The admissions tests for the IESE Executive MBA are designed to assess whether you would be able to gain the maximum benefit from the program. You can choose to take the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT), Executive Assessment (EA) or IESE Test.

IESE Admission Test

The IESE Test assesses your knowledge of basic math skills, verbal reasoning and analytical writing. The multiple-choice test is online, and it is conducted in Spanish and in English.

Both the mathematical and verbal elements of the test require prior preparation. IESE’s test doesn’t have its own specific preparatory material, but its content is very similar to that of the GMAT.

The fee for the IESE test is €145 (100R$ for EMBA São Paulo applicants). If you opt for this test instead of the GMAT, you must send your online application form at least one week before your test date.

The accepted result for the IESE Admission Test is >550.

Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT)

Your GMAT results should be sent directly to IESE by the Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC). You’ll be able to select the IESE Executive MBA as a recipient of your official GMAT score report before taking the exam. The code for the Executive MBA in Madrid is S21-G2-71, while the code for the Executive MBA in Barcelona is S21-G2-35.

The accepted result for the GMAT Classic is >500, and its equivalence for the GMAT Focus is >495.
