In your search for a Master’s degree abroad, you’ve certainly heard of the GMAT Focus. The GMAT is an aptitude test required by over 7,700 postgraduate programs worldwide. Business Schools use it as a common benchmark for evaluating candidates to determine if they are a good fit for their programs.
In early 2023, GMAC, the organization behind the GMAT exam, announced fundamental changes to the test to align it with university requirements. Consequently, there is a new and quite different version of the test, the GMAT Focus Edition. Moreover, according to an official announcement, starting from February 1, 2024, only the GMAT Focus will be available for candidates.
The best Preparation
At Koutsodontis Test Prep, we specialize in apritude tests and, generally in the preparation for studies abroad, since 1981. Our experience makes us the no 1 choice for candidates, demonstrating the adaptability of our Center to current developments.
Regarding the GMAT Focus, it was first introduced in June 2023 at the GMAC conference in London. Our Director of Studies and Mathematics Professor, Mr. Manolis Koutsodontis, was invited, and we were the only Greek Preparation Center to participate.
So, how do we help candidates achieve top scores?
