NEW! GMAT Focus™
We developed GMAT Focus™ in response to test takers’ request for more—and even more realistic—test-preparation tools. This online diagnostic tool for prospective students identifies quantitative strengths and abilities using real GMAT questions and a computer-adaptive process that mimics the GMAT exam
Unlike on the real test, the user can mark guessed answers as the diagnostic progresses. Because the GMAT is timed, this tool is also timed—but the user has the option to use as much time as needed.
GMAT Focus results show how closely their answers track to actual GMAT test-takers that achieved certain results. Armed with these results, prospective students can use their study time effectively to prepare for the GMAT exam—and for business school.
The Official Guide for GMAT Review, 11th Edition
This is the only GMAT review book that contains actual GMAT test questions and their answers. The book includes a brief diagnostic test to help prospective students focus their study on the areas where they need the most help. It also contains a comprehensive math review, a review of basic English grammar, practice questions in order from easiest to hardest, and test-taking tips and strategies.
The Official Guide for GMAT Quantitative Review
The Official Guide for GMAT Verbal Review
These supplemental guides are designed to give the prospective student even more practice with real GMAT exam questions, answers, and answer explanations not found in The Official Guide for GMAT Review, 11th Edition. Each contains more than 300 practice questions ordered from easiest to hardest and can be used on their own or in conjunction with the 11th Edition.
GMAT Paper Tests
GMAT Paper Tests are downloadable paper tests available in sets of three tests for U.S. $25.00. The tests are "retired" and no longer in circulation. More than half the questions in GMAT Paper Tests can't be found in any other GMAT test-prep materials. Some portions of the paper tests can be found in earlier versions of the Official Guide for GMAT Review. Each set of tests includes timed sections, an answer sheet, and a way to convert the raw score to the equivalent GMAT score.
To purchase the books or the GMAT Paper Tests, go to the mba.com Store. If you are interested in using any of them as a teaching aid and would like to purchase them for classroom material or to sell to your students, please send an e-mail estore@gmac.com.

Promoting the Value of Graduate Management Education
Assess Careers & the MBA is just one of the sections of mba.com, our Web site for prospective students, that encourages individuals from all kinds of backgrounds to learn how they could benefit from graduate business education. We offer licensed career information from Vault.com and Wetfeet.com, information about the advantages of early career-self assessment, and survey data that show how MBAs value their degrees. This part of the site also offers “Day in the Life” profiles of MBAs, showing that graduate degrees in business can open the door to a world of possibilities.
The mba.com site is written in a motivational tone to encourage users to investigate what the MBA can do for them. The site encourages those seriously considering getting an MBA to seek more detailed information from schools.
Focusing on the Application Process
Although there are many Web sites for people interested in graduate management education, mba.com focuses on the process of successfully applying to business school. It leads site visitors through the process of self-evaluation and career assessment, finding the right program (through such online tools as the MBA Pathfinder® school search database), preparing for and taking the GMAT exam, applying to and deciding on programs to attend, locating financial aid, and getting ready to enroll.
Creating a Well-Informed and Successful Applicant
Selecting the right program requires an understanding of the differences among programs and how the programs may or may not meet the applicant’s needs. The mba.com site encourages applicants to set school selection criteria of their own and find schools meet those criteria.
