The GMAT has evolved to reflect the rapidly changing business landscape, redesigned in partnership with leading business schools and prospective business school candidates.
GMAC was able to identify several driving themes to inform the direction that led to the updated exam after speaking with over 60 school professionals representing a wide mix of program types and sizes at schools from around the world and in-depth concept testing with nearly 5400 candidates globally representing a mix of demographic characteristics.
By honing in on the higher-order critical reasoning skills and data literacy especially relevant and applicable in the business environment of tomorrow, the GMAC Focus Edition is more efficient, flexible and insightful.
The GMAT Focus Edition was created from the ground up with candidates in mind. It is almost an hour shorter than the current GMAT and requires less preparation time because it only has three 45-minute sections and no essay.
The Question Review & Edit feature, increased candidate score sending control and flexibility, and more section order selection options are all improvements to the candidate experience.
In order to evaluate their strengths and areas of focus after the exam, candidates can take advantage of detailed insights provided by an improved Official Score Report.
To facilitate the candidate’s in-progress preparation and application for business schools, the current version of the GMAT will continue to be available to candidates until early next year.
