Dear Future Business Leader,

By using this book to prepare for the GMAT® test, you are taking a very important step toward gaining admission to a high-quality business or management program and achieving a rewarding career in management. I applaud your decision.

Th e Graduate Management Admission Council® developed the GMAT test more than 50 years ago to help leading graduate schools of business and management choose the applicants who best suit their programs. Today, the test is used by more than 1,800 graduate programs and is given to test takers daily in more than 110 countries around the world. Programs that use GMAT scores in selective admissions have helped establish the MBA degree as a hallmark of excellence worldwide.

Why do GMAT scores matter so much? Other admissions factors—such as work experience, grades, admissions essays, and interviews—can say something about who you are and what you have done in your career, but only your GMAT scores can tell schools how you are likely to perform academically in the business school courses that are fundamental to the MBA degree. In fact, the test has been proven reliable as a predictor of academic performance for more than half a century.

In other words, business schools that require you to take the GMAT really care about the quality of their student body. And excellent MBA students mean a stronger MBA program, a more enriching learning environment, and a more valuable degree for you to take into the business world. By enrolling in a school that uses the GMAT test for your graduate business degree, you will maximize the value of your degree, and that value will pay off in many ways, throughout your career.

I wish you great success in preparing for this important next step in your professional education, and I wish you a very rewarding management career.

Sincerely

David A. Wilson

President and CEO
