You Can Now Re-Order GMAT Exam Sections

That sounds great. If we have already booked our GMAT date in August 2017, will we be able to customize the sections or its only for those who book the date after or on July 11, 2017?

Yeah, I was thinking about this too since I've already booked my date. It should be available to us but I'd still contact GMAC for confirmation.

Let me know what their reply would be. But I think if this will be implemented on July 11, 2017, the structure would be updated for all the tests afterwards.

But still it's better to be sure.

Also do you have any idea how this will change the scoring? As till now we have seen that verbal plays an important role because it's towards the end of the test. Now how will scoring change?

Obviously a great move.

How long it will take for Veritas /Manhattan/ Kaplan GMAT to incorporate these changes in their online CAT platform ?

Since, there are two additional options available, test taker need to make sure that he/she consider one that works best for him or her. So, one or two practice CAT in different order is important before deciding which one to choose (#2 or #3).

Regards,

It's a great news for all the test takers . I wonder why did it take GMAC so long after the pilot program in the beginning of last year .

You will select the section order at the test center. The Select Section Order screen will be presented on the computer after you select the schools to send your score report, after the navigation tutorial, and immediately prior to beginning your GMAT exam.

You will be presented with the three section order options below and you will have two minutes to make a selection. If you do not make a selection within two minutes, the original order will be selected as a default.

• Analytical Writing Assessment, Integrated Reasoning, Quantitative, Verbal (original order)
• Verbal, Quantitative, Integrated Reasoning, Analytical Writing Assessment
• Quantitative, Verbal, Integrated Reasoning, Analytical Writing Assessment


Q: Are there study and preparation materials available that simulate the GMAT exam in different orders?
A: The Select Section Order feature is not currently available in the full-length practice exams in the mba.com store, which includes GMAT Prep and Exam Packs 1 and 2. These products will be updated with the Select Section Order feature by July 31, 2017.

You can still download or purchase any full-length exam product via mba.com/store between now and the release of the updated versions. When the software is updated to include the Select Section Order feature, you will be eligible for a complimentary upgrade of GMAT Prep or Exam Pack.

In the meantime, you can use the Test Bank Tool in the Online Official Guide to build your own question sets by question type in your preferred order.

We recommend that if you are not comfortable with a different section order, you can take the GMAT exam in the original section order.

Well this one will be important for people who have their D-dates before 11th July


Q: I already have a GMAT exam scheduled. Should I reschedule it to take advantage of this new feature?
A: The decision to reschedule is up to you. For those that have already done significant preparation for the GMAT and are already prepared to take the exam, you may feel comfortable proceeding with your exam as scheduled, as the original section order will be available.

If you would like to reschedule your GMAT exam to take advantage of the new Select Section Order feature, you can call GMAC Customer Service to reschedule your exam. Both your reschedule fee and phone fee ($10) will be waived if your request is received within a 7-day grace period of the announcement (request via phone must be received on or prior to June 22, 2017). Remember, you have to call in to customer service by June 22 to have the fee waived.

After the grace period, you may reschedule your GMAT exam online, at least 24 hours prior to your scheduled appointment, for the standard reschedule fee.
