I’m not sure if this is too late, but just in case you still have time to prep, here are a few suggestions from my own experience (of course, take it with a grain of salt!):
- If you find it hard to maintain focus over long periods (as required by the GMAT), the EA can be a great alternative.
- GMAT Focus and EA likely share the same question pool, with EA more toward ~80% medium and easy-level questions. The main difference is EA still includes Sentence Correction
- For SC fundamentals, TTP is a great source – super well-structured, comprehensive, and easy to digest, though a bit time-consuming.
- You should consider buying the Official EA Practice Tests 1 & 2 – they’re the best predictors of actual score
- While GMAT official practice tests may share same question types & contents, the test energy and timing strategy feels different
Here’s what my actual experience looked like:
- Spent 1 week focusing on Sentence Correction (it makes up 6 out of 14 Verbal questions on the EA).
- April 5: Practice Test 1 – 161
- April 9: Practice Test 2 – 160
- April 14 (Test Day): Scored 168
Hope this helps and best of luck with your prep! If you have got good foundation by your prep with GMAT, I think you will do just fine!

Hi everyone,
I have appeared for the GMAT thrice - 655, 645 and 655. Seems like I wont be able to break into the 695 zone. Target schools are Standford MsX and MIT SFMBA.
Planning to switch to EA as the exam is shorter hence daily prep time/ giving mocks too isnt very time consuming. With a new born in the house, I have realised that its just too hard to take out 2 hours a day or even appear for those 2.5 hours mock on the weekend.
Any ideas/suggestions from anyone who has made a similar switch from GMAT to EA - prep time needed, change in strategy for the EA, target score, should I take a prep provider/ mocks et?
TIA!
Best,
Saurav

I’m considering taking the EA to apply for MBA programs (not Executive MBA), even though I know not all schools accept it in this case. But I’m wondering: for those schools that do accept it, is the EA less competitive than the GMAT/GRE? Are the chances of getting in the same?
