inlingua® TestPrep Program is now offering a course in GMAT

For those seeking an MBA degree, a GMAT score is an important part of how you represent yourself to business schools. Particularly in the first round of reviewing applications, college admissions officers strongly depend on the GMAT to help them filter through candidates for admission (see back of this page).

Prepare yourself the best you can for the GMAT and take the test with confidence.

• The inlingua® TestPrep course in GMAT will give you the skills and knowledge you need to optimize your score. Additionally, we want you to take what you learn – concepts in sentence structure, reading, writing, reasoning and math - and be able to apply these to your future graduate studies.
  

Learn the ins and outs of the test.

• The inlingua® TestPrep course balances broad test-taking strategies with focused, individual skill practice in each test section (grammar rules, math formulas, essay structure, etc.). Over the length of the course, instructors cycle through all the test sections several times. In this way, students may revisit strategies and information until they are comfortable with the various types of questions on the GMAT.
  
• The course is designed to involve students in approaching problems from different angles. Students are encouraged to ask questions in class, and they often work together on activities so that they accumulate knowledge through practice, and not just from notes and rote memory.

Get more for less.

What the experts say about the GMAT

The following are excerpts from interviews in Business Weekly Magazine with MBA admissions professionals:

“The first things we look at are quantitative things, such as grade point average and GMAT scores, where applicants went to college, what they studied, what academic skills they bring to the table. That helps us decide whether a person will survive in the program. As much as I sometimes wish it weren't the case, the GMAT really does predict pretty accurately how people will survive in the core curriculum.”

“If you came in the door with a strong undergraduate GPA from a strong school with a series of courses that were academically rigorous, and your GMAT was around 610, it may not be worth your while to take it again. If, on the other hand, for whatever reason, your undergraduate record wasn't stellar, you might want to consider retaking the GMAT to show the committee you have what it takes to get through the program academically.”

“When we see a low GPA, we will look at the GMAT to corroborate or refute it. If the GMAT is very low as well, that's going to be a tough hurdle to overcome. As much as we like to take risks on people, we don't want to admit anyone who won't survive the academics here, and for that reason we look at previous academic work [GPA and GMAT] as an indicator. Now, if the GPA is low and the GMAT is high, you need to explain to us what happened in college.”
