justinfoo SG

I thought GMAT is only used for applying MBA?

FirePig SG

MBA is basically useless as so many ppl are doing it at the moment. Too many MBA grads around here.

justinfoo SG

Useless? It should be depend on which MBA school you go to.

Unless your saying Harvard MBA students are useless? or INSEAD students are useless?

It's those no-name MBAs that's useless

So if your aiming for MBA, score an average of at least 650 and above and make it to the top MBA schools.

GRE for Chemistry and Biology is approximately ‘A’ level Chemistry and Biology standard / difficulty level. If your A level Chem and Bio is good (distrinction grade), you can score in GRE Chem and Bio.
