All about the GMAT Focus Edition
Three 45-minute sections, your choice of order, and one optional break.
The GMAT Focus Edition replaced the previous GMAT exam. It runs two hours and fifteen minutes across three equally weighted sections, and you choose the order in which you sit them.
The test is question-adaptive within each section, and it allows something the old format did not: you may bookmark questions and change up to three answers per section before time runs out.
- Book at a test centre or online, and choose your section order on the day.
- Sit three 45-minute sections with one optional ten-minute break.
- Review your unofficial score and decide whether to accept it.
Flowy gives you one place for everything the GMAT Focus Edition format asks of you, and walks you through the preparation so test day holds no surprises.
The GMAT Focus Edition is open to any candidate who needs to prove their English for study, work or migration — there is no prerequisite beyond booking a seat.
Practice sets, full mocks and expert-reviewed feedback all sit under one login, so the hours you spend preparing land on the parts of the GMAT Focus Edition that actually move your score.

Quantitative Reasoning
Problem solving without a calculator and without geometry — the Focus Edition tests reasoning speed over recall of formulae.
