Thanks for the feedback. I'm glad you found it helpful! Best of luck to you as you prepare for the GMAT, and let me know if there's anything else I can do to help.

@X-Ray Crystallography Lol looks like Dr Berg's videos are hurting your scamming business 😂

@X-Ray Crystallography Wow someone got their panties in a bunch real quick 😂🤭

I

There is CR in GRE.

Thanks so much for ur hard work ☺️ Can I ask if there’s any updates as of Today?

@@andy6076 My pleasure! The link above still reflects the current structure of the GMAT in terms of the Quantitative and Verbal Reasoning sections. Here's the page from the official GMAT website that provides additional details, including the format of the IR and AWA sections: www.mba.com/exams/gmat-exam/about/structure-and-content

Glad you found us! What type of grad program(s) are you applying to? Whichever exam you settle on, we've got you covered. Keep me posted and let me know how else we can help!

Glad this cleared up some of your concerns Aswathi! Best of luck to you and let me know how else I can help.

I'm sure the GRE was honored!

Hi brother ,did you get good college through GRE and did you face any issue can you please suggest it will be very helpful

Glad this clears it up for you! Let me know if there's anything else I can do to help you. Which test do you think you'll end up taking?

That's correct. It's crazy how quickly the industry in changing! At the time I recorded this video, not a single law school accepted the GRE. Now, many do... and many aren't requiring the LSAT any more at all. Are you using the GRE for law school or for a different grad program?

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you!

My pleasure, glad it helped!

You're welcome! Which exam are you leaning toward?

Interesting timing on your question, as Poets&Quants just published this article suggesting that GMAT/GRE scores are less important (and in some cases no longer even asked for) at top consulting firms: poetsandquants.com/2021/05/09/a-gmat-score-no-longer-a-big-deal-for-mbb-jobs/. I personally spoke with a top hiring manager recently who confirmed that they view the GRE and GMAT the same now, so if you are asked for your score, a GRE score should be fine.

You're welcome, and thanks!

o really

Excellent! I'm glad to hear it. Best of luck and let me know how else I can help.

Nice! Glad you figured out which test is right for you. Good luck and let us know how else we can help!

Dominate the GMAT absolutely! I may reach out soon actually to discuss this new venture.

I'll look forward to it!

Yes, we definitively need to know the value of "x" according to the question. Statement 2 yields two possible values for "x" so if I asked you, "Hey, Samantha, what is the value of x?" You would say, "Well, x either equals -5 or 5." And I would respond, "Ummm, that doesn't help. Which one is it?" Since you can't definitively tell me what "x" equals according to Statement 2, it's NOT SUFFICIENT.

You're welcome! I'm glad you found it helpful.

My pleasure, glad it helped! Which exam do you think you're going to take?

GMAT I believe. I'm in businesses major

Thank you!

They're each offered nearly every day throughout the year in the United States, and quite regularly in other countries around the world as well. You should work backwards from your application deadline(s). If your application is due in January, for example, you should plan to take the GMAT/GRE in October or November (or December at the latest). That way you have time to retake it in the even you don't get your target score the first time around. And then of course you'll want to back up another couple of months in terms of when you should start studying for the exams. In fact, now is the perfect time to start your preparations!

If you're starting from scratch, expect to spend 2-3 months preparing. To give you an idea, my comprehensive GMAT course is designed around an 8-week syllabus while our GRE course has a 7-week syllabus. Here's an article I wrote with some data about how long people prepare for the GMAT, on average: www.dominatethegmat.com/2012/07/how-long-should-i-study-for-the-gmat/. These numbers are similar for the GRE.

You're welcome. Glad you found it helpful!

Thanks!

I'm glad my video helped! You can read full details about the format and scoring of the GMAT here: www.mba.com/us/the-gmat-exam/gmat-exam-format-timing.aspx. You can learn specifics of the GRE exam here: www.ets.org/gre/revised_general/about/content/.

thanks!

The GRE General Test is the "main" GRE exam that would be a substitute for the GMAT when applying for an MBA. GRE subject tests are subject-specific tests that are required by some programs that want you to demonstrate proficiency in a very specific subject area. For example if you were going for a PhD in Chemistry, they might want you to take the GRE Subject Test for Chemistry.

I'm not sure I know what you're talking about when you say they're recommending "MBA Math." Does that mean they want you to take a supplemental math course prior to applying to show that you have the quantitative skills to succeed in business school? If so, I've heard of schools suggesting that for candidates who had poor grades in their undergrad math classes. But if "MBA Math" is an actual program or test or something, I'm not familiar with it.

Are you sure you left this question on the correct video? If you can please clarify the location of the question you're referencing, I'll be happy to weigh in with an explanation. Thanks!

@@dominatethegmat Sorry, I forgot to add the timing. It starts at 9:28. I might be over thinking the question or being not native speaker might be hitting me.

@@zv9991 Gotcha, my apologies. I had forgotten that I actually went through some sample questions in this video. The way it works on the GMAT is that if you have a quadratic equation like x^2 = 25, if you were to actually solve that quadratic equation, you would find that "x" could either be +5 or -5. It has two roots, in other words. Since you don't know definitively, Statement 2 is NOT SUFFICIENT. However, if you instead had been told that x = √25, that operates as a function and the answer is x = +5. That would have been sufficient. It's a small but important nuance. Good question.

​@@dominatethegmat Thank you very much for the fast reply. I just began exploring the GMAT. I will develop a better perception in time.

My pleasure! Which test do you think is right for you? Good luck!

Who's the person who told you you should have 4 years? Do you trust that person? Ultimately, I would suggest contacting the admissions office of the school(s) you'll be applying to. They're the final arbiters anyway, and they'll be able to tell you exactly what their requirements and expectations are -- including whether they'd prefer the GMAT or GRE.

Zinal Patel yup no school really accept GRE in Canada

Is what only for non-native speakers? Are you talking about my course? My course appropriate for everyone, wether English is your first language or not. If you're asking about something else, please clarify and I'll respond accordingly.

Most business schools / MBA programs require some form of entrance exam as part of the application process, yes. That said, there are exceptions -- especially when you start looking outside of the Top 50, at part-time programs, or internationally (though many top European and Asian schools require the GMAT as well). If your goal is to avoid these tests, search for "MBA programs that don't require GMAT" and you'll see plenty of lists. But in general my advice is to use other, more important criteria for determining which schools to apply to. Good luck and let me know how else I can help!

You'll probably be okay with the GRE but you should double-check the admissions requirements of your target school(s) just to make sure.

thnk u :)..

Almost, 90% of the universities in USA have started to accept GRE scores for MBA programs. Same goes for the universities in canada and in other parts of the world. I too will start for my preparations for the GRE to pursue MBA from a foreign university.

@@shantanusinghal9654 is it ok if I do only the Gmat for my mba?

Only the GPA of your undergrad. Your high school marks helped you get in to undergrad, and how you performed in college is what graduate schools will look at.

Thankyou so much sir I asked many one the same question but your answer gave me the satisfaction

Absolutely! Please send me an e-mail at brett@dominatethegmat.com and I'll point you in the right direction.

How did you do on the math?

Are you looking to take the GMAT or GRE? Let me know your e-mail address and I can send you an e-mail with details, or I can post a link here if you let me know which exam. Looking forward to working with you!

I am looking to take GMAT. Email me at sakhawattanim@yahoo.com

Great! I just sent you an e-mail.

Both scores are good for five (5) years, so no difference there. Good question.

Thank you for the clear answer.

The GMAT is scored on a 200-800 point scale (Quant and Verbal combined), with a separate score for your essay and Integrated Reasoning sections. A score of 540 is pretty average. A score over 700 puts you in the top 10%. Here's an article I wrote breaking down GMAT scoring, and how to determine a "good" score: www.dominatethegmat.com/2014/07/gmat-percentile-rankings-what-is-a-good-gmat-score/.

Thanks!

+satwansh singh parihar They're included with my Full GRE Prep Course (www.dominatethegre.com/gre-prep-courses-online/full-gre-course/) and Full GRE Verbal Course (www.dominatethegre.com/gre-prep-courses-online/full-verbal-course/).

Many of the top Canadian business schools now accept the GRE in addition to the GMAT, so you should start by checking the admissions requirements of the schools you plan on applying to (consult their websites or call the admissions offices). Then, if they do in fact accept both, you can make your decision based on some of the considerations I pointed out in this video. If they only accept the GMAT, then that's your answer. Let me know how else I can help and good luck!

Sir,thank u for ur valuable reply. Sir I have done 4years BBA & 1year MBA in Bangladesh. But I want to do MBA in canada. So should I take 1year MBA or 2years MBA program? & can u tell me in canada which college doesn't required GMAT or GRE for MBA?

Those questions are better answered by a career counselor and/or MBA admissions consultant. My expertise is in helping people get a great GMAT or GRE score. Whenever you're ready to prepare for one of those exams, I hope you'll consider my course!

Fatematun Nur GMAT GgRE not accepted in Canada

There isn't a set answer to that. Your undergraduate degree isn't the determining factor, it's the graduate program you're applying to. What type of graduate school are you looking to go to?

I'm glad you're liking them! I can't commit to weekly videos, but I will continue to upload content from time to time that there seems to be particular interest in. In the meantime, I have hundreds more videos packaged together as an in-depth, comprehensive GMAT prep course. It goes beyond what I've made available here on KZfaq and will give you a step-by-step study plan and everything you need to dominate the GMAT. You can learn more and register here: www.dominatethegmat.com/video-purchase/full-gmat-prep-course/. I hope to have the opportunity to work with you! (Note: if you opt for the GRE, I have courses for that as well.)

I have a doctor going through my GRE course right now and he's doing pretty well with the math, but I don't have specific statistics for doctors' results on the GMAT vs GRE, no. Yours is an interesting situation. Based on the fact that you definitely want to apply to both programs and both accept the GRE, I'd suggest starting there. If you do well enough on it, it'll pull extra weight with the MBA in Healthcare Management program and theoretically make up for the fact that they'd prefer the GMAT. If they say they accept both, then they won't turn away your application. So you might as well try to kill two birds with one stone if you can. Worst case, the first program wait-lists you or specifically requests a GMAT, at which point you can switch gears and start studying for the GMAT, too. The good news is that much of what you'll learn for the GRE on the quant side (and reading comp on the verbal side) will translate to the GMAT, so it'll speed up your learning curve. Make sense?

yes , it makes a lot of sense . Thank you so much. I agree with you. The GRE is the way to go to be eligible to apply for both programs in the future.

I responded via e-mail. We can continue the conversation there.

No. In fact, you don't get traditional scratch paper. Instead, you get a couple sheets of quasi-marker board that you write on with markers, and then once they're filled up, you use a paper towel to erase them and use them again.

Hi Nitin. I'm not sure I fully understand your question. Please feel free to e-mail me at brett@dominatethegmat.com and I'll be happy to help you further.

For my online classes I use a program called Adobe Connect. Like Skype it enables me to connect with my students using audio and video, but it also has a whiteboard platform which is great for illustrating concepts and sample problems in real-time. Are you looking for an online class? Or private tutoring? Or both? Please feel free to e-mail me directly at brett@dominatethegmat.com if you'd like to discuss your options further.

CGPA? Does that mean "college" GPA? Your undergraduate GPA is part of the admissions criteria when applying to business school, yes. It's weighed alongside your GMAT/GRE score, resume, recommendations, and interview. But there's not GPA requirement for actually taking the GMAT or GRE, if that's what you're asking. In fact, a strong GMAT/GRE can help make up for a low GPA, so it's definitely an important component of the application process.
