All you students out there, you studiers, you hard workers, and you owners of Android devices – today is your day. A batch of industrious students at MIT made an app a while ago that, sadly enough, was only available for iOS until now. This app is made to help students pass various exams such as the SAT, the GRE, and the GMAT through a series of questions in a simple to use interface on your mobile device. This app is now, you guessed it, available on Android and it’s totally free! Now you’ve got NOT EXCUSE why you can’t study for such terrifying tests of your maddeningly awesome intelligence.
This app uses vocabulary words and centers around the way they’re written and the way they sound – something I’m SURE you love to think about on a daily basis outside of studying for a test such as this. This app uses machine learning algorithms to determine your level, be it Expert or Commitment, and helps build stamina by modeling each practice session based on this level. Your training will be based on both self-study as well as learning through interaction – tap away!
Of course there’s a full set of features here, including a regular progress report showing how well you’re doing, how many questions you’ve answered correctly, and if you’re going to FAIL or not – the final result of course still depending on you, the test taker. This app has been lauded as a fantastic way to get to know yourself as you’ll appear on the tests you’re about to take and has been the app of the day on several sites as it appeared in its iOS form.
We’ve taken a look at the app briefly, and it looks like it’s certainly what it says it is, made with extremely simple graphics and a user interface straight out of a science professor’s handbook – great to keep on point! Go grab it right now from the Android Market] and tell em we told ya!
Thanks for the tip, Lana!
The Graduate Management Admission Test is a Standardized test that measures verbal, mathematical and analytical writing skills. It is intended to help the graduate schools of business assess the potential of applicants for advanced study in business and management.
Nearly 900 management institutes all over the world (almost all of them in the US) require GMAT scores from each applicant. The GMAT tests the fundamental skills – Reasoning and Comprehension included – and does not require any subject-specific theoretical study.
The test is designed in such a way that it would be unlike any other test you would have taken at school or college. First, the test has no question paper or answer sheets, nor does it have the same set of questions for all the examinees. Further, it does not give you the option of not answering a question (unless, of course, you run out of time at the end). All this because the GMAT is now an entirely Computer based test – the keyboard and mouse do the work of a pen or pencil. The test is scored out of 800 (in multiples of 10), and most scores fall in the range of 500-600. However, a score of even 800 is not unheard of!
The scoring has changed for the new GRE
