Introducing the EA!<\/p>\n

<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

GMAC just launched the new Executive Assessment (EA) test which EMBA applicants<\/a> can take instead of the GMAT or GRE. Applicants can still take and submit GMAT\/GRE scores, but according to GMAC, the EA will become the new industry standard. <\/span><\/p>\n

Here are some key features of the EA: <\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 The EA will test a student's analytical abilities such as higher-order reasoning, critical thinking, analysis, and problem-solving \u2013 skills that students applying to EMBA programs will have acquired during their careers. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 It will be scored less \"rigidly,\" and only requires \"modest\" preparation. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 There will be three 30-minute sections \u2013 Integrated Reasoning, Math, and Verbal. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 One can take the EA exam at the same 600 centers worldwide where the GMAT is administered. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 Only six b-schools are participating in the EA launch \u2013 CEIBS, Chicago Booth, Columbia Business School, HKU, INSEAD, and London Business School.<\/span><\/p>\n

The EA costs $350 vs $250 for the GMAT and $160 (or $190 outside the U.S.) for the GRE.<\/span><\/p>\n
