The GMAT® stands alone as the premier measure of the skills and knowledge necessary to handle the academic rigor of business school. One of the most important aspects of the test for business schools is the link between performance on the exam and a student’s likelihood of success in business school. A new GMAT® pamphlet explains how that link works and how the test is used to best advantage by business school admissions directors. New and seasoned business school professionals alike will find the booklet to be a valuable source of information.

You may have heard the GMAT® described as a “valid predictor” of how well a student will do academically in core b-school courses, but what does that really mean? Years of research—40 and counting—have proven that the best way to gauge potential for academic success is to combine an applicant’s performance on the GMAT® with his or her undergraduate grade point average (GPA). The GMAT® pamphlet shows how GMAT® scores and GPA stack up separately and together as predictors of academic performance.

Look for the GMAT® pamphlet on your desk in the weeks to come. If you’d like additional copies, email us at webmaster@gmac.com.
