Still comparimg GMAT scores? Forget about it. Two years from now, the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT), the primary gatekeeper to business school for generations of MBA students, will get its biggest makeover in more than a decade, with the addition of a new section designed to test advanced reasoning skills, the Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC) announced on June 24 at its annual industry conference in San Diego. The new section will replace one of the two writing sections currently on the exam, GMAC says. It will also be scored separately and have a new audio component for some questions. The test's current verbal and math sections will remain unchanged. The coming changes to the GMAT were pressed by faculty members at business schools around the world, who told the testing organization that they wanted a section that simulated the skills students use in MBA classrooms, says Dave Wilson, president and chief executive of GMAC. The alteration is the biggest to the test, he says, since the GMAT was switched to its computer-adaptive format in the late 1990s.
