LEARNHUB.COM, AN online social learning network, has announced the availability of the world’s largest free Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) and Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) question banks on their site.

LearnHub.com is a first of its kind centralised online education destination for teachers and learners across the globe and has been launched by leading Canada based e-learning company Savvica Inc Educomp. Solutions Limited, India’s largest education company had acquired a majority stake in Savvica Inc last September.

The site, among other things, hosts communities to help students prepare for SAT and GMAT exams and will now include thousands of original practice questions. The question banks grow daily as members and staff add new questions. Over 1500 members are already using this innovative social interface to practice for exams, which includes tools to allow members to time themselves, debate solutions and strategy with each other, and to track their improvement over time.

"As one of the only alternatives to expensive books and courses, LearnHub’s free SAT and GMAT communities are catching on quickly, averaging 50 new members every day since their launch," said chief executive officer (CEO) Malgosia Green, Savicca Inc, founder and CEO.

With the launch and rapid growth of the SAT and GMAT communities, many top higher education institutions in America and Canada are turning to LearnHub for access to international student candidates. LearnHub is building on this success by fostering a similar community for the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) and International English Language Testing System (IELTS) English proficiency tests and other similar topics.

In addition to helping with these standardised tests, these communities are also a hub of activity for domestic and international students to connect with academic recruiters. "There is nothing else like SAT. LearnHub.com, especially for Indian and international students who want to prepare to study in America," stated Koustabh Dolui, a SAT community member from Kolkata, "It’s where you find opportunities to study abroad."

The Graduate Management Admission Test is a Standardized test that measures verbal, mathematical and analytical writing skills. It is intended to help the graduate schools of business assess the potential of applicants for advanced study in business and management. Nearly 900 management institutes all over the world (almost all of them in the US) require GMAT scores from each applicant. The GMAT tests the fundamental skills - Reasoning and Comprehension included - and does not require any subject-specific theoretical study. The test is designed in such a way that it would be unlike any other test you would have taken at school or college. First, the test has no question paper or answer sheets, nor does it have the same set of questions for all the examinees. Further, it does not give you the option of not answering a question (unless, of course, you run out of time at the end). All this because the GMAT is now an entirely Computer based test - the keyboard and mouse do the work of a pen or pencil. The test is scored out of 800 (in multiples of 10), and most scores fall in the range of 500-600. However, a score of even 800 is not unheard of!
