The Graduate Management Admissions Council (GMAC), which owns the GMAT exam, announced this month that it will soon release an “Official GMAT” mobile app that will combine online gaming with GMAT test prep. The new app will allow prospective test takers to answer questions retired from the actual GMAT exam and see how they measure up against others using the app.
“No other app gives you access to retired questions from the GMAT exam as well as a fun way to keep your skills sharp and connect with others who are getting ready for the exam,” Peg Jobst, executive vice president of the GMAT division at GMAC, said in a statement. “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 mobile app will soon be available on iTunes for the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad. In addition to adding the game element to test prep, the new app also includes several serious features to help prospective test takers prepare, including a question timer to practice keeping pace, a performance tracking center to chart improvement, full answer explanations for every question, and “Exam” and “Practice” modes allowing test takers to focus on individual questions and take mini practice exams whenever they want.
The price for the “Official GMAT” app is $4.99 for 50 questions. Supplemental packs with 250 additional questions will be available for $9.99.
