Ep 32 | Test Prep Expert Breaks Down the New GMAT and GRE

It has been just over a year since the Graduate Management Admission Council, or GMAC, introduced the new GMAT Focus Edition which replaced the traditional GMAT exam. What have we learned? How can you best prepare for it? What score do you need to hit to be competitive at top-10 or top-15 business schools? And how does the GRE fit into all of this? In this episode of the mbaMission Podcast, we’re turning to the expert on the subject to answer these questions and more. Stacey Koprince has been teaching the GMAT, GRE, and EA for almost 20 years and is one of the most well-known and sought-after instructors in the industry. She also leads Manhattan Prep’s content and curriculum team, literally writing the books and lessons on test prep.
