GMAT

How many of you have done it? how was your experience, how much did u score? What did you really learn out of it?. How has it helped you in your studies or work?

I am planning on doing it not that i plan to do mba soon but i think it should be good to have something like g-mat as one of your accomplishments and something that you can put to good use in future studies or work if need be.

What are your thoughts?

I am moving this thread to career and academics:)

Re: G-Mat

accomplishments? :S

from what i know...you have to prepare for it and take the exam to continue higher education. it's like an lsat or mcat.

it's not like a certification.

Re: G-Mat

If you search the C&A forum, you'll prolly get a couple of dozen threads talking about the GMAT.

That being said, the GMAT is not intended to be done for its own sake... no one mentions it on a résumé or a CV - unless you're applying for a job at Kaplan or Princeton Review.

There's no "learning" involved per say - you're supposed to have learned these things through high school and college, and the exam is just meant to test the caliber or quality of skills you've gained through your years of education. That being said, if you end up really "preparing" for the test, you'll get to familiarize yourself with more efficient ways of going about calculations, reading comprehension and essay writing, but these are merely tips that can be picked up through school and work experience as well.
