What it is for and who accepts it

Designed by GMAC for experienced working professionals as a shorter, lower-prep alternative to the GMAT or GRE; used mainly for Executive MBA admissions and also by part-time, online, flexible, and some full-time MBA and business master's programs (Clear Admit, 2025)

Accepted by more than 250 programs across 100+ business schools worldwide; mba.com maintains the official list of accepting schools and programs (mba.com (GMAC); Clear Admit, 2025)

Worth knowing

Built to require less preparation and less test time than the GMAT or GRE, reflecting its audience of busy working professionals (Clear Admit, 2025)
The three section scores are equally weighted in the total score, so Integrated Reasoning counts as much as Verbal or Quant (mba.com (GMAC), 2025)
An additional online attempt can be scheduled to start as soon as 24 hours after the previous appointment is completed (mba.com (GMAC), 2025)
Results are valid for five years, giving applicants flexibility on when to apply (mba.com (GMAC), 2025)
