Tes GMAT untuk belajar MBA di luar negeri

Leaving on Jet Plane

What’s the GMAT?

Graduate Record Examination: Tes standar yang diambil agar dapat masuk ke business school (MBA) di beberapa negara termasuk Amerika Serikat, Canada, Australia, Singapore and China.

Dimana dan bagaimana saya bisa ikut tes GRE di Indonesia?

Untuk sementara ada dua pilihan 1) Universitas Indonesia (UI) yg di Jkt pusat 2) Informatics (Surabaya).  Tapi daftar duluh di www.mba.com, situs resmi untuk GMAT (www.gmac.com resmi juga). Masih ada dudukan untuk bulan Maret 2010 tapi lama2 penuh. Tesnya tersedia tiap hari (Sen-Jum), kecuali pusat testing sudah penuh.

Berapa harganya GMAT?

Ternyata tes ini lebih mahal dari GRE atau TOEFL: USD 250.

Saya dengar ada program MBA yang menerima GRE maupun GMAT?

Betul. Dimana2 “top school-nya” malas memaksa calon-calon yg sudah mempunya hasil GRE bagus daftar dan ikut GMAT karena dua2nya tes ini cukup sama. Program-program golong biasa belum berani berubah adatnya  (MBA = GMAT). Sedangkan Harvard, Stanford, Yale, Wharton, University of Melbourne, University of Hong Kong, dan Seoul National University termasuk program2 MBA yg menerima hasil GMAT maupun GRE.

Apa bedanya GRE & GMAT?

a)      banyak program MBA yg belum terlalu dikenal GRE

b)      harga (GRE = USD 165; GMAT = USD 250)

c)      bentuk soal sedikit beda (kecuali bagian reading comprehension dan AWA)

d)     soal quantitative (matematika) GMAT lebih sukar drpd GRE

e)      kosa kata ingris yg punya GRE lebih sukar drpd GMAT

Belajar GMAT gimana caranya?

Latihan soal, jawaban standar untuk menghadapi tes apapun. Kalau cerdas sekali, tiga atau empat bulan cukup untuk latihan soal. Kalau merasa kemampuan Bahasa Inggris dan matematika dasar masih perlu dipoles, persiapkanlah diri selama mungkin. Latihan soal bisa dilakukan sendirian atau mengikuti prep course khusus.

MBA 2011 — masih ada waktu (tapi sedikit ; )

Fall 2011 admissions update:

Welcome back from holiday. Please notice that it’s not yet too late for fall 2011. If you don’t have time to read the entire post, at least download the deadline/ application information link (.pdf) so you have all the information for top MBA programs next fall. It’s a great resource. It will help you make your decisions faster this week.

For that matter, today is a good time to put all your test prep and applications tasks onto one calendar. Then print it. The whole process may take you 5 hours or more. But it’s worth it. I promise you can finish the calendaring process in one day.

Here’s what I would recommend:

Informasi GMAT MBA

  • Your TOEFL/ IELTS should be complete by now
  • So, go online now and create candidate profiles/accounts at all your target MBA programs
  • Now, draw up a short list of referees (to write your letters of recommendation) and send them an E-mail tomorrow
  • You should register for GMAT by Friday (this week)
  • Purchase your study materials this week
  • Once you’re familiar with what you have to study, put your test day and all study tasks and goals to complete before test day on the calendar
  • Schedule 2 days “holiday” from your study routine to make an 1) outline 2) rough draft of your personal statement
  • Add DHL / Fed-Ex dates to calendar (leave 5 days for hard copies to reach the admissions office from Indonesia)
  • Working backwards from your the DHL/ Fed-Ex dates, add your other applications tasks to the calendar so that everything can be finished in time (notice this may require you to revise your “budgeted” test prep hours)

Finally, E-mail calendar to strata.g.indonesia@gmail.com. Time permitting, we  can provide my general observations about the practicality, ambitiousness and risk factors entailed by your goals and calendaring.  (You’ll need to complete our intake survey so we know your academic profile and current employment demands.)
