GRE or GMAT?
Graduate programs across the nation require prospective
students to submit either a GRE score or a GMAT
score. Although the GMAT is always used in the business
school application process and the GRE is usually
used for other graduate majors, some programs give
applicants the option of submitting the results
of either exam. If a university gives you the opportunity
to choose between the two exams, pick the one you
can master most easily. Since the two tests are
both given on computer and contain the same basic
sections, you must examine the contents of each
test in order to make the best choice.
