The Graduate Management Admission Test® (GMAT®) is a standardized assessment that helps business schools assess the qualifications of applicants for advanced study in business and management. Schools use the test as one predictor of academic performance in an MBA or in other graduate management programs. This course helps you prepare for the GMAT examination.

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.

 

 

 

Considerations

If you are trying to decide between the two tests, consider the following:

  • If you have very strong math skills, consider taking the GMAT.
  • If your verbal and math skills are about equal, consider taking the GRE.
  • If you are applying to a program focusing specifically on your Quantitative or Verbal scores (such as Engineering or English), consider taking the GRE.
  • If English is your second language, consider taking the GMAT.
  • GRE is more affordable for test takers (The fee to take the GRE General Test is lower than other tests, and financial aid is available to eligible candidates.
