The business schools in the United States are accepting Graduate Record Examinations test scores as a replacement for the conventional Graduate Management Admission Test submission in the application process, a spokesman of Kampus Landing- Global Education Specialists stated.
Until now, GMAT was the most acceptable test for admissions in USA business schools MBA programs.
Tejal Laul, Director of Kampus Landing says, “GRE will make more sense for students who are undecided whether to go for MS or MBA.” Though, she advises that students who are sure that they want to pursue MBA degree should opt for GMAT only. GMAT will continue to have more acceptability than GRE for MBA admissions for the next few years.
In June 2012, the GMAT exam will gain a new section designed to measure the test taker’s ability to evaluate information from multiple sources. Incorporating advances in technology and measurement, the next generation GMAT will include a new 30-minute Integrated Reasoning section that will ask the test taker to interpret data presented graphically, analyze different types of information, and evaluate outcomes. Tejal advises students to take GMAT before the new one is implemented. The GMAT Verbal, Quantitative and Total Scores will not change. Test takers will receive a separate score for the essay, as they do now, and for the new Integrated Reasoning section. The overall length of the GMAT exam (three and a half hours) will not change. When the Integrated Reasoning section is added, the Analytical Writing assessment will be streamlined to include only one 30-minute essay prompt instead of two.
