GMAT/GRE/LSAT

The GRE, or Graduate Record Examination, is the test de rigueur for aspiring master’s and doctoral-level applicants across the United States and 160 countries.   Re-designed in 2011, the GRE consists of two sections in Verbal Reasoning (scaled 130-170), two sections in Quantitative Reasoning (scaled 130-170), and one section in Analytical Writing (scaled 0.0 to 6.0).   The exam, which is offered in a computer-based format except in areas where computer testing is unavailable, is a multistage test in which performance on previous sections determines the level of difficulty of subsequent sections. Because of its broad reading and vocabulary emphasis,  the GRE is also considered a valid admissions test for MBA and law school programs across the world. 

The GMAT, or Graduate Management Admissions Test, is the price of entry for American and international business schools. At 135 minutes, the GMAT is short, sleek, digital, and adaptive (from question to question).  The exam, which is scored from 205 to 805, pits you against evil genius test makers on three 45-minute sections: Quantitative Reasoning, Verbal Reasoning, and Data Focus.  Quant abjures calculus and calculators in favor of algebra, arithmetic, word problems, and logic over straight memorization.  Verbal comprises meat-and-potatoes reading comprehension and logical ratiocination. Data Insight tests students on graphs, tables, multi-source reasoning, and data sufficiency.  If the GMAT were a baseball player, it would be a clutch-hitting base stealer; think Rickey Henderson meets Dave Henderson.

The LSAT is the world’s most dignified logical reasoning test, combined with the sartorial flair of HBO’s Suits. Officially, the Law School Admission Test and scored from 120 to 180, the LSAT is a cross-examination on Logical Reasoning (two sections) and Reading Comprehension (one section). Logical Reasoning is where you’re handed an argument and asked to surgically dismantle it.  Reading Comprehension is your chance to prove you can stay awake through a 500-word passage about 14th-century maritime law. The LSAT is less about what you know than your ability to out-reason an AI robot while retaining your elan under stomach-churning time pressure.
