The TAGE MAGE Admission Test

Definition

TAGE MAGE is an admissions test that measures the skills of applicants seeking to begin or continue pursuing business studies. It assesses verbal, problem-solving and logical reasoning skills.

You can register for the TAGE MAGE test even if you are not applying to HEC Montréal.
