Why is GMAC developing the Next Generation GMAT after 50 years of using the same test?
Significant advances in technology and measurement have given us new techniques, methodologies, and applications for measuring skills now in the exam—as well as new skills. At the same time, the business marketplace and business schools and students have changed considerably over the past few years, and that change will continue. The pool of test takers, for example, is more international, younger (with more undergraduates), and more diverse in culture and gender. As a result, we have decided that the time is right for an innovative approach to the GMAT exam, one that builds on its solid foundation.
