Accepting GRE® revised General Test Scores Makes Good Business Sense

In this era of globalization and increased competition, business schools around the world have turned to the GRE® revised General Test to increase and diversify their applicant pool.

The GRE revised General Test makes good business sense because:

• It provides access to a diverse candidate pool — more people than ever from around the world took the GRE test in 2011*
• It measures the skills that business schools value — verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning, critical thinking and analytical writing
• Independent research has shown that the GRE General Test has been a valid predictor of success in a broad variety of programs — including business
• It provides common measures and score data for comparing applicants' qualifications across different educational backgrounds, countries of origin and intended majors
• It measures the same level of math knowledge as other leading graduate admission tests
• It presents many questions in a business context
• It does not presume advanced knowledge in any specific content area, including business

* Based on 2011 GRE test volumes.

When you accept GRE scores it is good news for your applicants, too, because it is:

• the only admissions test that can help them pursue either an MBA or other graduate degrees, depending on their career path
• offered at more locations than any other graduate-level admissions test — about 700 test centers in more than 160 countries
• more affordable and includes FREE services such as a listing in the GRE Search Service and four ETS Personal Potential Index Evaluation Reports. Test fee reductions are available for eligible candidates

Plus, starting in July 2012, the new ScoreSelect^SM option lets GRE test takers decide which scores to send to the institutions they designate. Now they can approach test day with more confidence knowing they can send the scores they feel reflect their personal best.

Make sure your prospective applicants know you accept GRE scores.
