GMAC has heard from many students and has come up with a new product called GMAC Executive Assessment. GMAC Executive Assessment is designed for Executive MBA programs. The test has new ways to evaluate candidates for admission.

1. Computer Adaptive Test: Many GMAT applicants think and over think during the test about the question’s difficulty level as the applicants are aware that each question they answer correct, the next will be difficult leading the applicant to score high. But an easy question on the test demotivates the test taker. GMAC® Executive Assessment however takes this mental stress away. The GMAC Executive Assessment is adaptive in nature but not adaptive per question.gmac test

Surprised? Let’s detail the test’s nature for you- GMAC® Executive Assessment gives you a pool of questions to answer and based on your performance in pool one, you will get another pool of questions. This means that the sections are adaptive instead of each question being adaptive.
2. Score: GMAT scores you out of 0 – 60 and finally gives you a score out of 800. GMAC® Executive Assessment scores you out of 0-20 and finally gives you a score out of 200.
3. Length of test: GMAT test takers have been complaining since years about the long duration of the test that is at times torturous to test taker. GMAC® Executive Assessment has taken care of this problem. GMAC® Executive Assessment is shorter than GMAT, valuing the time spend not only for preparation but also on final test day.
