<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The GMAT<\/span>\u00ae<\/span> Official Practice Exams have been updated for the new (<\/span>shorter<\/span><\/a>!) test format\u2014and that\u2019s not all!<\/span><\/p>\n The GMAT official practice exams platform has been moved online and the whole look and feel has been updated. We do lose the ability to take an exam offline, but we gain so many other benefits that the trade-off is worth it.<\/span><\/p>\n First, you can access the GMAT official practice exams and questions from your mba.com account. You don\u2019t need to download any separate software and you don\u2019t have to worry about any compatibility issues with your OS or device\u2014and, yes, you can access the platform from tablets. You\u2019ll be able to access the material from Safari, Firefox, Chrome, or Internet Explorer. <\/span><\/p>\n Second, we can now take GMAT official practice exams in the updated format (31 Quant questions and 36 Verbal questions)! The old software (known as GMATPrep) is still in the old format and it will never be updated\u2014it\u2019ll just quietly fade into the sunset.<\/span><\/p>\n Nope, now it\u2019s called the GMAT Official Practice Exams and Questions. The free part is now called the Free GMAT Official Starter Kit + Practice Exams 1 & 2.<\/span><\/p>\n I just logged into my own mba.com account and, boom, it was already right there waiting for me under My Product Purchases. (You can also find it \u201cfor sale\u201d for $0 on the website\u2019s store page\u2026but I didn\u2019t even go there.)<\/span><\/p>\n There are also these paid products:<\/span><\/p>\n GMAT Official Practice Exams 3 & 4 (formerly Exam Pack 1)<\/span><\/p>\n GMAT Official Practice Exams 5 & 6 (formerly Exam Pack 2)<\/span><\/p>\n GMAT Official Practice Questions (formerly Question Pack 1)<\/span><\/p>\n All of the above exist in GMATPrep as well\u2014they\u2019re the same products, just renamed.<\/span><\/p>\n Exam #2 (the second of the two free exams) used to have the same IR questions as Exam #1, but now exam 2 has its own dedicated set of IR problems. Yay!<\/span><\/p>\n Other than that, the content is the same (though there are some new features in terms of doing and tracking questions\u2014more on that in another post at a future date). This is really more a platform upgrade than anything else (and, of course, the upgrade to the new test format).<\/span><\/p>\n This is important: Any data you\u2019ve accumulated in GMATPrep will <\/span>not<\/b> transfer over to the new platform. So you do have to make a choice about whether you want to switch.<\/span><\/p>\n If you\u2019re pretty close to the end of your studies and have a lot of data already built up in GMATPrep, then you may not want to switch. You can either use Manhattan Prep\u2019s exams if you want to take exams under the new format or you can just still take the old format under GMATPrep, if you like. The per-question timing averages are still the same; the test is just longer.<\/span><\/p>\n If your test date isn\u2019t coming up soon, though, then I\u2019d say it\u2019s a good idea to switch. You might as well practice under the new official format for the test.<\/span><\/p>\n You can switch your product registration to the new online platform. Take a look at <\/span>the official FAQ page<\/span><\/a> to learn how to do so. That page also has all of the details in terms of how long your access will last and so on.<\/span><\/p>\n Same rules apply: Your data won\u2019t transfer, so don\u2019t make the switch if you\u2019re pretty close to done, don\u2019t want to lose existing data, and don\u2019t mind taking practice exams in the old format. If that\u2019s not the case, then switch to the new platform.<\/span><\/p>\n That\u2019s all for now! I\u2019m going to go try the new IR problems in exam 2.<\/span><\/p>\n Happy studying! <\/span>\u263a<\/span><\/p>\n Can\u2019t get enough of Stacey\u2019s GMAT mastery?
