Executive Assessment Test Prep

Dive into Data Sufficiency, the "weird" math problem type invented for the EA and the GMAT. Learn how the scoring algorithm works and what implications that has as you study for and take the EA. Master the process for answering any Sentence Correction problem as efficiently as possible. Gain an undersanding of your resources and homework so that you can make the most of your study time.

Solidify your fundamentals. We'll cover foundational-level quant across multiple topic areas (including algebra, fractions and percentage, and story problems) to provide a solid basis for the rest of your studies. Learn our standard process for tackling any Critical Reasoning question, with a particular focus on Assumption Family questions, and how to address Integrated Reasoning (IR) Table problems, one of two interactive problem types on the IR section of the EA.

In the first half of a two-part lesson, we'll focus on Strategies (such as testing cases and choosing smart numbers) that you can apply across many of the quant problems on the EA. In Sentence Correction, dive deep into sentence structure, modifiers, parallelism, and comparisons. You'll also learn how to approach Integrated Reasoning Graph problems—both traditional graphs and unusual ones—and we'll spend some time discussing time management in preparation for taking your first practice test. If you're planning to take the official EA very soon after the course ends, we recommend using the first of your two 1:1 sessions with your instructor after taking this practice test.

In the second half of our quant lesson, we'll add even more Strategies (such as estimation and working backwards) to your arsenal. On the Integrated Reasoning front, you'll learn how to address the dreaded Multi-Source Reasoning problem type and we'll also do a deep dive into Reading Comprehension—how to get through the passage efficiently and how to handle both general and specific question types, including avoiding common traps.

More complicated quant Story Problems and Number Properties are the focus for today, along with test-like practice on Sentence Correction and Critical Reasoning. We'll focus not just on getting stuff right but also on making test-like decisions under time constraints. We also address the final of the four Integrated Reasoning problem types: Two-Parts (which can come in quant, verbal, or logic-based flavors).

All Review, All the Time. We'll do mixed quant and verbal review today—we reserve the right to toss anything at you. We'll also spend some time talking about next steps, when to take your second practice test, and when to schedule your included 1:1 sessions with your instructor in order to customize your post-course studies as you get ready to take the real EA!
