GMAT™ Official Quantitative Practice

 

(the “Service,” as further defined in Section 1 below).

PLEASE READ THIS AGREEMENT BEFORE USING THE SERVICE. BY USING THE SERVICE, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT. THIS AGREEMENT CONTAINS DISCLAIMERS OF WARRANTIES AND LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY. THESE PROVISIONS ARE AN ESSENTIAL PART OF OUR BARGAIN. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, DO NOT ACCESS OR USE THE SERVICE. YOU CONSENT TO HAVE THIS AGREEMENT PROVIDED TO YOU IN ELECTRONIC FORM. YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO RECEIVE, AND MAY REQUEST, A NON-ELECTRONIC COPY BY CONTACTING GMAC CUSTOMER CARE.

  1. SERVICE: The Service is intended for your own internal purposes to help you focus your preparation for the GMAT™ exam (the “Exam”) by assessing your performance on the practice quizzes and delivering results pinpointing the areas you most need to practice. You shall not use the Service for any other purpose, and you shall comply with all of the restrictions contained herein relating to your use of the Service. The Service is owned by GMAC and hosted and delivered by its service provider: Internet Testing Systems, LLC (“ITS”). Your results from the quizzes will be calculated using the same categories used on the real Exam. Your performance will be rated across each of those categories as Excellent, Above Average, or Below Average based on how your responses compare to the Exam takers. You can use those ratings to determine how you want to prepare for the Exam. The Service has been designed to look similar to the Exam, but it does not emulate the Exam. For the emulation of the computer-adaptive Exam, please download a free copy of the GMAT™ Official Starter Kit + Practice Exams 1 & 2 on www.mba.com/exam-prep. There is no guarantee or assurance that the results of the Service will assure your score on the Exam, but the Service is to be used as a study aid to help you understand the content and format of the actual Exam. The Service includes all documentation and content, including instructions, quiz questions, results, answers, ratings, and all other aspects of the online service found on the GMAT Exam Prep webpage at www.mba.com/exam-prep.\
