The Smart Choice: The Benefits of Taking the GRE® General Test for Business School
Are you thinking of pursuing a professional business degree? More business school students than ever before are getting into top-ranked business programs using GRE® scores. You do have testing options. If you’re weighing which test is right for you, this overview of the unique features of the GRE® General Test can help you choose the right one.

The test that gives you more options.

The world’s top business schools view the GRE General Test equally with other graduate admissions tests. It provides schools with an excellent assessment of the skills you need to succeed in MBA and specialized master’s degree programs.
To do this, the test includes Analytical Writing, Verbal Reasoning and Quantitative Reasoning sections, as you may already know. What you might not know, however, is what makes the GRE General Test different.

• GRE® scores are accepted at graduate and business schools. It’s the only graduate admissions test that can be used for both, giving you the option of applying to more top-ranked programs all over the world. Double-check that your top-choice schools accept it.
• You have the freedom to approach the test in the way that works best for you. Unlike other tests, you can preview and skip questions and go back to review and change answers within each section. This can help you feel more at ease and achieve your best scores on test day.
• Scores are good for five years. That means you can take it now and have plenty of time to figure out where and when you want to pursue your degree.
• You decide which scores schools will see. With the ScoreSelect® option, you don’t have to send your scores if you feel you didn’t do your best. With the GRE General Test, you have the option to test again and send only your best set of scores to the school of your dreams.

The path that brings out the best in you.
Because the GRE General Test is not the same old business school admissions test, more people are taking it for MBA admissions than ever. Those who like choice and control, and who think outside the box are the ones on this path. It’s the route that provides the freedom to pursue one’s own definition of success and bring a new level of passion to the pursuit of a business degree. Those doing so are consultants, entrepreneurs, tech specialists, bloggers, accountants and more.
