The Cameron School of Business is offering a discounted Graduate Management Admissions Test course for students considering applying to a graduate business program. The University has partnered with the Princeton Review to offer the course to students for a discounted rate of $650, originally priced at $1,249.
The course provides a full 23-hour preparation program, along with complimentary practice tests, review books, online applications and extra help from the instructor, which comprehensively addresses the GMAT. According to the Princeton Review, students that take their preparation course have an average improvement of 92 points.
The GMAT serves as a standardized measure of verbal, mathematic and analytical writing skills for colleges offering a graduate business degree program, by serving as an indicator of both qualifications and overall stamina. Sections include quantitative reasoning, critical reading and an essay portion. It does not test specific business knowledge.
The GMAT is necessary for admission into most graduate business programs and is administered by the same company that offers the ACT, the undergraduate college admissions test. The test is graded on a scale of zero to 800 points and over two thirds of test-takers score between 400 and 600 points. Although most schools, including UST, do not require a certain score for admission, many schools publish their average accepted score as a guide to prospective students.
The first preparation course has already begun, but two more courses will be offered, one beginning on March 9 and another at a later date to be announced. For more information, call the Cameron School of Business at 713-525-2100.
