Gmat - Softcover

GMAT testing has changed recently and will require different strategies on the part of test-takers. Barron's has kept pace, releasing this thoroughly revised and updated test prep manual with a recommended optional software program for Windows "RM". The old pencil-and-paper version of the GMAT has been phased out except in certain areas outside the United States. The old format has been replaced by an entirely new computer-adaptive test format. Just as important to test-takers, Educational Testing Service's previous practice of announcing nationally scheduled test dates no longer applies. Test-takers are now directed to schedule for testing individually by phoning Educational Testing Service at (609) 921-9000.Barron's new GMAT manual explains the new computer-adaptive test format in detail, and the optional software offers practice tests that utilize a scoring algorithm similar to that of the actual GMAT. The book offers printed versions of a diagnostic exam to test strengths and weaknesses plus 00 full-length model tests, all with answers and explanations. The manual also presents extensive reviews and test-taking advice for all test topics. They include essay-writing, critical reasoning, reading comprehension, sentence correction, problem solving, and data sufficiency. Barron's manual may be purchased alone, or as a package with the highly recommended software program, which is the only way for students to simulate actual test-taking conditions. The software contains 00 model tests, with answers, explanations, and the automatic scoring feature
