Beat The GMAT: A New Chapter
Welcome, Beat The GMAT community, to the new website! As you might have noticed Beat The GMAT has undergone a major site transformation as of today. Up until yesterday, we were the largest GMAT/MBA discussion forum in the world. Today we have become the premier GMAT/MBA learning portal on the web, providing many great new resources along with our discussion forum.
Why the change?
The answer is simple: you asked and we listened.
- You asked for an easier way to find all the great resources on this website. We listened by updating the navigation as well as the look and feel to make it easier for you to explore the entire site.
- You asked for a library of expert content on GMAT and MBA topics. We listened by building a new articles system. Top GMAT instructors and MBA admissions consultants will write learning content for you.
- You asked for social media resources to assist you in your prep. We listened by working with top experts to aggregate the best social media content related to GMAT and MBA prep.
- You asked for a means to better learn about GMAT prep companies. We listened by developing a new section on the site called Learning Centers, where visitors can learn about each company partnering with our site, find discounts, and take advantage of free prep resources.
What hasnt changed?
Our focus on community hasnt changed. The forum is still here, it will always be an integral part of this website. Beat The GMAT remains a community-driven project featuring amazing members like yourself, who are committed to helping one another to succeed in business school admissions.
