Hi,

I was weighing the new GMAT to soon to be replaced format. Will the B-schools accept the old format results in the next year admission rounds? Haven't done much research, just wanted to make sure its good to go with this format before its replaced...

Yup, they will, I'm sure of it! The change to the test isn't substantial enough to warrant any worries!

Yep. I think if GMAC made all the people who had test score retake, they would have a lot of very angry customers to deal with.

I think they should accept the old GMAT, the score is valid for 5 years.
They can't deny all those who took the test before the change and make them take it again, it's not fair.

Thanks for asking this question manukmittal1990, it was a question I was also pondering because I took it in March but I don't intend to apply for a year or so. I'm curious to see how the new format will impact my percentiles...unless they won't be comparing the old and new tests (which, realistically they shouldn't, but you never know).

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
