Planning to take the GMAT or GRE? In her latest application tips video, Executive Director of Admissions, Dawna Clarke, shares her best advice for candidates preparing for these tests.

As Dawna notes, the GMAT and GRE are aptitude tests, not intelligence tests. In addition, it’s quite common for candidates to take the GMAT or GRE more than once:

“Most candidates take the GMAT or GRE at least twice… so it’s worth giving the test a couple tries if you’re not pleased with your initial score. If you do take the test more than once, know that our Admissions Committee sees this as a positive – even if your score doesn’t improve. In our opinion, it’s a sign that you’re really serious about the Admissions process.”
