Is the GRE or GMAT better for MBA admissions?

Most top MBA programs accept both and claim to evaluate them equally. The GMAT is still the traditional choice and may carry slightly more weight at the most competitive programs. The GRE offers more flexibility if you're also applying to non-MBA graduate programs.

What is the GMAC Fundamentals exam?

GMAC Fundamentals is a shorter, newer assessment from GMAC designed for candidates applying to business programs that don't require a full GMAT score. It tests core quantitative and verbal reasoning in a more accessible format. Check if your target programs accept it before registering.

How long should I study for the LSAT?

Most successful candidates study for 3-6 months, with 15-25 hours per week. The LSAT is highly learnable, and consistent practice with timed sections and logic games can yield significant score improvements. Taking a diagnostic test first helps gauge how much preparation you need.

Which graduate programs accept the MAT?

The MAT is accepted by over 900 graduate programs, primarily in education, humanities, psychology, and social sciences. Some programs accept either the GRE or MAT. It's less commonly accepted for MBA, law, or STEM PhD programs. Check your target program's admissions page.

Has the GMAT changed recently?

Yes. The GMAT Focus Edition launched in late 2023 and replaced the classic GMAT. It's shorter, has three sections (Quantitative Reasoning, Verbal Reasoning, and Data Insights), and is scored on a 205-805 scale. Sentence Correction and the AWA essay have been removed.
