GRE and GMAT Test Prep in Houston
Firat Education offers one on one GRE and GMAT prep for students and working professionals applying to graduate school and MBA programs. Both exams have changed recently: the GRE is now about two hours, and the GMAT Focus Edition added a Data Insights section and a new 205 to 805 scale. We build your plan around your starting score, target programs, and a schedule that fits work, internships, and demanding course loads.

GRE vs GMAT: which test fits your goal in 2026
Most business schools now accept both the GRE and the GMAT, while many other graduate programs take the GRE. The GMAT Focus Edition leans into business style data reasoning; the GRE is broader and often preferred by applicants keeping options open across programs.
| GRE (current) | GMAT Focus Edition | |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | Graduate programs broadly, plus most MBA programs | MBA and business masters programs |
| Sections | Verbal Reasoning, Quantitative Reasoning, Analytical Writing | Quantitative, Verbal, Data Insights |
| Length | About 1 hour 58 minutes | About 2 hours 15 minutes, 64 questions |
| Scoring | Verbal 130 to 170, Quant 130 to 170, Writing 0 to 6 | Total 205 to 805, sections 60 to 90 |
| Style | Section level adaptive, heavier vocabulary | Question level adaptive, data and logic focused |
The Roadmap helps you decide with a diagnostic and a look at what your target programs actually prefer.
What we prepare you for
We combine focused content review with the timing and decision making these adaptive exams reward, and we build a study rhythm that works around a full schedule rather than assuming you have open days.
