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.

To find out why, watch our video, A Good Business Decision (Flash), and hear members of the graduate and business school communities discuss the benefits of using GRE scores for MBA admissions.

The GRE revised General Test makes good business sense because:

• It provides access to a diverse candidate pool — worldwide, about 675,000 people from about 230 countries/regions test annually
• 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

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
