Neither the GRE nor the GMAT is universally preferred for a Master's in Finance - most programs accept both. Your choice should depend on your strengths and the specific requirements of your target universities.

- GMAT: Focuses more on quantitative and data analysis skills, often valued in finance.
- GRE: Broader test with more emphasis on verbal reasoning and analytical writing.

Check the requirements of your chosen programs and select the test that best matches your skills. If you need help aligning your test choice with your profile and goals, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
