Standardised aptitude tests like the GMAT and GRE are required for most business school degrees, including MBA programmes. 

But with the plethora of information out there, getting started can feel a bit overwhelming. INSEAD's Degree Programmes recruitment team took the plunge and attempted both tests themselves, going through the entire actual in-person test-taking experience for both the GMAT and the GRE to experience first-hand what applicants will be going through.

In this series, we share insights on the GMAT and GRE tests, identifying the differences between them. INSEAD also provides a five-step study plan to help you ace your chosen exam with the addition of practice tests for both the GMAT and GRE.
