Why Accept the EA?

Highly Correlated with Classroom Performance

The Executive Assessment (EA) demonstrates a strong correlation with classroom performance, making it an invaluable tool for evaluating candidate readiness. Developed through a strategic partnership between GMAC and leading business schools worldwide, the EA was specifically designed to measure the skills most critical for classroom success.

Currently accepted at numerous business schools across the globe, the EA provides admissions committees with meaningful insights into candidates' academic capabilities. Its focus on relevant business skills ensures that admitted students possess the foundational knowledge necessary to thrive in rigorous executive programs. Additionally, schools report that EA scores serve as reliable predictors of classroom achievement, helping to create cohorts of well-prepared executives who can fully engage with and benefit from graduate business education.
