Section reminders

  • Quantitative Reasoning: no calculator. Read for exactly what is asked. On Data Sufficiency, judge whether the information is enough, do not solve for the answer.
  • Integrated Reasoning: on-screen calculator available. Read selectively - find the figure the question needs. Check whether Multi-Source questions need more than one source.
  • Verbal Reasoning: read for the main idea; name the conclusion and assumption in Critical Reasoning; find the single grammar issue a Sentence Correction item tests.

Test-day reminders

Confirm your schools accept it before booking · pace at roughly two minutes per question · let a hard question go to protect the section clock · don’t fade in the last section · bring valid ID.

FAQ

Can I use notes during the Executive Assessment?
No. The assessment is proctored at a test center or online. Use this sheet for final revision before test day only, not during the test.
