Bocconi Test: how is the test structured and run?

There are no official preparation manuals for the Bocconi Test. To practice for the test, we suggest you read the information available on the domains carefully and refer to the sample tests you’ll find in the download area.

As the reading comprehension questions cover a multitude of topics, it would be pointless to attempt to list them all.Instead, we’ll concentrate on the vocabulary used in the logic, mathematics and numerical reasoning sections.
