Monday, May 4, 2009 More News...

Bangalore: Getting that much awaited foreign MBA degree has become tougher with Graduate Management Aptitude Test (GMAT), an essential test for admission to global business schools - including Harvard, Kellog and Wharton - with 33% more new questions. GMAT will now have 300 new questions in all the five sections, the highest marks allotted to data sufficiency.

Every year lakhs of students take GMAT every year for admission to over 1,900 B-schools all over the world including a few MBA schools in India. Nearly 20,000 students appear for the exam in India.

According to the new format, in the sentence-correction section, there is an extra emphasis on pronoun and modifier rules, while there is comparatively less focus on comparisons and idioms-related questions. Similarly, in the comprehension questions, the Graduate Management Admission Council - the global authority to prepare the test papers - has created a balance between short and long passages.

In the critical reasoning section, 50 old questions have been changed with 50 new ones. There has been a reduction of 19 questions in the problem-solving section.
