About the Executive Assessment

The assessment is used to fulfill business school application requirements and it measures business school readiness.

Many graduate business programs accept the assessment as part of the application process. It will help you identify what skills you most need to strengthen to be confident in your readiness for business school.

Schools use the results as a factor in determining your readiness for their program. Schools may also offer suggestions for closing gaps prior to beginning the program.

Most schools will use the assessment to evaluate readiness. Schools may also use it to determine next steps in helping a candidate succeed in the program.

It's been created specifically to measure the skills and knowledge of experienced professionals, it's designed to require minimal preparation and is significantly shorter in length at 90 minutes. Also, instead of being reported separately, your Integrated Reasoning score on the Executive Assessment is included as part of your Total score.

The assessment is delivered year-round in more than 600 test centers around the world.

The cost to take the assessment is US$350 globally.

Credit or debit cards are accepted (American Express, JCB, MasterCard, or Visa).

The Executive Assessment is comprised of three sections, Integrated Reasoning, Verbal Reasoning, and Quantitative Reasoning, which are further broken down into six modules. The modules are as follows: 1) Integrated Reasoning 1 - 6 questions, 2) Integrated Reasoning 2 - 6 questions, 3) Verbal Reasoning 1 - 7 questions, 4) Verbal Reasoning 2 - 7 questions, 5) Quantitative Reasoning 1 - 7 questions, and 6) Quantitative Reasoning 2 - 7 questions.

At the end of each of the six modules you will be presented with a review screen that will provide an opportunity for you to review and change your responses or return to any questions you may have skipped. Note that you can only review and change responses within a given module. Once you have moved onto the next module, the question responses on the previous module can't be changed.

Exhaustive preparation is not required, but we do suggest you familiarize yourself with the assessment structure and question types you’ll see on the actual assessment. See Executive Assessment Official Prep.
