GMAT CAT practise test: Simulation

The purpose of this test is to give you an idea of how the actual GMAT looks like. We have taken care to make the questions and the format of the test as representative of the actual test as possible. You cannot skip a question : a question will be displayed only after you have indicated your answer to the preceding question.Like the actual GMAT, this test is adaptive, i.e., the level of a question depends on your answers to the preceding questions. Try out this test to have a actual feel of GMAT. This is a CAT test, which means that the test will adapt itself to your level, as actual GMAT does.

What is the TOEIC Bridge® Test? (http://toeic.com.vn)

2007-11-21T09:52:00.000-08:00

The name TOEIC Bridge incorporates the concept of a "bridge" to the TOEIC test. The TOEIC Bridge test was developed as a global standard with which to measure the English language proficiency of beginning and intermediate learners.
The increasingly widespread use of the TOEIC test among companies, organizations, and universities, has led to rapid growth in the number of requests from educational establishments such as universities, senior high schools, junior high schools, and their students, as well as the general public for the creation of a test for beginning learners that would be "easier", "shorter" and "more familiar," than the standard TOEIC Test.
The TOEIC Bridge(R) Test is suitable for the following people:
Junior high and senior high school students
University, junior college, and vocational school students
Those who have already achieved a TOEIC score of 450
The general public
TOEIC Bridge® Test Development Organization
The TOEIC Bridge test was developed by Educational Testing Service, the world's largest test development organization which developed the TOEIC.
ETS was found in 1947 with its headquarter in Princeton, New Jersey, USA. At present, ETS is the world’s largest educational testing and measurement organization and a leader in educational research. The company is dedicated to serving the needs of individuals, educational institutions and government bodies in almost 200 countries. ETS develops and administers more than 12 million tests worldwide.
ETS currently employs approximately 2,500 regular employees, including more than 1,100 professional staff members with training and expertise in education, psychology, statistics and psychometrics. Additional areas of staff expertise include computer sciences, sociology and humanities. Nearly 600 staff members have advanced degrees, including 240 who hold doctorates.
