Executive Assessment Online

The Executive Assessment Online is open to all test takers. 

If test centers in your location are open and you feel safe accessing a test center facility, you are encouraged to do so. 
Please note that we are closely following local government directives to ensure the health and safety of our test takers and test center staff. All our test centers that are currently open have enhanced safety, social distancing, and hygiene practices in place. 

Registering for the Executive Assessment Online is just as easy as registering for an appointment in a test center.

1. Create an Account. Start by creating an Executive Assessment account and provide some necessary personal information
2. Select Programs. Once your account is created, select programs to send your assessment results or make your selections at a later point in time.
3. Select how you want to test- you can elect to test Online (at home) or in a Test Center.
4. Schedule your assessment. Schedule an appointment by selecting the date and time.
5. Pay for your assessment. Once you have scheduled your appointment, you then pay for your assessment.

The timing for the Executive Assessment Online is the same: 90 minutes total. We recommend setting aside 15 minutes for the check-in process.

The Executive Assessment Online exam is an online and remote proctored interim solution developed to support test takers and schools during the disruption to test center-based delivery due to COVID-19 related closures.

The Executive Assessment Online has the same structure as the Executive Assessment delivered in test centers. There are three sections: Integrated Reasoning, Verbal Reasoning, and Quantitative Reason. To enable comparability, the Executive Assessment will have the same type and number of items and section times as the assessment administered in test centers. It will also use the same scoring algorithm and score scale for the Section Scores and Total Score as the test center-based version. 

The Executive Assessment Online is available in most locations except for Mainland China, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, and South Sudan due to regulatory and local data privacy rules.

Please note that proctoring and support for the Executive Assessment Online is only offered in English. There will be no local language support available. 

Appointments are available around the clock and testing dates will be made available on a rolling basis.

While the Executive Assessment Online is open to all test takers, the online format is intended to help those who are working to meet upcoming program deadlines complete their applications.

You can schedule your second online attempt before or after you complete your first online attempt. The second attempt must be scheduled to start at least 24 hours after your first appointment is completed.

Scores will be sent to the programs you select within seven business days of completing your assessment or whenever you add additional programs to a past result.

The Executive Assessment Online can be taken up to two times.  These two attempts are independent of any attempts completed in a Test Center, as well as any additional attempts required as a result of a verified technical issue.

The assessment session is recorded, including check-in. Recording will continue until completion of the assessment.

Starting June 11, 2020, you will be allowed the option to use 1 erasable whiteboard that is no larger than 12 inches x 20 inches (30 cm x 50 cm), 1 dry erase marker, and 1 eraser during your exam session. 

The following items are not allowed:
• Paper 
• Pen / Pencil
• Permanent Marker
• Tissues, Paper Towels, Napkins
• Whiteboard cleaning spray
• Paper in a clear slide
• Boogie Boards
• Chalkboards
• Writing Tablets

During check-in, the proctor may scan your workstation and work area / environment. If your physical whiteboard is too large your proctor will ask you to remove it from the work area.

During your assessment, you will be asked to completely erase your whiteboard and show the front and back of your blank whiteboard to the camera at three points:
• Before the assessment begins
• Before the assessment ends

Follow the instructions on the screen to show your blank whiteboard to the camera. Note that there will be no acknowledgement from the proctor, but the showing of your blank whiteboard to the camera will be recorded on video and will be reviewed by test security administrators if needed. 

Failure to present your blank whiteboard to the camera before ending your assessment could result in your session being terminated and/or your results being cancelled.

Yes, the online whiteboard feature will still be available – you have the option and the flexibility to use either the online whiteboard, or a physical whiteboard, or both, while taking your assessment.  

You can purchase a physical erasable whiteboard that meets the required specifications , an erasable marker, and an eraser from any online or in-person retailers accessible to you. Please be mindful of shipping times during this situation. Remember that you can always reschedule your appointment at no cost.

Human proctors, supported by state-of-the-art technology, ensure the security and integrity of the exam, and fairness to all test takers.

All test takers will be authenticated via their digital photograph, an approved valid form of identification, and live check-in via a human proctor before starting the assessment. The workspace is also thoroughly reviewed and monitored before and during the assessment. The assessment is being monitored at all times, via the live video feed, by human proctors, supported by AI technology.

You can test at home or in your office. Wherever you test, you should be in a walled room, with a closed door, and without distractions. No one else is permitted in the room with you while you are testing. Please review the workspace requirements listed here.

If you have a question or an issue during the assessment, please click on the chat link within the OnVUE application or wave your hand to speak to the proctor.
