2020 Update

INSEAD Abu Dhabi EMBA program accepts the Executive Assessment (EA)! The EA is shorter than the GMAT, easier to prepare for, and more likely to get you admitted.

In addition, there is also more preparation material available for the EA than the INSEAD admissions test. We recommend that you take the EA to maximize the use of the test. If you take the INSEAD test, you can only use it for INSEAD!
