Who distributes the GMAT exam??

Question

You know how Princeton Review or Kaplan have classes for the MCAT (the med school admissions exam)..do they actually MAKE the MCAT questions? Similarly, what institutions (like Kaplan or Princeton Review) have clsses for the GMAT, and who actually comes up with the GMAT exam. thanks, 10 points for best answer, which I WILL CHOOSE!

Answer 1

The GMAT is created by the GMAC (graduate management admission council). "The Official Guide" is made by the GMAC and contains actual past GMAT questions- they do not offer classes, but the book is essential.

Companies such as Kaplan, Princeton Review, Veritas, Manhattan GMAT, offer study materials and classes. Some of these companies cater towards higher target scores (Veritas, Manhattan) while others are for those who need more refreshing (Princeton review). All these companies offer worthwhile resources, but none are a complete representation of what you will encounter on the real test, which uses a complex algorithm to score. The practice tests on MBA.com (also made by the GMAC) are a good representation of what the real test will be.

Good luck!
