Just a heads up for those who are going in to take the GMAT soon:
A new version of the test is launching next week. What's changing? Well, there's a new "integrated reasoning" section that will test your ability to interpret and logically analyze data. In this section, you'll be confronted with graphs, tables, and text; and asked to draw conclusions based on the data you're presented with. In my opinion, this is a good addition to the test, because in today's world, data is incessantly getting both bigger and more important.
Otherwise, the quantitate and verbal sections are exactly the same. The analytical writing section has been cut in half: it's 30 minutes and only one assignment prompt, rather than two.
