What they're saying...

New York Times Standardized Tests are Becoming More Important “I think it’s a great idea to have some standard of measure for all MBA students.” MBA Student, Pace University The Journal News “[The CMBA] would standardize students in terms of attending different schools.” The State News “[The CMBA] may be useful for businesses to have some base-line knowledge, like a skill inventory for managers.” Associate Professor, University of Wisconsin Badger Herald “We are going to see a continued need for standardized testing, and the reason for that is, in my opinion, without an objective measure, what does one do?” President, Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC).
