Applying to business school is a big step, and it’s important to choose the test that will allow you to show your skills. Find out why more people are choosing the GRE over the GMAT than ever before.
- More career options
Thousands of graduate and business schools accept GRE scores for their master’s, MBA and PhD programs. Scores are also valid for 5 years, so you could double major, or change your mind, and not have to take another test! GMAT is intended only for business school.
- Use a calculator
You can use a calculator on the GRE Quantitative Reasoning section but can’t use a calculator on the GMAT Quantitative Reasoning section. Why struggle when you don’t have to?
- It’s cheaper
Save up to $80 on the GRE test depending upon where you’re testing, plus access tons of free and low cost test prep options, including the Official GRE Mentor, which is now 25% off with the purchase of a test registration or Official Guide to the GRE General Test paperback or ebook (no code needed).
- Answer questions in any order you want
and change answers within each section. On the GMAT, questions must be answered in order, and, if you do well, the questions get progressively harder.
- Test where and when you want
at a test center near you or even from home — at any time and on any day of the week.
