GMAT. GRE. Grrr! How to take the pain out of MBA test prep

Written by Susan Petty | 1/13/2016

 

It’s universal. Studying for and taking the entrance exams required for admission to many MBA programs is a low point for many in the MBA application process. 

And yet, there’s no getting around it: You'll need to take the GMAT or GRE in order to apply to a top MBA program.

Maybe you’re several years out from a school setting and have forgotten how to study. Maybe your math skills need some sharpening. Maybe the thought of coming home after a long day and logging several hours of exam prep is soul crushing.

We at the Berkeley MBA Programs hear you. And while we can't make the tests go away, we do have some tips on making test prep as pain free as possible.

From understanding exactly what you're up against to learning how to pace yourself, we hope our new ebook Avoiding the GMAT/GRE Blues helps you feel at the top of your game.

We've even included two "Countdown to test day" planners—one for a 9-week schedule and one on an accelerated 5-week schedule.
