[情報] Grappling with the GMAT by FT

"Timing plays a significant role in taking the test," says Rose Martinelli,
associate dean of student recruitment and admissions at the University of
Chicago Graduate School of Business. "If you are unable to finish any of the
sections, your score plummets."
Dave Wilson, chief executive of GMAC, suggests doing 100-120 hours of
preparation over seven to 10 weeks. Kaplan, a test preparation and admissions
adviser, recommends two to three months of preparation.
GMAT scores range from 200-800. The mean is about 530 and has been for about
a dozen years. Fewer than 50 people a year get a perfect 800. The test is a
reliable predictor of academic success, says GMAC, but an exceptionally high
score is not always viewed as a clear signal someone will be a good student.
A senior figure within a leading European business school says he has come
across plenty of good candidates whose scores "began with a four".
Conversely, he says he tends to be cautious of people who score 780-800. "I
look very, very closely at them," he says, declaring that their social skills
can often be deficient.
Caroline Diarte Edwards, admissions director for the Insead MBA programme,
believes there is some correlation between GMAT score and academic
performance. However, this does not mean that Insead demands a formal minimum
score. "A common misconception is that you have to have 700 to go to Insead."
