Default Re: GMAT VS GRE difficulty

You might have heard that many who take the GRE are also taking the GMAT, or vice versa. You may be wondering which test is easier, or which is better if you plan to get your MBA.

GMAT

The GMAT is the standardized test for Business school.

Like the GRE, it consists of a Verbal and Quantitative section. Unlike the GRE, the two sections are combined to give a composite score of 800.

The GMAT cannot be used in place of the GRE, so unless you are going to business school, do not take the GMAT.

GRE exam

GRE is accepted by many accredited business schools (ever hear of Stanford or Harvard).

All the top business programs accept a GRE score.

Is the GMAT more difficult than the GRE?

The GMAT math is definitely more daunting.

So if you struggle with Quant the GMAT will seem very difficult.

The Sentence Corrections section is more of the science of grammar, and those with logical minds tend to be more adept at quickly sifting through a morass of words to find grammatical errors.

The GRE Text Completions and Sentence Equivalence questions are testing the art of word usage, a skill most humanities majors have been honing for years.

GRE or GMAT

For those applying to business school, first make sure that your program accepts the GRE.

Look for better shows off your strengths.

If you are unsure, you can always take an official GRE practice test and an official GMAT test (both are free).
