The Next Generation GMAT® is coming.

The GMAT is scheduled to change formats in June 2012. The new format will be very similar to the existing format. The biggest change to the exam is the addition of a new section, called Integrated Reasoning. The Integrated Reasoning section replaces one of the Analytical Writing Assessment prompts on the exam. There are no planned changes to the Quantitative or Verbal sections of the GMAT®.

The Integrated Reasoning section requires information analysis, data interpretation and outcome evaluation. The section will provide test takers with data in a variety of formats, including graphs, charts, tables, and text.

The Integrated Reasoning will receive a separate score, similar to the Analytical Writing section of the GMAT. Verbal, Quantitative, and Total Scores will not change.

Integrated Reasoning Question Formats

Table Analysis

Information is presented in table format and test-takers are asked to determine the accuracy of statements made about the data. Test-takers are able to interact with the table in ways similar to a spreadsheet.

Graphics Interpretation

Test takers are provided with data in graph format and are asked to accurately complete statements by selecting responses from a drop-down list.

Multi-Source Reasoning

Information is provided in two or three sources using text, tables, and charts. Test takers are asked to determine which information is relevant and asked to answer questions based on the multiple sources.

Two Part Analysis

Test takers will be provided with data about two related items and will be asked to answer two components of an item.

What books do you use and why?

The Official Guide for GMAT Review, 13th Edition

  •  We use this book because it uses actual GMAT questions that are written by the same people who write and select the questions in the exam question pool.  This ensures that you are preparing for the test with material that closely matches questions you are likely to see on the exam.

 GMAT Student Manual

  •  Our student manual was written by professional test preparation experts who have years of experience writing exam questions, teaching test prep courses, and developing test prep courses. 
    • The student manual makes it easy to follow the instructor’s lessons and outlines a specifically designed, targeted practice program.

 Are practice tests included?

Yes. Access to practice exams and other online practice material is included with the course materials. Practice tests play an important role in our program and curriculum and students are expected to complete full length computerized practice exams at regularly scheduled times during the course.

  • We do not take up valuable classroom time with practice tests because we want to provide you with as much help as we can in the time we have together.  Our classes make the most of the student-instructor time.
  • Our instructors will review your practice test results with you.
