I'm planning on applying to business schools in the fall of 2012 with the hope of entry in the fall of 2013. I haven't taken the GMAT yet (currently studying) but wanted to know your opinion on how the new exam will be viewed by adcoms. I am planning on taking the exam in mid-April and if all goes well, I won't need to take it again. However, should I find myself in a position that I need to retake the exam, how do you think it will be viewed if I took the old exam and the new exam? Or should I just wait for the new exam? Will adcoms generally prefer the new exam over the old one for 2013 applicants? I'm just trying to figure out whether I'll be at a disadvantage by having taken the older exam. Your thoughts would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Well the Adcoms are gonna accept the new exam well of course, because it's just GMAC trying to make their "product" better for their users... totally natural. As far as old vs. new - Don't worry about it. You take the exams at the times that are good for you and your life, and you let them worry about the equivalencies. The schools will be all prepared for it.

"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."
