ieGAT FAQ: Do you have questions? We have the answers!

How long is the test?

The paper-and-pen version of the IE Global Admission Test (ieGAT) lasts 80 minutes (1 hour 20 minutes). However, you should allow an additional 30 minutes of preparation time before the test begins, during which a supervisor will explain the rules and provide examples to ensure that you understand how to complete the exercises.

The online version of the ieGAT, powered by Aon/Cut-e, takes approximately between 70 and 90 minutes to complete. It includes a series of timed modules covering various reasoning skills, and instructions are provided on-screen before each section.

How many times can I take the ieGAT?

The IE Global Admission Test can be taken only once and is available in English and Spanish. The language of the test must correspond to the language of the program application.

Where can I take the ieGAT?

The test is no longer held in physical locations. Instead, the ieGAT is administered online, making it accessible from anywhere in the world. A facilitator sets up a live online session, and all test takers are required to activate their computer's camera for remote supervision. This ensures a secure and standardized testing environment for all candidates, regardless of their location.

Is it possible to take the test before registering for IEU?

Yes. You can take the IE Global Admissions Test (ieGAT) before completing the full IE University application. However, you must have at least 25% of your application completed, including the payment of the application fee, in order to be eligible to sit the test.

Do I have to answer all the questions?

No, you are not required to answer all the questions.

In the Paper and Pen version (60 questions in 80 minutes), the test is intentionally designed to be too long to complete in the allotted time. Don't worry about finishing everything - accuracy matters more than speed.

In the Online version (Aon/cut-e), the system measures both speed and accuracy, and in most exercises, you must work quickly and precisely. The time limit is often short for each task, and completing all questions is expected.

Is there a minimum number of questions that must be answered in order to take the test?

No, the ieGAT is designed in such a way that each question and category analyses the candidate's different cognitive abilities while taking into account the various aspects of the program for which he/she wishes to be admitted. The level of questions increases as the test progresses.

Are all questions at the same level?

Can I ask questions during the test?

No, you will not be allowed to ask questions once the test has started. However, clear instructions and examples are provided at the beginning of each section to ensure you understand the task. An IE representative may be present to assist with technical issues, but no clarification about the content of the test will be given during the test.

Which IE University programs require you to take the ieGAT?

The ieGAT applies to most IE programs.

Can I pass the ieGAT if I have already passed the GMAT?

Yes, the Admissions Committee evaluates both the GMAT and the ieGAT score in cases where both are submitted as part of an application for registration. If you have already passed the GMAT, we strongly recommend that you submit your results when you register.
