graduate management admission

Back in July we wrote about our surprise at the fact that the Graduate Management Admission Council, who creates the GMAT test used as part of the admissions process for many business schools, had won a copyright infringement lawsuit against a test prep website.

There are plenty of test prep operations out there, but GMAC's complaint here was that some of the users of the site were posting questions used on the exam that they had remembered.

It's difficult to see why this is a particularly big deal.

The standardized testing business is a big business -- though many are extremely critical of it. However, given how many universities rely on standardized tests for admissions, it's difficult to overstate how important some of these tests can be.

And, because of that, there's a huge ecosystem of test preparation built around all of these tests, trying to help applicants prepare for the exams.

These usually involve practice exams, often with questions from older exams. However, what if you got questions that were appearing on current exams?
