36 year old Property Manager.
Bought the bundle with 300 questions and 2 practice tests.
Followed the schedule the website set over 32 days.
First practice was 160, second was 156.
Wrote the actual today and scored 161 from 18 / 10 / 13.

Test was similar to the practices in difficulty.

I wish I knew how the scoring worked.

On IR you scores perfect no mistakes in Verbal you got 4 and in Math 2 mistakes

The highest you can get is 174 and on a per section basis is 18. The max for the entire test is 174 and NOT 200 as advertised.

You did excellent

Thank you! I thought it was out of 200 so I was a bit disappointed, but out of 174 is easier to get comfortable with.

Took the test today. I got 151 (IR 9, VR10 and QR12). Two practice tests were 148 and 150. Just read the GMAC material. Couple of advices:
1. Don't read detailed GMAT courses. I did that for a bit and I was perfecting one concept versus pracitcing on various concepts and increasing my speed. This is specially if you don't have a lot of time - which is why you are here applying for an Executive program versus a full time MBA.
2. Try to get faster in the IR section. I am never able to finish the 12 questions.
3. Work word and distance related word questions take up a lot of time if you are not good with it. That was in my case at least.

WE: 15+ years in Consulting
Applying at Booth for 2019. They expect 150 total and 10 in quant so I am being hopeful. Fingers crossed.

This is a good thread. Thanks for all your responses and advice.

I took my EA yesterday and scored 151. I am not able to figure our how to actually send the scored to the my list of schools. Can someone guide?

Thanks

Hey everyone
I am going for EA tomorrow.
Not practised much, started preparation 8 days ago.
When I do practice sessions, I merely make 50-60% right.
Practice assessment score is 151.
Will update what will be real exam score, after the test.

Done my EA today and score 158 with ir, vr, qr at 18,9,11 respectivly

My two sample assessment was 151 and 159 respectivly

The quant session was much harder than I do my test, probably not adapt to the question I mostly practice. I blow up the first session and the second session become primary school mathematics....

Done some experiment in the example test, seems the session are adaptive in between. Meaning if you have an high IR score, you will be given more difficult VR and QR on 1st set of question on each session. It quite explain why the VR/QR questions I got in the exam was relatively more difficult than my sample test. The best IR score in my sample test was 14 (total score of 159).

Thanks for sharing your exam experience! This is quite interesting. Regular GMAT does not have this feature, right?

Hello Everyone,
I am giving my EA on May 20th. I bought EA prep material and gave one of the first tests available in the GMAC bundle and my score is 144(IR:7, V:8 and Q:9). I started with preparation and solving the practice questions. Any suggestions on on preparation part?

Hi Yoman, how was your test?
Mine got pretty disappointing today, i got IR 9 Verbal 9 and Maths 8 running out of time in Maths and struggling with the plastic notebook and pen which was not writing. So I asked for another support + another pen (2 requests) that made me so irritated. Just waiting for Insead feedback but not enthusiastic clearly...

Being native french, always lived and worked in France; I clearly understood that I have a serious handicap with english long and tricky passages, and translating text in Maths into proper equations requires more time and ressources than others I guess...
I could pass it another time, but 400 euros is not cheap. Will see with school's feedback.
