GMAT Exam

Is it allowed to have my own calcualtor in the exam ? what is the best quick refresher quide to prepare for GMAT ?

Thank you. It's been almost a lifetime since I took the GMAT, and looking up the answer to the first question has pointed out just how much that test has changed.

> Is it allowed to have my own calcualtor in the exam ?

No. You wouldn't be permitted your own calculator.
From the GMAT Handbook page 6,

"1. You may bring ONLY the following items into the test room:
•• Your ID
•• Key to the supplied locker
•• Prescription eyeglasses
•• A light sweater or light non-outerwear jacket
•• Comfort items if approved accommodations"

I'll defer to another expert for the second question. (I'd taken the test right after finishing my undergraduate degrees in business, over twenty years ago. If I were looking for a refresher, I'd start with the free material offered by the folks offering the test. Beyond that, I'd do a scan on Amazon for a book with the new material, with decent reviews. Kaplan New GMAT Premier 2013 comes up in my search, but I can't personally recommend it.

No, you can't take a calculator. The best guide is the Official guide from GMAC. It includes the question bank which will cover 60% of the questions from all the topics.
