American University Graduate Admissions
GMAT & GRE: We offer the same level of admissions and exam preparation for
graduate school applications as we offer to prospective undergraduate students.
For graduate admissions we will review your applications and guide you through the personal
statement writing process. We will help you prepare for interviews and we offer a full GMAT and
GRE preparation.
The GMAT (Graduate Management Admissions Test) and GRE (Graduate Record Exam)
are similar to the SAT in that they both assess reasoning ability and quantitative skills. The
two exams differ only very slightly from each other and they require the same skills: each has
a ‘verbal’ section, a ‘quantitative’ section and an analytical writing section. Our preparation
focuses on drills to strengthen your verbal, maths and analytical skills and we regularly
administer practice exams so we can check your progress, as well as to give you practice. Our
tutors are experienced in the graduate school admissions process, have successfully applied
themselves and are experienced in tutoring and advising students in the graduate school
applications process and the GRE and GMAT exams.
Most students take 3 – 6 months to prepare for the GMAT / GRE. Your preparation time will
depend on your availability and the results of a diagnostic exam. We also offer an accelerated
2-month GMAT / GRE preparation for those who are able to commit to four hours of daily
studying.
