• What is GRE?
  The Graduate Record Examination (GRE) is administered by Education Testing Service (ETS) and is primarily a multiple-choice test that graduate schools use for admission of students into their graduate programs. ETS administers GRE programs on behalf of the Graduate Record Examinations Board and the Council of Graduate Schools. The GRE Program also assists students in their transition to graduate education through a variety of services and publications. The Graduate Record Examination Program also offers 12 Subject Tests, each of which measures achievements in specific fields. The tests offered include:
  • The General Test
    It measures abilities in verbal, quantitative and analytical fields.
  • The Writing Assessment
    This measures proficiency in critical reasoning and analytical writing.
  • The Subject Tests
    These measure achievement in specific fields of study.
  Because of the high correlation between high GRE scores and success in graduate school, many schools require that the applicants take the GRE General Test. (They may also require the applicant to take the appropriate GRE Subject Test.)
• What Is GMAT?
  The GMAT (Graduate Management Admissions Test) consists of two multiple-choice sections (Quantitative and Verbal) and an essay section called the Analytical Writing Assessment (AWA).
• What Skills Does the GMAT Test?
  The GMAT is the standardized test used by business schools to determine admission into their programs. The test lasts approximately 3 1/2 hours. You'll have two half-hour essays that you'll write first followed by a 5-minute break. Next, you'll have a 75-minute quantitative section consisting of 37 questions followed by another 5-minute break. You'll finish with a 75-minute verbal section consisting of 41 questions. The GMAT is one of three main things an admission committee will use to determine whether to admit you. The other two are your undergraduate scholastic record (i.e. grade point average) and your work experience. You can't do anything about the former and probably can't do too much about the latter. Therefore, you should prepare for the GMAT very seriously. This website contains a vast amount of information to allow you to do just that.
• How many times can I take the GMAT?
  Theoretically, you can take the GMAT as much as you want. However, many schools will frown on you if you take the test too many times. Taking the test twice probably won't get you into any trouble anywhere. Taking the test a third or fourth time though may cause an admissions committee to question your ability. While, most schools will only consider your best score, some schools may handle this differently for someone who has taken the test multiple times. It's important to note that schools will see all of your scores. Even if you decide to cancel a particular score (which you must do before seeing your score), that cancellation will still be reported to the school. Plan on taking the test no more than twice and assume that the admissions committees will take the best of those two scores.
• How do they score the GMAT?
  The GMAT is scored on a scale from 200 to 800. The average score is pretty close to 500 although that has increased in recent years. To get into a top 10 business school you will typically need a score higher than a 600. While a score higher than 700 should get you into most B-schools, nothing is guaranteed.
