How should I prepare for the GMAT?
Practice, practice, and then more practice! The GMAT consists of three sections: Analytical Writing Assessment (AWA), Quantitative, and Verbal. Most test takers will tell you that the questions are not hard; the hard part is efficiently managing your time during the exam so that you can answer every question. |

Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) |
 |
The business school classroom is dynamic, fast paced, and intense to say the least. Having a strong command of the English language is vital so that students can actively participate in classroom discussions and debates.
The TOEFL exam measures the ability of nonnative speakers of English to use and understand English as it is spoken, written, and heard in college and university settings. The TOEFL test is offered in different formats depending on a test taker's location. The TOEFL Internet-based Test (TOEFL iBT) tests all four language skills that are important for effective communication: speaking, listening, reading, and writing. Source: http://www.ets.org
