About the GMAT
The GMAT Focus Edition is a brand new version of the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT), launched on November 7, 2023. It's designed to be more focused, accessible, and relevant to the skills needed for today's business programs.
​
The GMAT Focus is a streamlined version of the classic GMAT. It caters to modern business needs with a shorter format (2 hours 15 minutes) and fewer sections (Quantitative, Verbal, and Data Insights). Gone are the Analytical Writing and Integrated Reasoning sections, replaced by a data-driven focus in the new Data Insights section. Verbal Reasoning emphasizes critical reasoning over grammar, while Quantitative Reasoning prioritizes problem-solving types of questions.
More than 7,000 MBA programs (and other masters courses) today at various graduate business schools worldwide accept the GMAT as a key aspect in the selection criteria for their programs. A high score on the GMAT prepares your business school application in the most definite positive way!

I worked with Namrata and Abheet for my MBA applications. With their help and guidance, I was able to get accepted at Judge (Cambridge) with a scholarship. From helping me ace the GMAT to working with me on the application they helped cover all aspects of the application. In particular the application work I did with them helped me stay true and honest which I feel was instrumental in getting me through. I would highly recommend them both to anyone looking to work on their MBA applications.

I worked with GuideMe over fall 2020. I am historically not the best-standardized test taker, but after preparing for 3 months, I was able to improve my base score by 100+ points and break the 700s. The trainers work hard to understand why you are making the particular mistakes you're making (in both your strategy and problem-solving), and give constant feedback on how to improve. Every mock test is thoroughly evaluated and the next-prep is adjusted based on your areas of strengths and weaknesses. I am so grateful for making the impossible a reality. Thanks again!

I had joined GuideMe classes 3 years back for my GMAT preparation. I was able to score a 720 in GMAT and get an MBA from Ross Michigan School of Business. Thanks to the amazing team of GuideMe for both the GMAT classes & the Application Help. The faculty here is really good and helped me improve my previous score of 660. The classes are held in a systematic manner and the course material comes in handy as they are based on a good collection of questions. Still thankful to them for figuring out my exact test weaknesses & suggesting great test strategies to remedy that.

I took GMAT classes with Abheet at GuideMe and got a 700+ score on my exam. His approach toward tackling SC, CR, and RC is effective, comprehensive, and super easy. Abheet takes a personal interest in his students' progress and knows how and when to provide that needed extra motivation.
I can highly recommend taking GMAT classes with him.
Thank you, Abheet - I am deeply indebted!

At GuideMe, we understand that every student learns differently. While we appreciate the resources offered by online platforms, we believe our live, interactive classes provide a distinct advantage for those seeking personalized guidance and a supportive community.
These platforms offer way too much information that the GMAT exam requires – finishing all their modules might feel like an eternity! We tailor our program to your specific needs and goals, ensuring you learn the most relevant concepts efficiently.
