Prepare for the Exam

The GMAT Exam, now with Integrated Reasoning, will give you one more way for you to showcase your skills and differentiate from other candidates.

Preparing for the GMAT Exam: New Study Material Available

We've released updated versions of our existing study products, which include an updated version of the GMATPrep™ software as well as the Official Guide to GMAT® Review, 13th Edition. The Integrated Reasoning section will not be offered separately, so if you’ve already taken the GMAT exam but want to have an Integrated Reasoning score, you’ll have to retake the entire exam. Official Score Reports will continue to provide all scores from the past five years.

The Quantitative, Verbal, and Total scores are not changing, so current study materials will still cover the AWA, Quantitative, and Verbal sections, and students can focus on these areas until Integrated Reasoning prep materials are available.
