Nothing you type is sent unless you press a button that tells you first what it sends. If a school does not publish a number, the tool leaves it blank. It never guesses.

Why this one exists

194 programmes say the test can be waived

Each school writes its own rules, often in vague words. We read all of them for you.

120 have a rule we can check

The others say something like “the committee decides”. We show that clearly, so you do not plan around a maybe.

You see the school’s own words

For every programme we show the school’s own sentence, so you can check before you write to the school.

Common questions

Is a waiver the same as not requiring a test?

No. A waiver has conditions and someone decides. "Not required" means the test is not part of the application. This tool keeps them apart because the difference decides whether you book an exam.

What usually qualifies someone?

Most commonly: years of work experience, a quantitative degree, professional qualifications like the CFA or CA, or a prior graduate degree. Each school uses a different mix, which is why we check all 194.

Should I still take the test?

Often yes. A waiver removes a requirement; it does not add evidence. If your case rests on quantitative ability you have not otherwise shown, a score is still the cheapest way to show it. That is a judgement call, and it is one worth talking through.

When to talk to a person

This tool works from published facts. It cannot tell you which school to pick, how to explain a gap in your CV, or what your story is. Our consultants help with that.
