The Executive Assessment (EA) is an alternative test to the GMAT. It is a 90-minute multi-stage computer adaptive test. The computer adaptive portion of the test is similar to the GMAT. The EA is a 90-minute test that consists of 3 sections: Integrated Reasoning, Verbal and Quantitative Reasoning.
Intended for senior professionals, most candidates should be able to achieve adequate performance on the test with 4-8 weeks of preparation while holding full-time jobs.
Pursuing an EMBA program requires you to pass either the GMAT or Executive Assessment (EA). In comparison, both the GMAT and EA are fundamentally similar. However, there is a difference in depth of preparation and time to complete. Hence, if you are a busy professional, you might want to take the EA instead.
The EA has a shorter completion time – 90-mins vs 3.5-hours. Additionally, EA scores are also highly correlated to performance in the EMBA. However, the EA is subjected to admission requirements of different schools.
You would have to submit your applications for the Executive Assessment at least 2 weeks before your targeted test date. Consequently, successful applicants will then be invited to sit the test on one of the three INSEAD campuses.

The Integrated Reasoning section measures your ability to evaluate information presented in multiple formats from multiple sources – skills you need to succeed in our technologically advanced, data-driven world.
The Quantitative section measures your ability to analyze data and draw conclusions using reasoning skills. The mathematics needed to understand and solve the questions in this section of the exam are no greater than what is generally taught in secondary school classes.
