Hi, has anyone sat for the Executive Assessment?
Topics tested are the same as the regular GMAT? Or there's a reduced topics list?
On top of the downloadable sample questions published in Gmac's EA website, are out there any sample exams/questions? (in the case these are shorter/easier than Gmat's regular ones...)
Any other piece of advice for EA?

Guys, this thread is pretty quiet. Any admits to the EMBA program looking to connect and share thoughts?

I recently got admitted to the EMBA Americas program starting January 2017 and was hoping to chat with some admits before entering school in January

Anyone else applying for EMBA-Saturday for the 2/22 deadline?

Bull78 - congrats on getting in! May I ask how you scored on your gmat? I took it yesterday and ended up with a 660, which is a little lower than what I had expected based on practice tests (I lost 3 minutes at beginning of Quant due to palm-scanner issues).

Congrats for your 660 Stephen. I know how hard is to cope with everyday life along with trying to beat the GMAT. What I can tell you is that for EMBA the focus is not on the score, I think yours its Ok as far as your profile and work experience compensates it. In my case I have over 12 years of experience and a financial industry background looking forward to change roles or to start my own company. You can PM me and I can help you with some tips on the application.

I took the executive assessment. It's very similar to the practice test on the GMAC website. I never took the GMAT, so I can't compare.

Hi all. Just took the Executive Assessment, but having trouble interpreting my score. Does anyone know what a "good score" is -- or at least one that's "good enough" for admission? Any way to translate this thing into a regular GMAT score?

Email GMAC directly. Not enough info is published yet. The test is quite new.
