Bocconi Online Test is said to be similar to SAT with four different sections consisting of 50 multiple choice questions altogether for which the student is given 75 minutes.
Students should keep in mind that this test carries negative marking, meaning if you answer a question wrong you will receive minus marks.
Keep in mind that: “Applicants who receive a total score (penalties included) lower than 17 will not be considered in the selection process.”
The test is made of 50 multiple-choice questions that are divided into four sections: Mathematics, Reading Comprehension, Numerical Reasoning and Critical Thinking.
Mathematics includes:
Algebra
Functions
Plane Geometry
Analytical Geometry
Trigonometry
Sets
Logarithms and Exponentials
Discrete Mathematics
Numbers
Probability
Problem Solving
Statistics
Reading Comprehension: tests students ability to read and analyse texts by asking several questions regarding the context of the text.
Numerical Reasoning: includes tasks like reading a chart or a table
Critical Thinking: is the ability to actively and skillfully conceptualise, apply, analyse, summarise and/or assess information.
The university does not provide any official Bocconi test preparation textbooks. Many students have referred back to their mathematics textbooks and sample SAT tests to help them prepare for the test.
It is highly recommended that students try Bocconi Online Test Simulation before taking the real test. Once you have taken the Test Simulation, you will be able to see a revision of your performance.
Some programs may have additional requirements! For example “students who have the Bachelor in Mathematical and Computing Sciences for Artificial Intelligence among their choices, will need to obtain at least 11 points out of 28 in the “Mathematics” area to be considered for that program.”
The last day to take Bocconi Online Test for the Winter Session is around 23rd of January (bookings close 2 days before)! Check the website for the correct deadline!
