The Next Evolution of the GMAT

Redesigned in partnership with leading business schools and prospective business school candidates, the GMAT has evolved to reflect the rapidly changing business landscape. The GMAT Focus Edition continues the legacy of being the only graduate business entrance exam that uncovers motivated and qualified candidates who will be successful in the classroom and beyond by:

  • Providing a significantly more valid prediction of a candidate’s ability to succeed in the business school classroom than the GRE General Test.
  • Assessing relevant skillsets, such as data analytics, that are increasingly in-demand in today’s business environment.

Flexible

Improvements to the candidate experience include the introduction of the Question Review & Edit feature, more candidate score sending control and flexibility, and increased options for section order selection.

Insightful

After the exam, candidates can leverage detailed insights through an improved Official Score Report to assess their strengths and focus areas.
