 Executive Assessment vs. GMAT: What to Expect

The GMAT is primarily designed for applicants to full-time MBA programs and other traditional graduate business programs. The EA is for experienced professionals applying to Executive MBA (EMBA) programs or other graduate business programs tailored to more experienced candidates.

EA caters to busy working professionals who have already established significant real-world business skills and expertise. The assessment is often preferred by EMBA programs and other part-time MBA programs that value substantial work experience and leadership potential. With that said, many will also accept the GMAT.

The choice between the EA and the GMAT depends on the specific business school and type of MBA program you are targeting:

 The EA is tailored for EMBA candidates and is an alternative to the GMAT, though the differences between the two have diminished with a new, shorter GMAT released in late 2023. Both tests use the same problem types to test similar skills, so the presumption that the EA is the “quicker” or “easier” exam to prepare for is common, but unfortunately misplaced.

The EA emphasizes Integrated Reasoning as part of its central score reporting, unlike the GMAT which keeps it separate from the 800 score. This can be beneficial to those who are comfortable in more complex and less abstract informational environments, which includes someone who spends a lot of time at work looking at spreadsheets and reports.

Finally, the EA removes the AWA writing section, shortening the exam further, as well as the geometry from the mix on the quantitative side. This may hinder those with strong spatial reasoning, but benefits those who do not find geometry to be their strong suit.

  • If you are applying to top business schools and traditional full-time MBA programs, the GMAT (or GRE) may be the preferred choice, as these institutions often require or strongly recommend the GMAT.
  • If you are a seasoned professional interested in Executive MBA programs or other part-time MBA programs, the EA may be a more suitable option. These programs often appreciate the focus and relevance of the EA for their candidate pool.

Quantitative Section Insights

  • 14 Questions
  • 30 Minutes
  • Score Range: 0 – 20

Success in the EA’s quantitative section requires diverse problem-solving techniques. Your Executive Assessment tutor will tailor your tutoring to include graphic representation, scenario analysis, problem awareness, test signaling, and mental modeling to align with your unique cognitive style.

How does the Executive Assessment differ from other graduate admissions exams, such as the GMAT or GRE?

The Executive Assessment (EA) is an exam specifically tailored towards experienced professionals who are applying for Executive MBA programs. The Executive Assessment is shorter, with stringent math sections, and is often considered an easier test. It is meant for those who do not have the time to prepare for the standardized tests for MBA programs.

The GMAT and GRE, on the other hand, test a broader range of skills and are used for admission to a variety of graduate programs, not just Executive MBA programs.

The scoring system for the Executive Assessment ranges from 100-200, and the structure of the Executive Assessment is simpler than the GMAT, with only three sections instead of four. The Executive Assessment only has 40 questions, compared to the GMAT’s 80 questions.

For those seeking to excel in the Executive Assessment, enrolling in the best executive assessment prep course can be highly advantageous as it provides specialized instruction and resources tailored specifically to the unique format and content of the exam and equips experienced professionals with the necessary skills and strategies to maximize their chances of success in the Executive MBA admissions process.

What is a competitive score for the Executive Assessment, and how can I achieve it?

The average score for the Executive Assessment is around 150-160, but what is considered a competitive score varies depending on the school and program.

Is the Executive Assessment a substitute for GMAT or GRE?

The Executive Assessment is specifically designed for experienced professionals planning to apply to executive MBA (EMBA) programs, whereas the GMAT and GRE exams are used for a variety of graduate programs, including MBA programs.

It’s always important to check with the specific schools and programs you’re interested in to see which exams they accept and which one is most relevant for you.

How Long Does it Take to Prepare for the Executive Assessment exam?

Two to three months of study is generally recommended, but the amount of time needed to prepare for the Executive Assessment (EA) varies among individuals.

This preparation period depends on two factors; the skills that a candidate needs to develop, and the time it takes to habituate these skills. For example, the applicant’s familiarity with quantitative concepts can significantly lengthen or shorten prep time, while their comfort level with navigating uncertainty can similarly be strengthened through a longer timeline with a similar amount of instruction.

Bottom line; It’s personal, and we’re here to help guide you along the way.

What is Executive Assessment Official Practice?

The Executive Assessment Official Practice materials, provided by GMAC, offer a solid foundation for EA prep.

Apex’s comprehensive materials and expert instruction are often necessary to optimize preparation. Our customized plans, proprietary materials, and strategic insights complement the official resources, helping you master content, develop test-taking strategies, and build confidence to excel on the EA, which self-preparation alone may not provide.
