To get into an MBA in Singapore you typically need a GMAT or GRE scorecard plus IELTS, TOEFL or PTE for English proficiency. Some Singapore universities may accept their own admission tests, so you would not need another exam. Waivers vary, so check each school.

My Advice
Shortlist your schools and check whether each one accepts GMAT, GRE or its own test, since that can save you a whole exam. Also plan your visa application early because the offer depends on it.
