Focus Edition — 2026

Three sections.
No geometry.
No sentence correction.

The GMAT Focus Edition eliminated the content that didn't predict business school success and doubled down on what does: number sense, logical reasoning, and data analysis. Here's what you're actually facing.

21
🔢
Quantitative Reasoning

Pure Number Sense & Algebra No Geometry

21 Problem Solving questions, 45 minutes. Geometry has been removed entirely. The focus is now on arithmetic fluency, algebraic manipulation, and the kind of quantitative reasoning that shows up in financial modeling and strategy work. Traps are built into the problem framing, not the math itself.

🧠
Verbal Reasoning

Critical Reasoning & Reading No Grammar

23 questions, 45 minutes. Sentence Correction is gone. Verbal now tests pure logic and comprehension — Critical Reasoning (strengthening, weakening, and evaluating arguments) and Reading Comprehension of dense business and academic texts. If you read The Economist fluently, this is your section.

Data Insights

The New Star Section Brand New

20 questions, 45 minutes. This is unique to the GMAT Focus Edition. It combines Data Sufficiency (a classic GMAT format), Multi-Source Reasoning (analyzing tabs of data like a real analyst), Graphics Interpretation, Table Analysis, and Two-Part Analysis. This section rewards people who work with data professionally.

The Method

How working professionals prep for a 705+

You have 3–5 years of work experience and a demanding job. Allen's system is built for the way you actually have time to study.

01
🔍

Identify Your Section Ceiling

Take a 30-question diagnostic split evenly across Quantitative, Verbal, and Data Insights. Allen identifies which section has the lowest ceiling relative to your target score — and which question types within that section are costing you the most points. For most professionals, the answer is Data Sufficiency, not the math.

02
⚡

Drill the Focus Edition Formats

The new question types in Data Insights — Multi-Source Reasoning, Table Analysis, Two-Part Analysis — don't appear anywhere in old GMAT prep material. Allen's bank has full, authentic-format practice sets for all five DI question types, plus the strategic approach for each. No wasted time on formats ETS no longer tests.

03
📈

Use the Review & Edit Feature Strategically

The GMAT now lets you change up to three answers per section at the end. Allen trains you to identify which questions to flag — not all three changes are equally valuable. Understanding when to use your edits is a scoring strategy that most test-takers never practice but that can be worth 10–20 points.

The Platform

Built for the
Focus Edition.
Not the old GMAT.

Most prep materials were built for a test that no longer exists. Allen's GMAT question bank was designed specifically for the Focus Edition — every question type, every section format, every scoring nuance.

📊

Full Data Insights Question Bank

Complete practice sets for all five DI question types: Data Sufficiency, Multi-Source Reasoning, Graphics Interpretation, Table Analysis, and Two-Part Analysis. The section that most differentiates top scores.

🧮

Data Sufficiency Mastery Track

DS questions require an entirely different approach than standard problem solving — you're evaluating whether information is sufficient, not solving for an answer. Allen's DS track teaches the decision tree approach that eliminates traps before they catch you.

⚖️

Critical Reasoning Framework

Strengthen, weaken, evaluate, flaw, assumption — each Critical Reasoning type has a specific attack strategy. Allen's CR bank teaches you to classify the question type in under 10 seconds, then apply the correct framework every time.

🔄

Section-Adaptive Simulation

The GMAT Focus Edition is section-adaptive — your second Quant and Verbal sections adjust to your first-section performance. Allen replicates this escalation so you're never caught off-guard by a harder-than-expected second section.

✏️

Question Review & Edit Training

The new "bookmark and review" feature is a scoring opportunity — if you use it correctly. Allen trains you to identify which questions to flag, how to evaluate them at review time, and when not to change an answer you're only 60% confident about.

🎯

Section Score Projections (60–90)

Track your Quantitative, Verbal, and Data Insights scores independently on the 60–90 scale. Know your total projected score (205–805) and whether your current trajectory will hit your target school's median before you book your exam date.

Content Coverage

Every question type.
Every section. Focus Edition only.

The GMAT Focus Edition tests three sections across seven distinct question types. Allen's bank covers all of them — with full explanation of the strategic approach for each format, not just the content.

Questions are tagged by section, question type, difficulty level, and whether they target a known trap pattern — so your practice is always deliberate.

"I was a software engineer with no business background. My first practice total was 615 — Verbal dragged everything down. Allen's Critical Reasoning framework was the turning point. I went from guessing on weaken questions to getting them right systematically. Final: 725. HBS R2 interview confirmed two weeks later."

"The Data Insights section nearly ended me. I'd never seen Multi-Source Reasoning before and my first attempt at a DI practice set was a disaster. Allen had full explanations for every DI format with a clear decision process for each. Three months later I scored 91st percentile DI. Total: 745. Booth Scholars Program."

"I needed 680+ for my company's MBA sponsorship threshold. My Quant was fine but Data Sufficiency felt like a different language. Allen's DS mastery track taught me to stop solving and start eliminating — completely changed my approach. I hit 695 on my first official attempt. Full sponsorship approved."

FAQ

Questions from
working professionals

For MBA applicants, Master's candidates, and finance professionals navigating the GMAT Focus Edition for the first time.

What score do I need for Harvard, Stanford, or Wharton?+
On the Focus Edition scale (205–805), the M7 median scores are approximately: Harvard Business School ~740, Stanford GSB ~745, Wharton ~740, Booth ~730, Kellogg ~725, Columbia ~730, MIT Sloan ~730. These are medians — not minimums. A 700 with an exceptional professional profile and essays can be competitive; a 750 with a weak profile won't guarantee admission. The rule of thumb: aim for the school's median or above so your GMAT doesn't become a reason for rejection. Allen's school score-match tool shows you the median for your specific target programs.
What's different about the GMAT Focus Edition versus the old GMAT?+
The Focus Edition made three major structural changes: first, the Analytical Writing Assessment (essay) was removed entirely — there is no AWA in the Focus Edition. Second, Sentence Correction (grammar questions) was removed from Verbal — the section now tests only Critical Reasoning and Reading Comprehension. Third, a new section called Data Insights was added, combining the classic Data Sufficiency format with four new question types (Multi-Source Reasoning, Table Analysis, Graphics Interpretation, Two-Part Analysis). The test is also shorter (2h 15min vs. 3h 30min), and you can now choose the order of your three sections and change up to three answers per section at the end.
Should I take the GMAT or the GRE for my MBA application?+
In 2026, almost every top business school accepts both. The strategic question is which test gives you a higher score relative to your target school's applicant pool. GMAT takers tend to skew more quantitatively oriented (finance, consulting, engineering backgrounds), so a high Quant score is table stakes and less differentiating. GRE takers at business schools tend to come from less traditional backgrounds (nonprofit, arts, social sciences), so a strong Quant performance on the GRE can actually stand out more. If you're from finance or consulting and targeting an M7 program, the GMAT is still the "native language" of business school admissions — it signals commitment to the process in a way that GRE applicants are sometimes perceived as not having.
How long does it take to go from 640 to 700+?+
A 60-point improvement on the Focus Edition scale is achievable in 8–14 weeks for most working professionals studying 45–60 minutes per day. The key variable is where the points are coming from. If your Quant is already strong (80th+ percentile) and your Data Insights is the weak section, targeted DI drilling — specifically Data Sufficiency strategy — can produce rapid gains because the question type rewards approach over content knowledge. If both Verbal and DI need work, 12–16 weeks is more realistic. Allen's diagnostic tells you in the first week where the fastest 60 points are hiding in your specific profile.
What is the Question Review & Edit feature and how should I use it?+
At the end of each section, you have 5 minutes to review your flagged questions and change up to three answers. This is a meaningful feature if used strategically — not randomly. The highest-value way to use your three edits: change answers only when you've identified a specific calculation error or misread that you can now correct with certainty. Don't change an answer because you feel uncertain — test-takers who change answers based on anxiety tend to change right answers to wrong ones. Allen's Review & Edit training drills specifically identify which question types and error patterns warrant a revisit and which are best left alone.
