Next Generation GMAT®
Changes are coming to the GMAT exam.
In June 2012, the GMAT exam will gain a new section
designed to measure your ability to evaluate information
from multiple sources. Next Generation GMAT will include
a new 30-minute Integrated Reasoning section that will
ask you to interpret data presented graphically, analyze
different types of information, and evaluate outcomes.
The GMAT Verbal, Quantitative and Total Scores will not
change. Test takers will receive a separate score for
the essay, as they do now, and for the new Integrated
Reasoning section. The overall length of the GMAT exam
(three and a half hours) will not change. When the
Integrated Reasoning section is added, the Analytical
Writing assessment will be streamlined to include only
one 30-minute essay prompt instead of two.
