Deciding between GMAT or GRE
Of course, the ultimate determiner is whether the MBA programs to which you’re applying accept both tests or indicate a preference for one.
The GMAT and GRE are, in many ways, nearly identical:
- Both involve early-high-school-level math.
- Both rely heavily on reading comprehension.
- Both require essay-writing at the beginning of the test.
But there are notable differences between the GMAT and GRE:
GRE
Accepted at 1200+ Business Schools worldwide.
Unique Quantitative Question—Quantitative Comparisons.
Unique Verbal Questions—Sentence Equivalence & Text Completion.
Better for “creative/flexible” thinkers.
GMAT
Accepted by all business schools.
Unique Quantitative Question—Data Sufficiency.
Unique Verbal Questions—Sentence Correction & Critical Reasoning.
Better for ”number-crunching” thinkers.
