EMBA candidates can now take the Executive Assessment Online
Following the launch of the GMAT Online Exam, the Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC) have today released the Executive Assessment Online, dubbed the GMAT for Executive MBA candidates.
At 90 minutes in duration, the EA is considerably shorter than the traditional GMAT. It covers verbal, integrated reasoning, and quantitative questions, and does not include the Analytical Writing Assessment (AWA).
If you are applying to an EMBA program in 2020, and do not want to defer your application, taking the new EA Online could be the solution.
MBAs to provide help for small businesses
Many small businesses are suffering from the economic impact of coronavirus, so now MBA students are looking to help.
On May 14th, the Small Business School Challenge will see teams of US-based MBA students provide hands-on consulting for small businesses around the theme of ‘emerging from the crisis with confidence’, potentially also winning cash prizes for their small business clients.
The 48-hour national virtual hackathon has been organized by MBA students at schools like UVA Darden and Berkeley Haas and is free for small businesses to sign up to. Berkeley Haas MBA David Corfield (pictured) is one of the organizers.
David is also one of the co-founders of LifeWork, the company staging the hackathon and which supports small businesses. LifeWork is developing a payment platform to help remote freelancers get paid faster.
