The Evening MBA and Weekend MBA Programs at Chicago Booth are currently accepting scores from the virtual Executive Assessment, GMAT, GMAT Focus, and GRE exams. How do you know which test is right for you? What do you need to know about the virtual exams? Read on to learn more.
Booth accepts scores from the GMAT, GMAT Focus, and GRE exams. We do not have a preference on which exam you take. Your test scores are good for five years. While the GMAT and GMAT Focus exams are oriented towards business schools, the GRE is also typically accepted by other graduate programs (including business schools). The GRE runs longer than the GMAT (3h 45 m vs. 3h 7m) and is a little less expensive. The new GMAT Focus Edition runs for 2h 15m and the cost remains the same as the GMAT. While there are different nuances in each test, each exam includes verbal, quantitative, and integrated reasoning. Please take note that the GMAT Focus edition does not include an essay section, while the GMAT requires an analytical writing assessment.
The Executive Assessment (EA) is built for busy executives. The EA is similar in structure to the GMAT, and is created by the same company that makes the GMAT. It allows us to evaluate your business school readiness and helps you see which areas might need focus to sharpen your skills before your MBA program begins. This exam offers the convenience of less preparation time and lasts for 90 minutes. It has three sections (totaling 40 questions): Integrated Reasoning, Verbal Reasoning, and Quantitative Reasoning.
"Studying for the Executive Assessment test was a great primer for learning during the MBA Program...the payoff is that you will enter a community of diverse and dynamic individuals who value a rigorous education like the one at Chicago Booth."
