Gre vs. GMAT. What is better for MBA journey


I'm aware that this might not be the best platform to ask this. But hey - why shouldn't I?

I have been preparing for my MBA journey for the last 8 months and I have had this question several times in the Journey: Which to pick - GRE or GMAT?

This question was mostly driven when there is a challenge, I'm certain - that my brain wants an easy way out and that's when this thought is invoked and I have wasted around 3+ months switching b/w the both.

Share your thoughts on this.

Wow, I did not realise some places required you to do a test in order to be able to do an MBA.

I did an MBA without having to do any pre-tests, but rather just on the basis of my previous degree GPA and my work experience.

My honest thoughts would be don’t do an MBA - having done one. It’s a regret for me, not because I didn’t learn anything because I definitely did, but it was expensive and I don’t think the return on investment has been that worth it. I think knowing what I know now, I would actually have been better off to have chosen to specialise in something rather than graduating with a generalised Masters. Maybe do masters in economics, or finance, or if it’s people management you’re interested in then org.psych. But don’t waste money on an MBA.
