The GMAT® Enhanced Score Report (ESR) allows test takers to be in control of their performance by giving them an in-depth review of their scores and insight into their test-taking skills. 

![GMAC Advisor_IMAGE 5_February 2018-1](https://blog.gmac.com/hs-fs/hubfs/GMAC%20Advisor_IMAGE%205_February%202018-1.jpg?width=636&name=GMAC%20Advisor_IMAGE%205_February%202018-1.jpg)

And, ever since its launch in 2015, the ESR continues to evolve by constantly enhancing features that provide better ways to leverage test experience and improve understanding of GMAT exam performance.

The latest enhancements include a detailed level of performance by fundamental skills in the verbal and quantitative sections. Test takers can now go a step deeper and gain a better understanding of how to prepare in skills such as critical reasoning, sentence correction, geometry, rates/ration/percent and counting/sets/series.

**Expanded Categories in Verbal Section**

This chart goes into further depth of the sub-section rankings and time management for verbal.  With the new expanded view, test-takers can see where they stand in specific areas, what areas they are strong in and what areas need more improvement.

** ****Expanded Categories in Quantitative Section**

The skills view in the quantitative section is expanded in areas such as geometry, rates/ratio/percent, and counting/set/series. The further details in this section allows the test taker to see exactly how they performed on specific questions and whether they are strong or weak in particular topics.

With the addition of these new features, the GMAT® ESR will help candidates better understand their performance, its potential impact on graduate school applications and help them focus their study efforts for a future sitting of the exam.
