The new GMAT exam will be shorter by 30 minutes from April 16th, 2018.
On 3rd, April 2018, GMAC announced some major changes to the GMAT test timing and to the number of questions you’re going to be having in both Quant and Verbal.
Here is a quick overview of the changes:
1. The GMAT exam will now be 3.5 hours instead of 4 hours, including breaks and instructions.
2. The 4 sections (IR, AWA, Verbal & Quant) remain the same.
3. The section selection order still remains the same.
4. The GMAT quant questions have been reduced from 37 to 31 and the time allocated to the Quant section been reduced from 75 minutes to 62 minutes. You get 2 minutes per question
5. The GMAT verbal questions have been reduced from 41 to 36 and the time allocated has been reduced from 75 minutes to 65 minutes. In terms of the timing, you still have the same 108 seconds per question.

Hello Arun. Pardon me if it is already in the Video, but do we still have the freedom to select the sections as per our liking? Thank You.
Hi Arun
Thanks for the prompt update! Was very happy to have found this video at the right time! 🙂
I gave my first attempt on 2nd April (even I'm amused at the irony), but well my score wasn't at par. Accordingly, I'd planned to schedule another attempt by the end of the month.
However, today I checked the website and saw an update regarding the GMAT Prep App with the mock tests. It said that the app would be updated 'latest by 30th April'. Do you suggest I wait for the update, practice and then give the test or should I just go for it?
Hey Arun, from where can I practice mock tests with updated format?
