ieGAT: Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is the ieGAT?

The IE Global Admissions Test (ieGAT) is IE University's official entrance exam. It measures logical, verbal, numerical, and abstract reasoning. STEM candidates may also face a short mathematics section. Unlike subject-based tests such as the GMAT, the ieGAT is designed to evaluate your decision-making and problem-solving under time pressure.

How long does the test last?

The exam typically runs 70–90 minutes depending on the version. With well over 100 questions in the online Aon format, that gives you less than 30 seconds per question. Practicing with timed simulations is essential to get comfortable with this pace.

Can I retake the ieGAT if I don't do well?

No. IE University allows only one attempt at the ieGAT. This is why many applicants choose to prepare in advance — you only get a single chance to perform at your best.

Do I need to complete my application before taking the test?

You can sit the ieGAT once 25% of your application is complete and your application fee is paid. This gives you flexibility to test early, but don't wait too long — results are sent directly to the admissions committee.

How are the results delivered?

Your scores are sent straight to the IE University Admissions Committee. You will not receive an official score breakdown yourself, which makes preparation even more important to approach the test confidently.

Are all questions weighted the same?

No. Each section contributes differently, reflecting the diverse skills the university values. Focus on accuracy across the board rather than trying to guess which sections "count more."

What if I can't finish all the questions?

That's expected — the test is designed to push your limits. Scoring balances correctness with speed. It's better to answer steadily and accurately than to panic and rush.

Do wrong answers reduce my score?

Yes. Both your accuracy and your response time affect your final score. Practicing under exam conditions helps you strike the right balance.

Is there a passing score or minimum number of correct answers?

No fixed cutoff exists. Admissions officers interpret your results in the context of your whole application. Still, stronger performance strengthens your chances — so every correct answer counts.

Are breaks allowed during the exam?

No scheduled breaks are provided. Once the timer starts, it runs continuously until the end of the test.

How should I prepare?

IE University says no specific preparation is required, but experience shows that familiarity with the format makes a huge difference. Practicing timed reasoning questions and reviewing worked solutions will boost both your speed and confidence.

I have special educational needs — what should I do?

Email IE Admissions with documentation. If you need adjustments, select the human-proctored option when registering. The admissions team will confirm the process.

I'm nervous about the test. Any tips?

Feeling nervous is normal — a little adrenaline can even sharpen focus. The best cure is familiarity: practice with real-style exercises so that nothing on test day surprises you.

What if I applied through the Common App?

Simply enter your email address and click "Forgot Password" on the ieGAT login page. You'll receive instructions to set up your access.

Paper & Pen Test: Verbal Reasoning

Text to read:

The fundamental qualities of all-electric vehicles benefit the community.

Electric propulsion does not produce toxic or unpleasant pollutants such as nitrogen oxides (NOx), particulates and unburned hydrocarbons at the vehicle level. This is a significant advantage in congested city centers.

The electric car does not emit CO₂ in use. These characteristics have led to the popularization of the all-electric vehicle as an "ecological", "carbon-free" or "zero emission" vehicle. It is a successful but surprising message. Unlike in the case of electric vehicles, it didn't occur to anyone to label electric heating with the virtuous image of "zero emission heating". It should be noted that the most widespread thermal electricity production in the world is based on coal, gas, lignite and petroleum products, and generates emissions of CO₂, nitrogen oxide and particulate matter. It is therefore irresponsible to systematically consider electric vehicles as an effective method of fighting global warming.

With all-electric vehicles, noise is reduced. At low speeds or during starts and accelerations, the engine of the electric vehicle emits less noise than a combustion engine, especially when the latter is diesel. Therefore, this progress is highly appreciated in cities. At higher speeds, this advantage is less significant because rolling and wind noise are predominant.

The electric vehicle does not use fuel, making it possible to reduce oil consumption (while increasing primary energy consumption). As with CO₂ emissions, this objective can also be partially achieved by reducing the specific use of combustion vehicles or by using agrofuels. For countries seeking oil independence, such as China, however, the electric vehicle may appear to be the priority.

1. According to the text, can the electric car really be considered an effective solution to global warming?

A B C D
True In part False This information is not specified in the text

2. According to the text, electric vehicles are more advantageous for short journeys such as those in urban areas.

A B C D
True In part False This information is not specified in the text

Paper & Pen Test: Diagrammatic and Abstract Reasoning

Diagrammatic reasoning questions measure your ability to deduce rules from a set of abstract information and apply them to a new set of information. This type of exercise can be used to assess your overall potential without accounting for prior knowledge, training, background or experience.

This exercise includes a diagram composed of different types of figures, called "basic figures" and "final figures" respectively. The basic figures are located in a square at the base of the arrows, while the final figures are at the end of the arrows and are also surrounded by a square. Between these two types of figures there are one or more function figures (round with a shape inside). The function figure determines which transformation is applied to one or more basic figures.

Your task is to compare the basic figure(s) and the final figure(s) and thus determine the effect of each function figure. Then, you must answer the questions after each basic screen.

Answers and Explanations

1. The correct answer is C — 17,700,000.

The title of the table shows that the number of readers for each newspaper is in millions. Then, looking at the figures for year X+1, we can see that 7.5 million readers read the Sun. We can also see that 10.2 million readers read the Times. By making a simple addition calculation (remember that calculators are allowed!), we arrive at a total of 17.7 million readers.

2. The correct answer is D — "Metro".

By adding the number of readers for each newspaper in years X and X+1, we find the following:
– The Times: 23.6 million readers
– The Daily Telegraph: 42 million readers
– Metro: 49.1 million readers
– The Sun: 22.8 million readers
– Guardian: 40.2 million readers

Therefore, the Metro is the newspaper with the most readers during these two years.

1. The correct answer is C — False.

As the text states in the second paragraph: "It is therefore irresponsible to systematically consider electric vehicles as an effective method to fight global warming."

2. The correct answer is A — True.

According to the third paragraph: "Therefore, this progress is highly appreciated in cities. At higher speeds, the advantage is less significant because rolling and wind noise are predominant."

Explanation of the diagram:

The small square is replaced by a large square cut in half, and the bottom half is colored black (final figure number 1).

ieGAT Réponse au test diagrammatique avec explication

The final figure number 2 refers to a smaller square, also with the colored bottom half.

ieGAT Réponse au test diagrammatique avec explication

PThe lower halves of both final figures have been colored black. However, base figure number 1 is the only one whose size has been changed. Since the common function figure is the hourglass, it can be deduced that the function of the hourglass is to color half the bottom side black. We can then conclude that the diamond changes the size.

1. The correct answer is D:

The basic figure is a white circle. The function figure is that of the hourglass, whose function is to color the bottom half of the figure black. The final figure is therefore D - a circle with a black lower half.

2. The correct answer is B:

The basic figure is a small white circle. The final figure is a large white circle. The function figure is therefore the diamond, whose function is to enlarge the figure.
