Choose Bocconi preparation materials by how well they match the current test and help you understand mistakes. A large library is less useful than a small set of resources you actually review. This guide was revised in September 2026.
Start with official resources
Use the preparation tools linked from the official Bocconi test page. Check our updated format guide before deciding which skills to practise.
Match each resource to a purpose
- Concept review: choose explanations that help you understand a topic you missed.
- Targeted practice: work on a specific skill and review the solution, not just the answer.
- Timed practice: use material whose format and navigation match the current test.
- Error review: keep your own notes showing the mistake, its cause and what you will try next.
Evaluate a question bank before paying
Look for a sample you can inspect. Check whether explanations are clear, the stated format is current and the difficulty is appropriate for your needs. Find out what is included, how long access lasts and whether the resource is intended for the test version you plan to take.
A commercial product labelled “Bocconi” is not necessarily official. Likewise, a generic reasoning exercise can be useful practice without reproducing the real test. Keep those uses separate.
Build a manageable study kit
Start with the official instructions, a practice source and an error log. Add another resource only when you can explain the gap it will fill. Repeating an exercise without reviewing why you missed it is unlikely to make the extra purchase useful.
If you are considering tutoring, ask how your starting level will be assessed, how sessions will address your mistakes and what independent practice is expected. Compare the support with the time and budget available to you.
Protect the quality of your practice
Avoid recalled live-test questions and materials whose origin is unclear. Read the university’s conduct rules. Use a consistent review routine and track your progress under comparable conditions rather than collecting scores from unrelated question sets.
