how long did you study for it? Any advice for me? Thanks

I just reviewed the practice questions from the EA official website. It shows you the format of the exam and has 100 practice tests for each section. The link is https://eaofficialprep.gmac.com/
It took about 2-3 weeks for me to study and finish the tests.
General speaking, EA test format is exactly like GMAT (IR, Verbal and Quant) with the difference that there is no analytical writing and no Geometry in the quant section. There are less number of questions for each section and total exam duration is 90 minutes.

Thanks for sharing your practice strategy. If you don't mind asking, what was your score on the test?

PS: You can now add EA scores to your profile https://gmatclub.com/forum/ucp.php?i=ap ... nformation

Getting through all of that material in 2-3 weeks is impressive! What what your score? My practice tests average 144...aiming for mid/high 150s.

My Score was 153. If you scored 144 without any practice you should be able to get mid/high 150s with few weeks practice. It's just the matter of familiarize yourself with the format of the test and types of questions and methods to attack them. Good luck

Thanks for the vote of confidence. I will keep track of my questions to see where I need to improve.

TonySko and qwertyu0503,
Which area of focus you are applying for?
I am applying R1 too for Sustainability

Likewise sustainability is the area that interests me the most as well.

Posted from my mobile device

I am applying to asset management as I am in asset management. I feel a lot of people are in sustainability. AM was the smallest in the last round I believe.
Where's everyone's progress at? I will probably start working on the essays soon.

Has anyone submitted their application?
