I haven't been able to find very much information on the Executive Assessment (EA) which has been frustrating. I recently received some guidance that I should share on the math portion of the EA:
From either GMAT or GRE, the headlines for the Executive Assessment would be:
1) It officially does not test geometry, so absolutely skip geometry.
2) It's designed to emphasize what GMAC calls "applied math" (word problems and the kind of math you regularly see in business, like statistics and probability) over "pure math." So heavily emphasize:
-Word Problems
-Linear Algebra
-Percents & Ratios
-Statistics
-Probability
And don't worry much about:
-Exponents
-Roots
-Quadratics
The tricky thing with "don't worry much about" is that they haven't officially said "none of that" and the tests are so short and less-common that it's hard to say "never." But at the same time their whole goal and style is to be really practical with math, so as long as you're not stunned/flummoxed when you see an exponent or a root sign, you're fine.
As you continue to prepare for the Executive Assessment, I hope you’ll take advantage of our free resources! Since it’s basically a shorter version of the GMAT, and the GMAT is very similar to the GRE.
