As an experienced professional, you’re busy juggling the demands of work and home. Once you’ve made the choice to go back to school for your MBA, what comes next should fit both your priorities and your experience. The Executive Assessment (EA), from the makers of the GMAT exam, is easy to schedule, short in duration, and requires only minimal preparation.
That small time investment in EA prep should be focused on getting familiar with the test to ensure you’re confident on assessment day. In this episode of the Inside the GMAT™ podcast, we discuss expert advice for how best to prepare for the Executive Assessment. Our guest is Manish Dharia, Director of Product Management for the Executive Assessment at GMAC.
Episode 14: Prepping for the Executive Assessment
Here are some highlights from the conversation.
On how to get started with Executive Assessment prep:
“The first thing our candidates should do is go visit the Executive Assessment website. There’s a lot of great information there, a blog that offers great tips and guidance, and for those of you who are trying to get a quick understanding of the types of questions that are on the EA, we offer a free sampler, which offers an example of each question type presented on the EA, and it also gives you answer explanations. So it’s a great place to get familiar with the assessment, maybe get an early read on where you might need to focus more of your prep time before you begin your full prep.”
