GMAT Focus Edition - Everything You Need to Know On March 8, 2023 GMAC has announced changes to the GMAT Exam and a new version of the exam called " GMAT Focus Edition " (official announcement link) Changes were vaguely described but here is what we know Timeline as of May 2, 2023: GMAT Focus Version available to take: Q4 2023 (as early as Oct but likely Dec, 2023) Registration for Focus opens – Aug 29, 2023 GMAT Prep for GMAT Focus Available – June 6 Old/Traditional GMAT will be available through Q1, 2024 AWA will be removed (official) SC will be removed (official) Quant will only contain PS Questions and DS will be a part of the Data Insights section. More IR will be added into the test 18 questions instead of 12 most likely (not official but Amazon screenshots from the OG prove this) The test will have 3 sections 45 mins each and will be a total of 2 hours and 15 mins long instead of 3 hours and 7 minutes today. No information on breaks or sections or questions at this point The sections confirmed via Amazon screenshot are Verbal, Quant, and IR New O G's announced: Problem Solving, Verbal, and Data Sufficiency Geometry is missing from quant review, so we can assume it will be removed (it is not present in EA either). Link with OG math review contents New deductive and inductive reasoning section added in table of contents (screenshot below) GMAT will remain to be adaptive but you are now able to go back and change answers on up to 3 questions per section. Lifetime and annual test limits of 8 and 5 remain in effect YouTube Panel about GMAT Focus GMAT & Admissions Expert Panel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P2Oz9XvKcoM We will be featuring a panel with experts GMATNinja , ApplicantLab , ManhattanPrep , and hosted by one of the GMAT Club's moderators and PM Interns and Darden 2024 Class MBA Student, MaliFri about what these changes mean, what you should do if you are preparing, and what does it mean for the GMAT. Amazon.com Screenshots courtesy of doublecool https://gmatclub.com/forum/download/file.php?id=70602 https://gmatclub.com/forum/download/file.php?id=70604 Screenshot-20230310-080143.jpg Comparison of Official Guide Editions: 2022 vs. 2023-2024 OG page 1 comparison.png OG page 2 comparison2.gif What does it mean for Test Takers? Immediately, it is likely noise and distraction and yet one more change to keep track of. This should not impact anyone applying for R1 or R2 next season. 1. The current test format will be available through early 2024, so if you were planning to take the GMAT, I would keep on working on your score. I am expecting that the rollout will be longer than expected and there will be delays so I can expect the original GMAT likely be administered for another year. 2. I don't expect the test to change too significantly. The only change that was announced was that the AWA section was removed. While there is a hint at making the test more data-focused and "tomorrow", that sounds a bit like the IR overview we heard back in 2012 3. Should you buy a course/book/GMAT Prep Practice tests? I think there are some opportunities and threats here. First of all, I would only buy now what you need. If you are planning to study for the GMAT, then get the books you need, get the OG, or courses. However, if you are not ready to take the GMAT yet, I would wait to purchase the GMAT Prep practice tests until you need them. Last time there was a system upgrade from old to new GMAT Prep platform, none of the progress was transferred. 4. Will the new test be easier? Maybe... Some feel EA is easier than the GMAT as it is shorter and you get through it faster. It is still competitive though and whatever skills you have learned on the GMAT, you can apply on the EA (it is Quant, Verbal, and IR). My Take on This Change: There have been rumblings about changing GMAT for a while. Pandemic has forced many changes upon schools and test prep. GMAT suffered during the pandemic and saw its test-taking volume go down 50% since 2018. GRE has been growing in popularity so changes were almost inevitable as the test has been under pressure to evolve. The big question about this transition will be on - what is being prioritized here? Will execution actually pull it off? 1. I am going to go out on a limb and say that the next 6 months will be confusing. Some people have been preparing for years to the GMAT, purchased books, etc, etc - vague announcements like these are going to confuse people and likely only shift people away from GMAT towards tests like EA or GRE 2. GMAT is becoming easier? Hard to tell yet but the messaging seems to imply it or at least market it as such. Anyone else got this feel? 3. We all have seen the execution of GMAT online and shift from GMAT Prep to a new platform. These were painful events. Execution has suffered in the past and I am hoping this will be a better transition that will be easier for test-takers. I am just thinking about comparing your scores from the 800-point test to the new test. Is the test scale going to be the same? This also means that if you are taking the test in the fall, you can take Full Test online, Full Test at a test center, Focused/short test online, or Focused/Short version at a test center. Lots of Choices... 4. No essay seems an interesting change in the world of ChatGPT but the AWA has been dead for a while... 5. 3 sections likely means Quant, Verbal, and IR of some sorts? It would be helpful if they were less mysterious 6. Not surprising GMAT is making changes since the test volume has gone down 50% in the past 3 years. But are these the right changes? 7. I think it would be better for the test to address online testing issues because no matter the length of the test and other changes, if the online test experience is subpar, it is subpar in both formats. 8. This means more confusion among applicants about the GMAT vs. GMAT Focused version vs. EA vs. GRE vs Whatever? 9. I feel that it is insufficient to provide just Official test materials since OG and Tests are such a small portion of the preparation experience and looking at the announcement from GMAC, it seems they are not recognizing the value and the contribution that test prep companies are providing to the success of the test takers and the test itself. I am looking at all the companies that have built courses, products, tests, etc that would have benefited from input and advance warning/notification so that they can launch/build products. Apple does that for their developers even so that they new version of iOS does not show up with out apps.... I feel this was a missed opportunity that would have been so easy to capitalize on. Speculations & Rumors (Officially Unconfirmed) One report (logical enough) indicates that the Sentence Correction portion of the test will be scrapped. This has not been officially confirmed by reported by doublecool Original Announcement sent to a Test Prep Company

Official guide 23-24( focus edition) does not include any fresh questions ?
Is it worth buying additional GMAT focus practice questions and review books ,or most of these questions are already posted on gmatclub ?
AjiteshArun

Hi Can,Will,

You could also consider getting one of the older official guides if you don't want to get the latest edition.

Hi DI section is DS+IR.

Just considering IR -
How many questions will be Quantative and how many Non Quantative?

Any insights on the question banks for Official prep mocks 3-6 for GMAT Focus?

As Mock 3 & Mock 4 are being sold in a bundle are their question banks common? As Mock 5, Mock 6 are being sold individually are their question banks separate?

Folks who have taken the mocks please help

Good question... I don't think we know or have a good way to find besides purchasing the tests twice and taking 4 tests. But wondering why do we want to know this? How would it help a test-taker?
I found the fact that 5 and 6 were sold separately to be odd as well. My guess is 3 & 4 may be separate as well just sold together

Ok. In that case it is no use to you. A person can reset the tests once getting 2 tests out of each test. Both of them will be unique so if you take the first test 5 and your wife takes the second one after the reset, they are going to be unique (or at least they are supposed to).

Hi All,
I am planning to write the GMAT Focus Edition and I am wondering what books to buy to prep for it, especially the Data Insights section since that's new. The guide doesn't seem to have practice questions for table analysis, 2 part analysis, etc. I am getting confused since some people mention that I don't need any new guides for the focus edition

I have the 2022 official GMAT guides

Hi MBA_Asp_2026,

The official guides include a code that you can use to access all the questions (on a Wiley website), including the ~IR questions that aren't in the main guide.

Hi MBA_Asp_2026,

You can absolutely use the older editions for quant and verbal (skipping SC and geometry, of course). For DI: (a) you can use the IR component of the previous guides, but (b) keep in mind that the DS in the latest guide seems to be limited to ~applied math (so DS from the older guides may not be very representative).

Experts like KarishmaB, IanStewart, and avigutman would be in a better position to confirm that last point about DS.

NO. DI questions in GMAT are nowhere close to CAT DI questions.
Unlike GMAT DI ques, CAT DI ques are much varied with no specific pattern, basically you can't expect anything in there.
DI in GMAT are either non-verbal based or verbal based.
In non-verbal based questions, you will have quant or graph based questions.
Graph based questions are relatively easy, but bit tiring in terms of calculations. You will have to sift through tons of garbage info.
Verbal questions test your RC/CR skills, bit challenging than non-verbal based.

Due to popular demand, I've written a free GMAT Focus Study Plan (in Google Document form) that anyone can use.

As always, my main focus is on official GMAC Materials--especially the 1,000 or so new GMAT Focus questions!

I also plan to soon update my free e-book, Master the GMAT, for the GMAT Focus Edition—including an improved and expanded chapter on Data Insights / Integrated Reasoning-style questions.

Any questions, comments, criticisms, etc., please let me know.

Hi Can,Will,

Good question! Unfortunately, it was a great disappointment to me as a GMAT tutor to discover that not one of the roughly 1,400 official GMAT Focus practice questions in the 2023-2024 OGs is new.

That said, the GMAT Focus Edition has barely changed—it has simply lost a few classic GMAT question types (SC, AWA, non-coordinate geometry). As a GMAT student, the fact that all the questions in the '23-24 books are recycled classic GMAT questions shouldn't be an obstacle whatsoever—so long as these questions are new to you, that's all that matters.

I do have good news, however: as far as I can tell, nearly all of the roughly 1,000 official practice questions in the 2 Free and 4 Paid GMAT Focus Official Practice Exams, and the GMAT Focus Official Practice Questions are new / created specifically for the GMAT Focus. This is where I get my "approximately 1,000 new GMAT Focus questions" figure.

6 Official GMAT Focus Practice tests x (64 questions/test) = 384 new questions

GMAT Official Practice Questions = ~300 new questions

Additional questions that you don't see on the 6 official tests due to section and question adaptivity: ? questions (probably another 300 or so new questions). Access these questions by retaking / resetting the exams, and/or using GMAT Club: there is no GMAT Focus tag, so instead, search for questions that have only been posted within the last year.

GMAT Focus additional practice questions that are actually just repurposed classic GMAT questions from over a decade ago = unknown

Total = ~1,000 new GMAT Focus questions

A weird question, I invest a lot of time ~7-11 minutes to solve an MSR set of 3 questions with 3 sub-questions each (3x3 sub-questions). Hence, I suffer to complete it on time when I am faced with two MSR sets on a mock. Hence, I was thinking of answering the second MSR in the review section, when I am done with all the other questions - Selecting anything whenever I see the second MSR and get back to it towards the end.

Questions
1. Does MSR questions have an enhanced weightage? Want to know can this strategy backfire by not giving me enough higher-level questions?
2. Can I correct just three sub-questions in the review screen or 3 answers (implying 9 sub-questions, basically the entire set)?

I can test out the second scenario but in none of the two mocks, I had time towards the end of the DI section.

So we bid farewell to the peculiar and pointless world of GMAT SC (pointless except for purposes of the GMAT, of course).

Between learning vocabulary for the GRE and learning grammar 'rules' for the GMAT, the former is likely to be much more use.
One would expect that preparing for SC would improve the learner's comprehension abilities and writing skills -- but I did not see much of that happening.
