Welcome news; thanks for sharing, Leah! I think we can all agree that a shorter GMAT with fewer experimental questions--from 23 experimentals (25.6% of questions) to 12 experimentals (15.2% of questions)--is an easier, fairer GMAT.

Any test takers of 16th April, pl post your valuable feedback on the new pattern.
Especially, do let us know how many RCs did you see? 3 RCs or 4? Is there an even split between CR/RC/SC?
Thanks

GMAC has already indicated that there will be 4 RC passages on the new GMATPrep software, so it is logical to conclude that there are still 4 passages on the new GMAT as well. However, I agree that it would be nice to have some confirmation of this.

EDIT: We now have confirmation that there are still 4 Reading Comprehension passages are on the new, shorter GMAT!
