Dear nuggins16,

School specific information should be readily available on these school's websites or by contacting them directly. It is always best to check with the schools directly for the most accurate and up to date information. GMAT scores are usually accepted for any master's program housed under a business school. So, if the MIS program is located within a business school of a US university, then it will generally accept a GMAT score unless it specifies otherwise. Once again, you should check with the school directly for the most accurate information.

Good luck,
Lisa

Since I am not a GMAT instructor, I am probably not the best person to ask GMAT-specific questions of around test questions. However, in my experience, I find that people always score higher on practice tests than the actual test, often by a significant margin (>30 points). So, the reason(s) why are probably numerous and vary based on the individual. If you have only taken it once, then it is probably worth taking it again as most people do take it at least twice and do see a difference in their score on the second attempt.

Good luck,
Lisa
