The better test really depends on the applicant’s background and career plans. Someone targeting only MBA programs, especially in finance or consulting, should choose GMAT Focus Edition. Schools and employers often expect it, and it reflects a clear business focus.

Applicants with a mixed goal, like MS + MBA, or from liberal arts or non-tech backgrounds, may find GRE more approachable. Its quant is simpler, and the verbal section focuses more on vocabulary than logic.

GMAT Focus skips the essay section, which makes it shorter, while GRE still includes writing tasks that can support applicants with strong communication skills.

Some schools convert GRE scores into GMAT equivalents, but not all display GRE averages in their class profile. So, GMAT sometimes offers better transparency in school research.

For those 100% sure about a business path, GMAT gives a slight edge. But for anyone exploring more than just an MBA, GRE keeps things flexible.
