Executive Assessment Prep: Study Smarter, Not Harder

Afraid you’re too busy to apply for an MBA as a working professional? The Executive Assessment, from the makers of the GMAT exam, was made exactly for people like you.

The Executive Assessment is an MBA admissions test that values the knowledge and real-world experience you bring to the table. The best part: it requires minimal prep, helping you demonstrate your readiness to your target MBA programs with minimal impact on your demanding schedule.

So, how can you study smarter and not harder? Here’s three tips to keep in mind as you strive to make the most of your limited prep time.

Make a realistic plan (and stick to it!)

The smart way to begin your prep is to make a plan. The secret to an effective plan (that is, a plan that you follow through on) is to make it realistic. If you get too ambitious at this stage, it may lead you to get discouraged and get less far than you would have had you set a more attainable goal. 

Looking for some guidance? The all-new Executive Assessment 4-Week Study Planner gives you a self-guided, step-by-step worksheet to help you conquer your test prep with the benefit of expert advice and direction on what resources to take advantage of.

Prep with the real thing

When your time is limited, the last thing you want to do is spin your wheels with prep materials that aren’t going to get you ready for your test day. So why prep with anything but the real thing?

Focus your time on your opportunity areas
