New GMAT exam structure

Easy. You can only take GMAT Focus. The older version has been discontinued on February 1. so there’s no choice in the versions of the test but you do have a choice to take it either online at home or at the test center. The test center is usually recommended unless you have scheduling or logistical issues but frankly you don’t need to worry about that as you’re just starting out. You can decide that much closer to your finish line.

Second Part of the question:

There have been primarily three major and one minor change to the test which coincides with three removals and one minor addition.

1. The essay section removal
2. Removal of the sentence correction question type, also known as grammar, from the verbal section
3. Removal of the geometry from the quantitative section
4. Addition of the new logic based data sufficiency questions. This is the only addition so far. This is the minor part.

That sums up the syllabus or content tested. They have obviously been many other changes to the length of the test, making it shorter, change of additional options of section order, both of those positive changes. Change on score reporting and the fact that you no longer need to cancel your scores or reinstate them. But the most impactful changes you need to Know about are outlined above…. If my memory serves me right 😇
