Executive Assessment Articles

Although it may not be as popular as the GMAT or the GRE, the Executive Assessment (otherwise known as the EA) is an MBA admissions test quickly growing in relevance. It is already widely accepted for EMBA and part-time MBA programs, it is starting to gain traction among full-time programs, too. If you like short exams, the EA might be a great fit.

The EA uses nearly the same questions as the GMAT, albeit in a much shorter format, and many of our GMAT articles are useful for EA students. Here’s all of our Executive Assessment tips that might help you on your journey.
