What to Expect Compared to the GMAT

The Executive Assessment differs from the GMAT in a number of ways, but at its core tests the same underlying skills. While it is a shorter exam than the GMAT, which can affect stamina related performance issues, this does not translate into a meaningfully shorter preparation process. This is because, like with a new language for example, learning poetry is only mildly less difficult than prose – the linguistic mastery and vocabulary that needs to be attained is the lion’s share of work in both cases.

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.

Verbal Section

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

The verbal section remains relatively unchanged as the EA offers the same question types as the GMAT: Reading Comprehension, Critical Reasoning and Sentence Correction. We read the same way that we listen; passively, a tendency that the EA often exploits. Our verbal lessons will train you to engage the material pro-actively to ensure that you have the skills to breeze through this section.

Quantitative Section

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

The quantitative section of the test provides the same question types as the GMAT: Problem Solving and Data Sufficiency. To succed in this section we’ll train you in a variety of alternative problem solving methods: running scenarios, logical deduction, and mental modeling to name a few. We then help you figure out the ones that best align with your cognitive style, and give you both the tools and structure necessary to score strongly in the quant section.

Integrated Reasoning Section

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

IR plays a more significant role on the EA as it is weighted at the same level as the verbal and quantitative sections.
This complex, demanding, and multi-dimensional section; is designed to test one’s ability to thrive in a data driven world. We will teach you to identify the intersectionality of data, and recognize key homomorphisms (structural similarities) in order to  enhance your overall performance.
