Does actual GMAT provide "Find" options for reading comprehension.

Thanks !

The GMAT provides you with no tools of any kind outside of the clock that is ticking away in the corner and the cut and paste in the AWA! No calculator, no spell check, no way to underline or highlight and NO TOOLS like find!

The GMAT does not want to make it easier for you or more efficient or logical. They test your ability to scan the passage for a particular word - or better yet to remember which paragraph it was in...

I am advocating that the GMAT be given on something equivalent to the IPad so that you can underline and circle things in reading comp, sentence correction, geometry, etc. But until then you are completely on your own.

Try taking the official GMATPrep Test that is offered by GMAC, it is available at MBA.com. That test provides the same interface as the actual test.

"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."
