GMAT and GRE Information
The UW Oshkosh MBA Program requires either the GRE or GMAT exam for admission. Both exams measure verbal, quantitative and analytical writing skills, and are designed to help predict a student's successful academic performance.
Please try to schedule the test 30-60 days in advance. We strongly encourage you to review before taking either exam. Free downloadable PowerPrep review software is available from the following Web sites:
For the GMAT: www.mba.com
For the GRE: www.gre.com
A number of good review books are also available at local and online bookstores such as www.amazon.com and www.barnesandnoble.com. The largest sellers are Barrons, Kaplan and Princeton Review.
If you purchase a review book, we encourage you to purchase a review book/CD-ROM package.
