Increase Your GMAT Score
The Graduate Management Admission Test, better known as the GMAT, is a critical part of the business school application process. The GMAT test is a multiple-choice, computer-based and computer-adaptive standardized exam that is often required for admission to graduate business programs (MBA) globally. This test provides business schools with common measures of a student applicant's readiness for graduate-level academic work. School admission committees look at student GMAT scores, in addition to their work experience, academic record, and other supporting materials, to assess a student's readiness for an MBA program.
This course will prepare students with a command of basic arithmetic, algebra, geometry, multi-source data analysis, and grammar. Students will also focus on increasing their ability to analyze and evaluate written material, think critically, and solve problems. By focusing on these areas, students will know how to reason through and analyze information to earn a stellar GMAT score. This high GMAT score will have a direct and positive impact on a student's business school application.
