      Anyone's taken either of these before ? ...

      any tips and pointers ? .... which one would be the easier one to score, if you can choose to take either one of these ? .....

      'worth it to sign up for a course to prepare for this ? .... or can just buy a guide from borders and self study ? ...

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

      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.

      and the course I'm looking at ....

      allows you to choose to take either the GMAT or GRE, either of which is a core requirement  ..... that's why I'm asking ...

      i'm not sure of a degree is a requirement to take the tests

      but what's the point if a degree would be a requirement at graduate school anyways .... neh ?
