GMAC is pleased to introduce The Official Guide for GMAT Review 12th Edition, The Official Guide for GMAT Quantitative Review 2nd Edition, and The Official Guide for GMAT Verbal Review 2nd Edition as Digital Talking Books in October 2010.

In our continuing commitment to creating access to graduate management education, we have worked with gh, LLC, an assistive technology company, to offer the official guide series in an accessible format for test takers with visual impairments and reading-based disabilities. Our Official Guide series are the first high-stakes test-prep materials to use the cutting-edge mathspeak technology, providing the user with access to complex math questions and verbal descriptions of diagrams and equations.

The Official Guide series Digital Talking Books, delivered via the Readhear player created by gh, provide a high-quality end user experience. The Readhear player has been recently licensed by Recording for the Blind & Dyslexic.

From the start, we also worked with the National Center for Accessible Media and other organizations to facilitate user testing and ensure that these groundbreaking products meet real user needs. NCAM developed the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) guidelines for describing images.

The Official Guide for GMAT Review 12th Edition, The Official Guide for GMAT Quantitative Review 2nd Edition, and The Official Guide for GMAT Verbal Review 2nd Edition Digital Talking Books will be made available upon request to test takers with accommodations needs for the same price as the printed guides.
