Hello Folks,
Just saw the new updates regarding GMAT focus on the GMAC website.
The R-2 deadline for the colleges(mainly ISB) I am targeting is generally December 1st week.
According to the notification, the new GMAT format should roll out in Q4-2023 and in that case I would totally want to consider writing the GMAT FOCUS EDITION( I am good at Quants, and this edition seems to give a bit more weightage to quants).
I am currently using TTP for my preparations.
Do you think that would be a good idea, will the exam in the Focus edition get harder? and how should I continue my preparations in that case?

Perhaps make a final decision when the Focus Edition prep comes out in late Q2. Things may become a bit more clear regarding the new format/exam.

Hi yaygmat.
I doubt the GMAT Focus edition will be harder than the current GMAT. However, there is a possibility that the Quant section will be a little harder since people's Quant scores on the current GMAT have been bunching up near the top of the range. So, it's possible that GMAC will make the Quant section a little harder to attempt to address that issue.
Meanwhile there will still be Verbal questions in the Verbal section of new GMAT and in the DI section. So, you'll still have to be strong in Verbal to achieve your score goal.
So, your could do your best to prepare for the current GMAT, and see how it goes. Most of your prep will apply to the new GMAT as well. So, it's not as if you'd be wasting time by preparing for the current GMAT. You could perhaps leave SC an Geometry for the end of your preparation to keep your options open.
For a detailed discussion of the expected differences between the tests, see this post.
