GMAT Preparation Applications on iPhones, iPads

Here’s some good news for those candidates who are preparing for a GMAT exam. For the very first time, the candidates can prepare for the GMAT exam using actual questions from past exams directly from their iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad. How cool is that?! Candidates can prepare for the exam through an app called the “Official GMAT” app, which is launched by the Graduate Management Admission Council, makers of the GMAT exam. This app is a portable, mobile version of the Official Guide to the GMAT Review book series and includes features that make preparing for the GMAT more handy and fun. Through the Game Center feature, you can compare your practice-exam results instantly with other “Official GMAT” app users. In this app, there will be – • Hundreds of official GMAT test questions and full answer explanations from the makers of the GMAT exam. • Question timer to check on the time as research suggests that proper pacing is important to completing the GMAT. • Take practice exams when you want with the two modes of operation, “Exam” and “Practice,” which allows you to focus on individual questions. • Reminder on exam date “countdown”. • You performance on each “mini-exam” can be tracked using the performance tracking center, so that you can check if you’re improving. Your guesses can be tracked too, this is important because your score can suffer if you leave questions blank on the GMAT, which is given in a computer-adaptive format. • More practice questions can be added as you move on and “in app”. • It’s integrated with social media sites such as the Official GMAT blog, Twitter and Facebook. • Users can register on mba.com directly from the app in order to compare schools, explore financing options, register for the GMAT and find other prep materials. The executive vice president of the GMAT division at GMAC says, “There is plenty to like about the “Official GMAT” app. No other app gives you access to real questions from the GMAT exam as well as fun way to keep your skills sharp and connect with others who are getting ready for the exam. The Official GMAT app also opens doors to an array of tools and services that can help you not only prepare for the exam but also get ready for business school.” The “Official GMAT” app joins a family of test prep options available on multiple platforms from GMAC, including GMAT Paper Tests, free GMATPrep software and the recently released digital talking book version of the Official Guide.
