Your knowledge of business,

Your job skills,

Specific content in your undergraduate or first university course work,

Your abilities in any other specific subject area, or

Subjective qualities—such as motivation, creativity, and interpersonal skills.

Your GMAT®  score is valid for five years, so you have the flexibility of “banking it”—choosing to start your graduate studies right after university or later on.  Remember, if at first you don’t succeed, you can take the GMAT®  exam again. Remember, though, that all of your GMAT®  scores from the past 5 years will appear on your Official Score Report.
