GMAC announced the following on Friday:

The Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) will add an innovative new section designed to measure people’s ability to evaluate information from multiple sources. The new integrated reasoning section, scheduled to be introduced in June 2012, will provide business schools with a window into how prospective students respond to the kinds of complex challenges they will encounter as managers in today’s information-rich business environment.

These questions include information from multiple sources, such as charts, graphs, and spreadsheets. Examinees will be asked to analyze information, draw conclusions and discern relationships between data points, just as they must do in business school.

The overall length of the GMAT exam (three and a half hours) will not change. The new integrated reasoning section will be 30 minutes long and replace one of two essays that are part of the GMAT’s analytical writing section. Admissions officers have stated and GMAC research has shown that performance on the essays is closely aligned, making a single essay acceptable for predicting performance.

The GMAT exam’s verbal and quantitative sections will not change. As a result, when the new section is introduced in June 2012, tests will be scored on the same 200–800 scale used today. Test takers will receive a separate score for the essay—as they do now—and another distinct score on the new integrated reasoning section.

We often receive testimonials from our clients. Below is an example of one of our successful clients:

GMATGlobal was the most comprehensive and high quality tutoring service I've ever used (having previously used ****** when studying for the LSAT and an individual private tutor for the SAT).  Their tutors were young, high energy, and extremely motivating.  Aside from being superb academic instructors who knew the GMAT inside and out, they went the extra mile by sending me late night text messages to make sure I was studying, as well as being available by phone immediately before and after the exam.  I found them very flexible to schedule - a must given my hectic work-life - as well as being affordable relative to similar services available in the UK.
