Hi all,
I am planning to apply for a B school which accepts both GMAT and GRE (99% of B schools now do). I have written GRE about 6 to 7 years ago for my Masters and found the Quant section quite straight forward. I have lost touch with Academics including the Quant area. GMAT Quant and Verbal sections seem way more tougher than GRE. Especially, the Quant section is killing me from the timing standpoint. I could barely finish the questions in both the mock tests I gave with a month of preparation.
Although a part of me asks me to switch to GRE and get it out of my way for my application process, one part of my brain is asking me to take up the challenge and go for GMAT. Here are the two questions I would like to ask
1) Is there is any difference between GMAT and GRE for the selection criteria in B schools? The schools say they accept both the scores. If then, why do people waste so much of time, money and energy on GMAT when GRE is comparatively easier.
2) Is GRE really easier than GMAT? Or did the
MGMAT CAT 1 just bowled me over with its complexity and my inexperience?
3) I just have around 45 days of time to write my GMAT/GRE if I want to apply for this fall. I am applying for a part time evening MBA program, so I can apply in the last round of deadline.
Any information, suggestion or motivation would be highly highly apppreciated.
Thank you,
Abhi
