For nearly 60 years, the test has acted as the gatekeeper to B-school for generations of would-be MBAs, and for 15 years it has existed in more or less its current form. But on June 5 GMAC will unveil the new integrated reasoning section, with questions designed to measure applicants' ability to synthesize data from multiple sources to solve interrelated problems. That's right, after 60 years the GMAT will ask applicants to act like the executives they yearn to be. To mark the occasion, Bloomberg Businessweek has kicked off a three-part series taking an in-depth look at the development of the test, from the realization that the old test failed to measure skills of critical importance to graduates' success to the writing and testing of the new questions. The series, written by Alison Damast, gives a behind-the-scenes look at something many of the tortured applicants who take the GMAT probably never considered: why, exactly, they're making the test even more difficult than it already is.
