In preparation for applying to the Warwick MBA, I was browsing their website and found this piece of info:

"The Warwick Test may be available as an alternative for certain candidates dependent upon circumstances."

Does anybody have a clue about what this is and how it works? I was planning on taking the GMAT in the next couple of months but if there's an alternative I would gladly consider it. Has anybody explored this as an option?

The main drawback of any school-specific application test is just that - you can't use the scores to apply to any other business school.

If you're only planning on applying to Warwick, perhaps it would be fine. But if you want to apply to other schools, or put off your application until next year, or in general have more flexibility - then take the GMAT.

However dependent upon circumstances makes me think it's something they only give to people who are in a position where they absolutely cannot take the GMAT. Ask them.
