Who should take the GMAT test?

The population needing to take the GMAT test can be divided into two groups. The first group consists of students interested in studying for an MBA, MSBA or finance/management degree in Israel. To do so, they will have to pass only the quantitative part of the GMAT test.

The second group consists of students interested in studying for an MBA or related degree at universities abroad—unlike the first group, these students will need to pass the GMAT test in all its parts (Quantitative Reasoning, Verbal Reasoning and Data Insights), which is of course done in English. It is important to know in advance whether you will need to achieve a high score on each section of the test, in order to prepare for the GMAT in the most effective way.

How is the learning for the GMAT test done?

The GMAT test preparation course at Yeda Plus allows students to acquire the tools and comprehensive knowledge they need in order to succeed on the GMAT. In order to become familiar with the methods of the GMAT exam, students receive practice materials directly aligned with the structure and rhetoric of the test.

The proven teaching method of Yeda Plus includes: a preparatory workshop for mathematics, videos with practical exercises, a question bank with questions similar to those on the GMAT test, and specialized workbooks for the quantitative and verbal sections to allow each student to intensify their learning.

At the end of each lesson, students receive homework to reinforce the topics covered in class. In addition, course participants gain access to a chat group that includes their classmates and the instructor, allowing them to ask questions, compare answers and share test strategies. The small-group nature of the course simulates the feel of a study group while allowing full access to the instructor and the resources offered inside and outside of class.

Learning with a private tutor for the GMAT test

Not sure that a full course is what you need? In addition to our GMAT prep course, Yeda Plus offers the option of scheduling private lessons with our course instructor. This allows you to focus on the specific topics necessary for your GMAT success- whether in quantitative reasoning, verbal reasoning, data insights, or any combination of them.

Learn at your own pace: are there particular sections you have difficulty with? Target your problem areas and review them with the instructor! Maybe you’re strong in math but less sure about the verbal section—this is your opportunity to practice in that area. Confident about your English reasoning abilities but intimidated by the quantitative portions of the GMAT? Private lessons can help you strengthen your weaker areas so that on test day, you are ready to beat the GMAT.

The language of study for the GMAT test

Because the GMAT exam is conducted entirely in English, the Yeda Plus GMAT course is run in English from day 1. This way, students don’t waste time on test day translating in their head—they will already be familiar with the exam concepts in English. Yeda Plus students gain familiarity not only with using English test terms, but with thinking and reasoning in English, so that they can get straight to the question at hand. Our class sizes are intentionally kept small, so that each student has a chance to interact with the teacher and ask questions during class.

Used for MBA admissions, the GMAT exam is an adaptive test taken electronically in a certified GMAC center. Test-takers begin the exam with questions of varying difficulty, and the level of each question is determined by the examinee’s performance in the previous one. The exam algorithm will raise the level of difficulty for good performance, and lower the level for poor performance. These variations in difficulty are reflected in the final score.

GMAT test structure

The GMAT Focus exam is 2 hours and 15 minutes long. The test consists of three sections (Quantitative Reasoning, Verbal Reasoning and Data Insights). Exams are offered several times a week in Israel and cost $275. Applicants must wait 16 days between consecutive exams. Scores appear immediately at the end of the exam, and test takers can choose to either keep or cancel their scores.

Verbal Reasoning – graded on a 60–90 scale. Multiple-choice questions that assess reading comprehension and critical reasoning skills, focusing on the ability to analyze arguments, evaluate evidence, and draw logical conclusions.

Quantitative Reasoning – graded on a 60–90 scale. Multiple-choice questions that measure mathematical reasoning and problem-solving skills, covering topics such as arithmetic, algebra, and statistics. The section emphasizes analytical thinking and data interpretation rather than advanced mathematics.

Data Insights – graded on a 60–90 scale. Multiple-choice questions that assess the ability to analyze and interpret data from different sources, including tables, graphs, and charts. Question types include data sufficiency, multi-source reasoning, table analysis, graphics interpretation, and two-part analysis.

Total Score – reported on a 205–805 scale and based equally on performance across all three sections: Verbal Reasoning, Quantitative Reasoning, and Data Insights.
