were presented to you and how you answered them. The total composite score is out of 800. Your analytical Writing Assessment (AWA) essays are graded on a scale of 0 to 6. There are two essays, each evaluated by two readers (one human and one computer). ETS averages the four scores and rounds to the nearest half point. Your AWA score does not count towards your composite score. |
