Learn to Love the GMAT

Thursday, October 1, 2015 - 19:00

...with James Barker of the Graduate Management Admission Council®

AUP students don’t necessarily love standardized tests. But many of our graduates do want to go on to business school at some point after AUP.  With more than 6,000 programs offered by 2,000 + universities in 114 countries using the GMAT as part of their selection criteria, the exam is often the decisive factor in a B-school application.  So it’s time to get to know this mysterious yet powerful assessment.

James Barker, Market Development Manager for Europe & the Middle East at the Graduate Management Admission Council® (GMAC®) and former Admissions Coordinator at the Judge Business School at Cambridge University will present the latest version of the GMAT to members of the AUP community. Mr. Barker will take us through the different parts of the exam, tips on how best to prepare for the exam and what to expect on the day itself. There will be an overview of recent candidate-friendly enhancements to the testing experience.  He will also discuss general admissions tips for graduate management education and how GMAT may play a part in that process.There will be plenty of time for questions.
