The primary purpose of an Enhanced Score Report is to help you improve your GMAT score when you retake the test. To do that you should have a sound understanding of the various elements of a GMAT ESR. You should not only know what the various elements mean but also know how to interpret them and leverage them to improve your GMAT score. In this article, we have explained the process of GMAT ESR analysis in detail. But, before moving forward take a look at this video to know more about the GMAT: \u00a0<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/aaLipHpWem0\" width=\"650\" height=\"365\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe> \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Here are the 3 key steps you should follow to analyze the GMAT Enhanced Score Report (ESR):<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Step 1 &#8211; Understand the GMAT Enhanced Score Report Structure<\/li>\n<li>Step 2 &#8211; Analyze Data in GMAT Enhanced Score Report<\/li>\n<li>Step 3 &#8211; Plan a Path to improvement<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-14851\" src=\"https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Screen-Shot-2018-08-28-at-11.50.20-1024x504.png\" alt=\"gmat enhanced score report analysis | how to analyze gmat enhanced score report\" width=\"800\" height=\"394\" srcset=\"https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Screen-Shot-2018-08-28-at-11.50.20-1024x504.png 1024w, https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Screen-Shot-2018-08-28-at-11.50.20-300x148.png 300w, https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Screen-Shot-2018-08-28-at-11.50.20-768x378.png 768w, https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Screen-Shot-2018-08-28-at-11.50.20-1080x532.png 1080w, https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Screen-Shot-2018-08-28-at-11.50.20.png 1746w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>These 3 steps can be understood with the help of the following information-<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"#understand-structure-of-ESR\">Understand the structure of the GMAT Enhanced Score Report<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#ESR-Analysis\">Enhanced Score Report (ESR) Analysis \u2013 the e-GMAT way<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#sectional-and-sub-sectional-abilities\">Analyze your sectional and sub-sectional abilities<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#GMAT-exam-progression-analysis\">Analyze your GMAT Exam progression<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#path-to-improvement\">Path to improvement<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#takeaways-ESR-Analysis\">Takeaways<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"understand-structure-of-ESR\">1.\u00a0\u00a0 Understand the structure of the GMAT Enhanced Score Report<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-14824 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/GMAT-Enhanced-Score-Report-Analysis-1.png\" alt=\"gmat enhanced score report analysis | how to analyze gmat enhanced score report\" width=\"548\" height=\"403\" srcset=\"https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/GMAT-Enhanced-Score-Report-Analysis-1.png 855w, https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/GMAT-Enhanced-Score-Report-Analysis-1-300x221.png 300w, https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/GMAT-Enhanced-Score-Report-Analysis-1-768x566.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 548px) 100vw, 548px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The GMAT ESR contains the following sections<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>GMAT Exam<\/li>\n<li>Integrated Reasoning<\/li>\n<li>Verbal<\/li>\n<li>Quantitative<\/li>\n<li>AWA<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>GMAT Exam<\/strong> \u2013 This section provides overall GMAT exam performance.

But is it a true representation of her ability? Looking at the tables, we can see that it is a true representation of her ability.<\/p>\n<p>She spent 1:46 on an average on each SC question which is more than the reference time of 1:20. Moreover, she spent on an average, more time on questions in Block 1 and 2. It\u2019s not that she rushed during these blocks. Therefore, we can conclude that her SC score is a true representation of her ability.<\/p>\n<h3>3.3.\u00a0 Takeaways<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>She is strong in CR (91 percentile), average in RC (68 percentile) and weak in SC (46 percentile).<\/li>\n<li>She is comfortable solving CR questions. However, she is spending less than the reference time on CR questions, and she must not rush through them.<\/li>\n<li>Her score in RC and SC is a direct consequence of her lack of ability in these sections and has nothing to do with time constraints of the test.<\/li>\n<li>Therefore, she must build her ability in RC and SC, so that she doesn\u2019t have to rush through the CR questions to save time to solve RC and SC questions.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/what-is-the-importance-of-gmat\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">All this effort into analyzing ESR will help you score high in the GMAT.
