GMAT triumphs over GRE

0 comments

According to a recent survey from Kaplan Test Prep,just 16 per cent of MBA applicants this year have opted for GRE,others have gone for the tried and tested GMAT.

The main reason for the continued dominance of GMAT,
Kaplan believes,is that students believed that some of their target schools do not accept the GRE (Graduate Record Examination), which is designed as an entry test for all graduate programmes, not just business school. Sixty per cent of those that did not consider the GRE said this was the primary reason for sticking to the GMAT.

INSEAD moves away from GMAT

0 comments

The Institut Europeen d'Administration des Affaires (INSEAD) recently announced modified standards for college aptitude tests that are more in line with the practical requirements of its executive students.

The GMAT is a tool used to assess the capability of candidates pursuing graduate business degrees — Executive Masters in Business Administration programmes (EMBA).
