I’m writing this because not much seems to written yet about the EA. I took the test today and want to share thoughts while they’re fresh and before the wine kicks in. In bullet form because I’m lazy: - I’m 48 years old and haven’t dealt with the material on the test in nearly 30 years - I scheduled myself for the GMAT, bought a GMAT study book, studied for a while, then concluded that if the GMAT is what’s needed to “go to the next level,” then my current level will have to be good enough. - I later learned about the EA and scheduled it. I only used the official online GMAC tools, nothing else. - I didn’t finish the study materials (I’m also doing a calculus course online to fix an old crummy grade). - I didn’t take any timed practice tests. I wish I had. - The test was hard. Time management was my biggest weakness. If I was doing it again (and I may), I would quickly complete questions I know I can answer, then go back. I wasted too much time trying to solve hard questions. - Time management was not an issue on the verbal section, which turned out to be my highest-scoring section. I finished that one early and didn’t spend much time reviewing. - In general I thought the GMAC study questions were harder than those found on the test. That’s a good thing. - Final score: IR 11 / Verbal 18 / Quant 11 / overall 160 - Unclear what those scores mean - Happy to answer questions Moderator Note: Starting Feb 2021, GMAT Club is offering EA Tests using the GMAT Club's tough quant question bank and new never-before seen IR questions.

Admissions committees evaluate the GMAT/GRE in context — your background, your representation in the applicant pool, the strength of everything else in your file. The same score works for one candidate and falls short for another with identical numbers.

I scored a 164 (18 IR 15 VR 11 QR) on the executive assessment with the help of Target Test Prep and the GMAC Official Prep materials. I started studying in May 2025 exclusively using TTP. At the start of my prep I was scoring in the mid 150s with mixed bag results. I found the adaptive feature of the TTP calendar/roadmap feature to be very helpful with structuring my study time. I spent about 6-8 hours each week studying mostly in the evenings. I followed the scope and sequence outlined on the platform and took my time to read the guides, watch the videos, practice the questions, reset the questions, and practice them again. I took a break in July and resumed studying again in September mostly focusing on integrated reasoning and quantitative reasoning practices sets. Once I felt comfortable, I switched over to the official practice premium collection, first completing the practice sets and then doing each assessment twice. I spent about three weeks on the GMAC platform studying about 8-10 hours each week. When I took the test in October, I felt nervous but prepared. I was able to pace myself well but because I did so well in the IR section the rest of the test felt very hard. If I could do anything differently, I would allocate even more time studying the section on TTP that addressed probability! Overall, I'm glad I took the time to study and invested in the TTP course and GMAC materials as it certainly paid off.
