Hey, how do the marks translate between both?
For example, if someone scores 650 in Gmat then how much that is going to translate in the focus edition?

If someone is targeting 2025 fall, should one wait for the new exam and format to come out. If they have not started studying yet?

I am planning to write the GMAT mid July, can I stick to following the 13 Week GMAT study plan? Should i worry about anything related to the new pattern?

Thank you so much for posting this video.Can you pls request GMAC to hold a session on the current changes. The same thing they did at the time of covid when they had announced Gmat online version.

If I start the prep now, then what should I go for, should I give exam in oct/nov or should I wait for the new format? What's your suggestion?

Thanks for the video! Do you think these timelines would hold, I mean I personally prefer the Focus Edition so is there a chance testing might start before Q4'23?

I want to apply in September 2023 .Will I be able to take the shorter version before that?

[banafshehz]

I have two questions. 
1. I wanna take my test in Oct 2023, can I take the Focus edition? 
2. Does all the universities accept this new edition as well?

Thanks in advance :)

If I am targeting for Spring 2024, should I wait for the new GMAC focus edition?

Any idea how the new test will be scored?

[dominiccuevas]

I wonder how the changes will skew the scores of the current longer GMAT version of the test, assuming many will wait to take the shortened version. Maybe it will be harder to get a good score on the longer version now😮
