Technology to help GMAT preparations

Updated on: Saturday, May 14, 2011

B-school aspirants preparing for the globally accepted GMAT (Graduate Management Admission Test) may not need to thumb through heavy textbooks and question banks. They can soon download the preparation material as an application on iPhones, iPods or even iPads, thanks to a tie-up between GMAT and Apple. The application will allow students to solve questions in the official GMAT test preparation book, including questions that have appeared in previous GMAT exams, on an Apple device. It will also give them a chance to appear for mock tests and compare scores with others around the world who are also using the GMAT application. The application will have an inbuilt timer to help students keep pace while writing the test.

The device will even track a student’s performance over time. The application is integrated with social media sites such as GMAT’s official blog, as well as its Twitter and Facebook profile. TOI had access to a test version of the application on an iPhone. GMAT has provided Apple with all the necessary inputs and the company is working on introducing the application soon.
