Taking the GMAT or the GRE?
The paper-based version of the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) will be administered at Northern Marianas College, Saipan Campus, on Saturday, January 20, 2001. The Graduate Record Examination (GRE) – General Test will be administered on Saturday, March 3, 2001.
The GMAT measures the general verbal, mathematical, and analytical writing skills that are developed over a long period of time. It is designed to help graduate schools of business assess the qualifications of applicants for advanced study in business and management.
The GRE – General Test measures verbal, quantitative, and analytical skills that have been acquired over a long period of time and that are not related to any specific field. This test is taken by individuals applying to one of a variety of graduate programs.
If you are interested in taking either one of these tests on Saipan anytime soon, please plan to take them on these dates. No other administrations of the GMAT and GRE – General Test are planned this school year.
You can also make arrangements with the Sylvan Technology Center on Guam to take the computer-based versions of these tests on Guam by appointment. Contact Marie Nelson at (671) 477-0700, e-mail sylvangu@ite.net, for further information.
