That changed this  week as the Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC) announced that  its \u201cOfficial GMAT\u201d app is now available on iOS devices. Think of it as a  portable, more interactive version of the <em>Official Guide for GMAT Review<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>The basic app costs $4.99, and gives users access to 50 questions. From  there, users can pay $9.99 each for additional sets of 250 verbal or  quant questions (or pay $9.99 for one blended set of 250 questions).<\/p>\n<p>We like the \u201cGame Center\u201d feature that enables users to see  how they are\u00a0 doing on questions compared to other app users.  It is always  helpful for students to see how they\u2019re doing vs. the competition. What  may seem like an easy question may in fact be hard (when looking at the  proportion of overall test takers who got it right or wrong), or vice  versa. Understanding where you stand like this is a terrific help. The app  also provides other tracking mechanisms so that test takers can see  whether or not they\u2019re improving over time.<\/p>\n<p>One thing to be aware of: This app duplicates the questions in the <em>Official Guide<\/em>.  GMAC goes out of its way to make this clear, but we wouldn't\u00a0 be shocked if more than a few students buy the app and are then  disappointed because they\u2019ve already seen the questions.<\/p>\n<p>You can read more about the Official GMAT iPhone app <a href=\"https:\/\/gmac.mediaroom.com\/index.php?s=53\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Ready to sign up for a GMAT course ?
