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.

I can’t recommend Target Test Prep highly enough. I used TTP to prepare for the Executive Assessment as part of my application to the University of Chicago Booth MBA Program, and the results exceeded my expectations.
The course provided a comprehensive, structured approach that helped me systematically strengthen my quantitative, verbal, and integrated reasoning skills. What stood out most was the clarity of the lessons, the depth of the practice material, and the strategic test-taking advice woven throughout the program. Rather than simply teaching concepts, TTP taught me how to approach the exam efficiently and confidently.
By following the study plan and strategy recommendations, I achieved my target score on the Executive Assessment and was ultimately admitted to the University of Chicago Booth School of Business. The program removed much of the uncertainty from the preparation process and gave me a clear roadmap to success.
For any MBA applicant preparing for the Executive Assessment, especially those balancing work and other commitments, Target Test Prep is an outstanding investment. It played a significant role in helping me reach my admissions goals, and I am grateful for the support it provided throughout the journey.

Preparing for the Executive Assessment while applying to EMBA programs was intimidating, especially with almost no quantitative background. After getting a 147 on my first attempt, I was pretty stressed and looking for something that could help me turn things around fast. I stumbled upon Target Test Prep just one week before my retake, and honestly, it made all the difference. Even in that short timeframe, TTP’s organized structure helped break down complex quant topics so they didn't feel overwhelming. Having video explanations for every single problem also let me quickly spot my mistakes, fix my weak points, and rebuild my confidence in just a few days. Jumping from a 147 to a 157 in a week felt like a huge relief indeed.

I just took the EA and scored 158.
I first started to study for the GMAT, but I wasn't beeing able to study the amount of time needed for the GMAT becouse of work. I decided then to pivot to the EA.
The TTP course was extremely helpful, especially in the Verbal section. As an international student, the Verbal section seemed pretty challenging at the beggining, but TTP made the approach pretty straightforward and helped me achieve a good performance.
Also, in the Quant section, TTP helped me to rebuild foundation, since the last time I saw those topics were 9 years ago. The course also provided me a great way on how to approach questions.
I'm pretty confident that, if I didn't have the support of TTP, I'd probably struggled pretty much for achieving this great score.

Hi, I would like to share my experience and ask for an advice.
After 2-3 days of light preparation (using free resources) I did the 1st mock and got 159 (IR 15 / Q 13 / V 11). Then I purchased official GMAC materials and spent a few days on doing sample questions. Unfortunately, due to other commitments, I had to abandon my preparation, and start from scratch a few weeks later.
When I restarted, I spent 3-4 days on really intense preparation (e.g. doing 100 V questions one day and 100 Q the next day, trying to understand my mistakes). I did the 2nd and 3rd mocks on two consecutive days - got 161 (IR 13 / Q 18 / V 10) and 165 (IR 14 / Q 18 / V 13) respectively. I was negatively surprised by the IR scores (practice questions usually seemed easy to me), and very positively surpised by the Q scores. Relatively low scores in V were expected - I am not a native English speaker, and have never lived abroad. Improving those results significantly over a short period of time would be difficult.
I decided to spend a week on targeted preparation, i.e.:
- IR - didn't work on that at all - I knew that if I don't rush through this section, I can score well
- Q - repeatedly reviewed my previous mistakes and tried to memorize key mathematical formulas
- V - focused on SC - mostly using grammar book found on this forum (it's a great resource! IIRC I improved from like 50-60% correct to 90%+ correct in SC)
In the meantime I've signed up for the actual tests. The availaiblity of appointments in my city was limited - either ~2 weeks or ~4 weeks after restarting my preparation. I decided to pick the earlier date.
Unfortunately, about two days before the test I got sick, and had a dillema whether to go or reschedule. Eventually I decided to go (mostly due to limited availability mentioned above). During the test I felt that my performance is suboptimal - I had difficulty focusing, and hardly managed to answer all questions in time (whereaas during mocks I had typically 10 mins left in both IR and V, and 2-3 mins left in Q). I scored 165 (IR 18 / Q 14 / V 13), which is a good score, but at the same time I feel it's below my full potential. I had the same mock score after the initial preparation for about ~1 week in total, and there is no improvement from the additional week of focused preparation (while doing practice questions I could really see that improvement).
I am now thinking whether it makes sense to re-take the test. 170 should be within my reach - I've already achieved IR 18 in the actual test, and Q 18 twice in the mock tests. Improving V to 18 would be difficult, but 14-15 / 1-3 mistakes should be feasible (I feel now quite confident with SC, but with other questions it's worse - sometimes not knowing the meaning of a certain word can make it difficult to answer the whole question).
Do you think improving from 165 to 170+ would make a difference from the perspective of admission commitees? Or it's better now to spend time on the overall quality of application? The programs I consider are Stanford MSx and MIT SFMBA. I will appreciate your advice!
