THINKTANK GMAT Prep Course
The THINKTANK and Testing Office are working together directly to ensure you receive the full benefits of enrolling in a prep course. Included with your prep course, you have the option of taking two practice exams through the UA Testing Office. The practice GMAT is taken on the computer and offers instant scores.

When should I take the exams?
Once enrolled, you can take the practice exams at any time before, during, or after the THINKTANK course. However, we recommend taking the first practice exam prior to the start day of the course. This will allow you enter the course with a basic understanding of your strengths and weaknesses. Upon completion of the prep course, we suggest you schedule your second practice test. The Testing Office will contact you via telephone and email both prior to, and upon conclusion of the course to remind you to take advantage of these practice exams.
What are the benefits of taking a practice exam in the UA Testing Office?
Taking a GMAT practice test in the Testing Office gives you the benefit of becoming familiar with the tests design, types of questions, and the controlled testing environment you will encounter on your actual GMAT test date. The results of these practice exams will help inform you of your focus of study and gain an understanding of GMAT scoring. It is also a great opportunity to practice and fine-tune any test-taking strategies. Note about the GMAT Practice Exam: even if you are not enrolled in the THINKTANK PrepCourse, you still have the option to take the practice exam at the UA Testing Office for a $20 fee.**
