I will be taking the EA shortly and had a few questions...
Is the Executive Assessment interface for 'at home' and at a test taking center the same? And are those the same as the GMAC EA Official Practice Assessments?
Aside from convenience and the timing of when scores are reported, are there any other differences between taking at a center vs at home? Is there a reason people prefer one over the other?
For people who take the EA at a test center, can you use scratch paper? Or are you still limited to a whiteboard like for at home test takers?
Does anyone have a good resource/explainer for how scoring works specifically converting # questions correct to an overall score? I am trying to get a sense of how many questions can be gotten wrong to score 160 or 165. It really seems like a black box and not helped by the fact that the test difficulty is adapative.
Lastly, to confirm, there is no penalty on the EA for wrong answers right?

I work full-time and have family obligations, so I chose to take the EA for practical reasons. It took about 6 weeks to study after work and on weekends, averaging about 2 hours a day. Most of my time was spent brushing up on math, starting with Manhattan's Fundamentals of Math book and moving on to All the Quant. IR and Verbal were a bit of an afterthought, but I spent the final 2 weeks reading through Kaplan’s GMAT Prep Plus, which helped a lot with strategy.
I purchased the 4 official tests and practice questions, and also bought a replica of the scratch pad. My scores ranged from 150 - 155, as others have said, this is probably the best indicator of where you stand. I took the exam at a testing center, where the interface is slightly different than the official practice exams, so I took time to go through the tutorial and understand where everything is. The IR and verbal sections were roughly equivalent in difficulty to the practice tests, but I found Quant to be more difficult. I fell into a couple traps and burned some time on difficult questions that I should have guessed on, making me rush, but I can say that strategy from All the Quant was helpful in making up for it.
Although I know I could have done better on Quant, I am pleased with my overall score and recommend the Kaplan book if you’re already comfortable with IR and Verbal but need strategy. There are probably plenty of other books and programs with similar strategy, this is just the one someone lent me. I think the testing environment plays a big role, as my practice tests were taken at home after work, with a number of distractions and a tired mind. It helped to take the day off on test day, doing a minimal amount of warm-up questions, and going to a testing center for it to feel more serious.
Total: 163
IR: 18
Verbal: 15
Quant: 10
