从2006年1月1日起,GMAT考试的出题和管理机构由ETS(Educational Testing Service,美国教育考试服务中心)和Thomson Prometric转移至ACT、Inc、Pearson VUE。出题机构发生了变化,GMAT考试官方指南第11版由原来的一本分为三本,包括《GMAT官方指南(综合)》、《GMAT官方指南(数学)》和《GMAT官方指南(语文)》。官方指南(综合)里面所有题目(共800道)全部更新,而且以前的一些出题规律也会有所改变。
为了平稳过渡,第11版官方指南吸收了其他培训机构(如Kaplan和Prentice Review)的长处,以一个由50道Verbal(语文)组成的测试练习(diagnostic section)作为起点,希望能帮助广大考生提高复习效率,增强应试能力。
