Ok, I've decided to apply to a master's program at UA. I already have one Master's degree but my GPA was high enough I got to skip the GRE and MAT. So, this is a new experience. The program in which I'm applying allows me to have the option to take both tests. I'm not terribly good at math but decent in reading comprehension, vocabulary, etc. I'm leaning towards the MAT. Anyone on here have any experience with either one and which would you recommend? TIA

Doesn't the GRE have more math?
Also, this program will give me another advantage in the workplace in a skillset I'm lacking. Would give me more opportunities to further my advancement and increase my pay with my current company.

GRE is middle school math. Fractions and stuff.

The GRE is easy. Take it.

Easier than the MAT? The MAT only takes an hour while the GRE is 2 1/2 hours long. I guess I had always thought the GRE was harder. This is why I started this thread. Thanks!

GRE takes that long if you use the alloted time. I think I had to write a paper too, not sure.
Just take a quick practice test and see how the math is (easy stuff). I think I got a 160 in math and a 150 in English with no studying.
