The “Official GMAT” mobile application, which lets GMAT test takers prepare for the exam using actual questions from past exams on their iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad, launched last week, the Graduate Management Admissions Council (GMAT) announced.

The new application combines online gaming with GMAT test prep, allowing prospective test takers to compete in real time against others preparing for the exam.

“There is plenty to like about the Official GMAT app,” Peg Jobst, executive vice president of the GMAT division at GMAC, said in a statement. “No other app gives you access to real questions from the GMAT exam as well as a fun way to keep your skills sharp and connect with others who are getting ready for the exam.” 

The mobile app is now available on iTunes for the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad. In addition to adding the game element to test prep, the new app also includes several serious features to help prospective test takers prepare, including a question timer to practice keeping pace, a performance tracking center to chart improvement, full answer explanations for every question, and “Exam” and “Practice” modes allowing test takers to focus on individual questions and take mini practice exams whenever they want.

The price for the “Official GMAT” app is $4.99 for 50 questions. Supplemental packs with 250 additional questions are also available for $9.99.
