GMAT vs GRE Advice
Hi everyone,
I'm a 3rd year undergrad at an Ivy target, and I'm planning to take the GMAT / GRE for deferred MBA programs. I am trying to figure out if I should study and take the GMAT or GRE. I know this topic has been discussed a few times on this forum, but I still haven't been able to find a definitive answer on what the advantages and disadvantages of taking one test over the other are. Some people say the GMAT math section is harder than the GRE math section, and some say the GRE is "easier". I have not taken any practice tests for either, so I don't know what my personal preference is or which test is more preferred for my testing style.
The only relevant data points I have is that I strongly preferred the ACT over the SAT, scoring a perfect score on the ACT math section. I am only interested in MBA programs and not interested in any other graduate programs. How can I figure out if I should take the GMAT or the GRE? Most MBA programs accept both, but can someone please explain why I should take one or the other given my preferences? Do employers post-MBA really have a preference for the GMAT? What makes a person score better on the GRE over the GMAT, or the other way around?
Still got IB interviews at the MBA level (a few MMs and high paying boutiques) with a very mediocre GRE score (I'm not an URM) - 320.
Only one firm asked for a score and it didn't get me screened out. Still made it to their superday.
I like the fact that with the GRE you can use a calculator, but with the GMAT you have to do the math yourself.
