\"\"<\/a>GMAC has posted a FAQ page<\/a> on their website www.MBA.com<\/a> regarding the upcoming Next Generation GMAT (which basically means the same ol\u2019 GMAT<\/a> with one less essay and one more section in its place).\u00a0 For those who have no idea what I\u2019m going on about, have a look at www.testchange.com<\/a> and my blog thread<\/a> for a lot more info.<\/p>\n

Q)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 When is the last day I can take the current version of the GMAT exam?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Think forward, act now.\u00a0 It is time to start prepping<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
