Hi rishabh goel,

Before you go down this path, you should first see whether your desired schools accept the EA. Have you done that?

MartyTargetTestPrep · Answer

In general, schools accept the EA either for EMBA programs or for MBA programs only if the applicant has a specified amount of work experience.

So, if you are pursuing an MBA, its likely that your target schools will not accept the EA.

So, your move is to check to see whether any of your target schools accept the EA.

The GMAT and the Executive Assessment (EA) are both standardized tests that are used by business schools to assess the academic abilities of potential MBA students. However, there are some key differences between the two tests.

Length

The GMAT is a longer test than the EA. The GMAT takes 3 hours and 7 minutes to complete, while the EA takes 90 minutes.

Sections

The GMAT has four sections: Analytical Writing Assessment (AWA), Integrated Reasoning (IR), Quantitative Reasoning (QR), and Verbal Reasoning (VR). The EA has only three sections: Quantitative Reasoning (QR), Verbal Reasoning (VR), and Integrated Reasoning (IR).

Content

The GMAT covers a wider range of topics than the EA. The GMAT includes questions on a variety of subjects, including math, grammar, reading comprehension, and critical reasoning. The EA focuses more specifically on business-related topics, such as data analysis, problem solving, and decision making.

Scoring

The GMAT is scored on a scale of 200 to 800, while the EA is scored on a scale of 100 to 200. The EA scores are not directly comparable to GMAT scores, but an EA score of 150 to 155 is roughly equivalent to a GMAT score in the upper 500s to lower-to-mid 600s.

Who should take the GMAT or EA?

The GMAT is a good choice for students who are applying to a wide range of MBA programs, including full-time, part-time, and online programs. The EA is a good choice for students who are applying to executive MBA programs or other programs that are designed for working professionals.
