Internship
Business admissions continue to be highly competitive; a good GMAT score can mean the difference between acceptance and rejection onto an MBA program - so prepare fully and beat the competition. But What is GMAT?
The Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT®) test is a computer-adaptive test that is available year-round at test centres throughout the world. This test measures basic, mathematical, and analytical writing skills. It is specifically designed to help Business Schools to assess the qualifications of applicants for advanced study in business and management. The test yields four scores (verbal, quantitative, total and analytical writing assessments) in order to measure applicants' potential academic performance in graduate management education. Each of these scores is reported on a fixed scale. A good preparation kit explains the strategies and techniques to solve the problems.
Over 1900
graduate schools around the world use GMAT scores as a part of their
admissions process. For example only in London, more than 24
graduated schools required this certification.
The GMAT is sponsored and directed by the Graduate Management Admissions Council (GMAC) an international organization of 131 graduate business schools. It provides free test preparation software and preparation materials to purchase as well as suggestions about how to prepare for the exam.
Rules of the Game
Your GMAT score is valid for five years, so you have the flexibility of "banking it"-choosing to start your graduate studies right after university or later on. Remember, if at first you don't succeed, you can take the GMAT exam again. Remember, though, that all of your GMAT scores from the past 5 years will appear on your Official Score Report.
No matter what the schools state in public, your GMAT score will make or break your chances of admissions. Although exceptions are made, they are rare. The minimum acceptable score is 650 by the top schools. Exceptions are made, but candidates take a calculated risk by hoping that they will be the 'exception'. Take this exam seriously. Prepare rigorously, but play the GMAT like a game. Not all institutions place the same degree of emphasis on the results. Harvard for example, puts more stress on the analytical writing sections and on the uniqueness of your professional profile and real leadership experiences.
