Great news for all those tech savvy individuals out there! GMAC is launching an official GMAT mobile phone application. One common complaint from those undergoing GMAT revision is lack of time to prepare for the exam. This is not surprising, as many GMAT takers are young adults constantly playing a balancing act and juggling busy work schedules, social activities, applying to Business Schools, revising for GMAT as well as coping with home and family life.

The Official GMAT mobile app helps students prepare for the exam using their iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch. The app includes actual GMAT questions from past exams and combines them with elements of online gaming to keep it fun and interesting for test takers. In addition, the app allows you to connect with people in the same boat as you, those getting prepped for the GMAT. In terms of specific features, the app includes a timer to practice correct question pacing, in depth answer explanations, a performance tracker to see whether you are improving and finally both ‘exam’ and ‘practice’ modes to choose from.

Instead of pulling out your heavy official GMAT guide on the bus to work, you can just whip out your iPhone for a more convenient way to revise. Nowadays, there are so many GMAT preparation tools available. This mobile application just adds one more to the mix. The cost of The Official Guide for the GMAT App starts at USD$4.99. Pay USD$9.99, and you will receive an additional 250 questions.

The mobile app is available for downloading from iTunes at http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/the-official-guide-for-gmat/id417778212?mt=8
