The document provides advice for preparing for the GMAT and GRE exams. It notes that students often struggle because the exams cover material from high school that they may not have studied in years. It recommends starting preparation early, ideally in the junior or senior year of college, and allowing at least 3 months to study. Taking a prep class can help learn test-taking strategies and understand what each exam tests. While either exam can be taken for graduate school, the GMAT is specifically for business schools, and the GRE is more vocabulary-focused. The document provides resources for studying and registering for the exams.
