Thank you Brett! Could you do a video about Online GMAT vs. In-person GMAT? Is one weighted more or more preferred than the other? Thank you!

You're welcome, Crimson! As for online vs. in-person GMAT, they've pretty well equalized and are both viewed as valid by admissions offices. The major differences are that you don't have to write an essay for the online GMAT, but you can't select your section order on the online exam, either. Otherwise, the testing experience is pretty much the same. I do have a video up on this channel with tips for excelling on the Online GMAT, so give that a watch. As long as the GMAC keeps the online version of the GMAT available, it's perfectly acceptable to use for your applications.

thanks. very helpful.

Hi, thanks for the video. I have a question, If I prepare for the GMAT, is it possible to get a great score at taking EA?

If you prepare for the GMAT, it should translate well to the EA. Whether or not you get a "great" EA score depends on how effectively you actually prepare, of course (i.e. are you studying the right things? employing the right strategies? doing the right practice? etc.). And there are some important differences with the structure of the two exams and the consequent time management considerations, so I'd certainly encourage you to take a couple full-length EA practice assessments before sitting for the real thing. But content-wise, the two exams are pretty similar.

I was preparing for the GMAT a couple of years back -- pre-covid, but couldn't take it as I lost interest in it during covid. Do you suggest restarting the GMAT prep or taking the EA to get a quicker "decent" score? Also, IR is something I never did great on the GMAT but managed a 5-8. I was around a 43-46 quant and a 32-36 verbal back then. Max verbal i got on the manhattan mock was 38, and max quant on the same was 48.

Also, is GRE a better option compared to the EA? I check the GRE, and found it's quant a little easier as compared to the GMAT. It is a crunchprep free trial I used. I found GRE verbal competitive but somehow managed a 158 whereas I could manage a 157 on the quant.

Hi Shrey! I would recommend starting by checking the admissions requirements of the school(s) you're going to be applying to. While some full-time two-year MBA programs accept the EA, most don't yet. So in that case, you'd be deciding between the GMAT and GRE. If you're looking at an EMBA program, they may only give you the option of GMAT or EA (and not GRE). And some schools (e.g. INSEAD) strongly prefer one exam over the other (they prefer the GMAT) even if their website technically says they accept both. So start there. If all three exams are in fact possibilities for you, then I can help you figure out which exam you have the best chance at scoring the highest on. Please e-mail me at brett@dominatetestprep.com and we can continue the conversation there.

If I studied for the GRE. Will there be overlaps for me to take the EA?

A lot of the math concepts on the GRE are tested on the EA (and GMAT), but in different ways. You'll find a lot of similarities on the Problem Solving questions, specifically. But you'll definitely need to get up to speed on Data Sufficiency, which is a unique way of thinking about quantitative reasoning and very different from Quantitative Comparisons on the GRE. On the verbal side, it'll be a lot of new stuff for you to learn. Pretty much only Reading Comprehension is similar. And Integrated Reasoning will be totally new for you.

Hey how many test attempts I am allowed to take on EA, it shows 2 time everywhere is it 2 per week/month/year/forever !? Also if I take 2 attempts do they take the average or the highest !?

As of now, you get two attempts on the EA forever. However, there's a bit of a loophole. You're limited to two attempts on the test center EA... but you also get two attempts at the Online Executive Assessment. They treat the two versions separately (even though they're the exact same exam). So technically you can take it four times. And "yes," schools only look at your highest score (they don't average your scores).

Hello, I saw some videos related to gmat. And I have some questions about the exam: we know most mba courses requires gmat and the essential score is only 800 which comes from verbal and quantitative sections. Does other scores I mean 6 and 8, maximum scores in integrated reading and analytical writing affect the amount of our scholarship or our entrance to the universities

I can't speak definitively for all business programs, obviously, but in my experience admissions offices generally put significantly more weight in making their admissions and scholarship decisions on your "main" 200-800 point GMAT score, and not as much on your 0-6 AWA and 1-8 IR scores. Keep in mind that they also factor in your academic record and other factors.

how long it takes to prepare for EA? I am targeting Oct 15th deadline. Do I have enough time to prepare? I gave GMAT in 2005 and got 660 when I came to the US as a fulltime MBA student.

The good news is you have a base to work from. But 2005 was a while ago! So you'll definitely need to brush up on everything. To give you an idea, my EA course is designed around a 4-week study plan (assuming 8-10 hours per week). Most students are able to prepare in 30-50 total hours, depending on your target score. So yes, you should be able to get ready by October 15th... but it'll take some work! (Note: All of the video content and practice problems in my course are available on-demand, so you can progress through the material as quickly as you need/want to get ready for test day.)

What's the scoring scale for both these exams?

The GMAT score range is 200-800 for the combined Quant + Verbal sections with a separate AWA score from 0-6. The Executive Assessment is officially scored from 100-200, though it's really 120-180. Here's a video with more details about EA scoring, including how to determine what constitutes a good EA score: kzread.info/dash/bejne/n6p50pWIo9DQYKg.html
