GRE vs. GMAT for Business School
Fact #1: Essentially, every MBA program on the planet accepts the GMAT. Not all required it, but all would accept it.
Fact #2: Almost all of them also accept the GRE. Thus, students have a choice.
Fact #3: ETS, the company that produces the GRE, heavily advertises Fact #2.
Fact #4: ETS recently issued a press release about the advantages of changing your answer—something you can do on the GRE and can’t do on the GMAT. On the GRE, you can go back to any question in the section and change the answer during the time of the section. On the GMAT, because of the CAT, once you press enter, the question is gone forever.
Obviously, all this is likely to be confusing to folks who are deciding which test to take on their path to business school. The first thing I will say is: let’s use some critical thinking, the very skills needed in the GMAT Critical Reasoning. ETS, the company that produces the GRE, is a very large, financially successful company. GMAC, the company that produces the GMAT, is another very large, financial successful company. In general, very large, financially successful companies are particularly skilled at saying things that get your money into their pockets. Neither company is entirely saintly and neither company is abominable. Both companies are in some respects interested in helping students achieve their academic goals, and at some level, each is fundamentally interested in its bottom line. Caveat emptor.
