Business Insider recently reached out to our very own Stacey Koprince for expert guidance on navigating the increasingly relevant “GMAT or GRE?” conundrum.

Stacey told Business Insider that there are only two circumstances in which a prospective b-school student would spurn the GMAT for the GRE: 

1. They are applying to a dual-degree MBA program wherein the non-MBA program requires the GRE as part of the application.
2. They are appreciably better at the GRE than the GMAT due to the particular natures of each test, and will therefore score significantly higher on it, helping their chances of admission.

Even under one of these circumstances, the student should still choose the GMAT over the GRE if: 

1. They plan to enter either banking or consulting after achieving their MBA, two fields which sometimes require GMAT scores on job applications.
2. Their target schools have a stated preference for the GMAT over the GRE.

But don’t just take it from us; check out the full piece for yourself here.
