GMAT
Graduate Management Admissions Test
To help us assess your readiness for graduate business studies, we require a satisfactory score on the Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT), a comprehensive 3.5-hour exam that tests candidates on a variety of skills, such as integrated reasoning, critical thinking, analysis and problem-solving.
The GMAT is administered as a Computer-Adaptive Test (CAT) through the Pearson Professional Centre network throughout North America and at many international test centers. Scored on a bell curve from 200 to 800 (760 score = top 1 percentile), the exam is divided up into four parts:
- Quantitative Reasoning
- Verbal Reasoning
- Integrated Reasoning
- Analytical Writing Assessment
Please visit the GMAT website for more information, including the dates and locations for upcoming exams. The online live-proctored GMAT exam available at MBA.com is also acceptable.
Please consult the details below for information specific to John Molson School of Business.

Graduate Records Examination (GRE)

We recommend that applicants allow, on average, 6 to 12 weeks to adequately prepare for the GMAT exam. If you are not satisfied with your test result, you may retake the exam to improve your score, however, you must wait a minimum of 16 days before re-taking the test.
