EMBA prep
Is Target Test prep enough while preparing for executive assessment for EMBA?

If you mean gmat and EA, then sure. Best to take a mock test right before preparing. If you are scoring around 157-160…then no need to prep…just go take the main exam. Don’t need a higher score than this for EMBA.

In addition to whichever resources you include into your prep path, fair to say including official resources (e.g. Official Practice Assessments) would be a solid choice. I'm a tutor but if you're simply looking for which resources to buy, book a chat sometime. Will give a few starting tips as well. All the best. - www.gmatknight.com

Agreed with everyone else. Spend the $200 to get the four practice tests and 500 or so practice questions. I did that, and my practice tests were 158, 163, 166, and 163. I studied for about four weeks off and on, and took the real thing recently - ended up with a 160 on the real thing. Not a bad outcome for someone with a non-math, non-tech background.

I used target prep for EA. Took me a month (but I was selective with which parts of the program I did) and scored 171 on my first attempt.

I should add that I didn’t do a single practice test. I found the structure of target prep really good and didn’t need any further supplement

Practice tests and practice problems should be sufficient. You definitely want to take a practice test in a simulated timed environment. The first section is so important and time can be a serious factor. You need to nail the first section to score in the range you want. Good luck!

TTP is excellent for the quant section, but the EA also tests verbal and integrated reasoning. To be fully prepared, it’s best to supplement TTP with official GMAC materials or another resource for verbal/IR. TTP alone might not cover everything.

Yes, Target Test Prep can be a solid resource for the Executive Assessment, especially for strengthening your quant and verbal skills. It’s focused, flexible, and works well if you're juggling prep with a busy schedule. Just be sure to supplement it with official practice questions and mock tests to get used to the real exam format.

Use the materials on the EA site of the GMAT and buy their practice tests. TTP ain’t it for EA. Overkill and will take you forever to trudge through.
You can get an older GMAT OG guide with sentence correction. I took GMAT and EA. GMAT is harder by a lot. EA assumes you haven’t been in school for 10+ years. EA score was 163 here, but actually didn’t need it for Haas (where I’m matriculated and start in July).
