GMAT
The GMAT is the standard graduate admittance exam for graduate business schools across the country. We suggest that students take the GMAT at least a couple months before the deadline to apply due to the fact that It takes up to 21 days to receive an applicant's score from the Testing Center. Here are some resources that could be beneficial to one's preparation for the GMAT:
- MBA.com: Offers FREE GMAT Prep software. This is also where you schedule to take your exam.
- Kaplan: Offers in-class preparation all over the country.
- The Princeton Review: Offers multiple resources such as in-class prep, 1-on-1 prep, and self-prep.
