Crash Course + All-Subject Prep
- 2-day live crash course (recorded)
- All four areas + full-length mocks
- Negative-marking strategy built in
What's included
More information
Everything in All-Subject Prep plus a 2-day live crash course. The course works through each test area — Mathematics, Reading Comprehension, Critical Thinking and Numerical Reasoning — with worked examples, pacing drills and the negative-marking strategy that separates strong scores from average ones. All sessions are recorded so you can revisit them before your round.
An intensive 2-day live course covering the whole Bocconi Online Test, with the strategy that matters most under negative marking and a 75-minute clock.
Dates: Two weekend cohorts this cycle:
- 12–13 September 2026 (before the Early round) — registration closed
- 9–10 January 2027 (before the Winter round) — open for booking
Timing: 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM CET both days, with a lunch break.
Course breakdown:
- Mathematics deep-dive: the highest-volume section, worked end to end across algebra, functions, geometry, trigonometry, probability and statistics.
- Reading Comprehension: how to read for evidence — explicit information and implicit meaning, fast.
- Critical Thinking: true / false / cannot-be-deduced judgement, including the heavier -0.33 penalty on 3-option items and when to skip.
- Numerical Reasoning: reading charts and tables fast and correctly.
- Test strategy: pacing across 50 questions in 75 minutes, and the expected-value logic of when to answer vs skip.
- Interactive Q&A: dedicated time each day; submit your specific sticking points the week before and we'll work them in.
All sessions are recorded and the slides shared afterwards.
The largest section — and Bocconi's Artificial Intelligence degree (the Bachelor in Mathematical and Computing Sciences for AI, 'BAI') requires at least 11/24 in Maths. Full official scope — algebra, functions, geometry and analytical geometry, trigonometry, sets, logs/exponentials, discrete maths, numbers/percentages, probability (incl. Bayes) and statistics — auto-graded with worked solutions.
Passages with explicit and implicit meaning to extract, often on economic themes with data to interpret. Evidence-only reading, with worked explanations.
True / false / cannot-be-deduced judgement from the text alone. The 3-option items carry the heavier -0.33 penalty — knowing when to skip is part of the training.
Fast, correct reading of charts and tables — separating relevant from superfluous data. The calculations stay simple; the reading is the skill.
Full-length 50-question / 75-minute mocks with mixed topic and difficulty order, scored with the real scheme (+1 / 0 / -0.2, -0.33 on 3-option Critical Thinking). Step-by-step worked solutions for every question.

- Apply within Bocconi's official 2026/27 deadlines
- Free re-enrolment reserved for the next cycle if you're not admitted
The test is the biggest lever you control
Bocconi weighs your application 55% test score, 45% GPA (third- and second-last year) — and a focused crash course plus realistic practice is the fastest way to move the part you control.
- 55%
- of the admission decision is your test score — GPA is the other 45%
- 2 days
- of live teaching across all four areas + strategy
- 1,500+
- practice questions included — the entire All-Subject bank

Two intensive days across the whole test
The course walks through every area with worked examples and the negative-marking strategy that protects your score, then drills pacing for the 75-minute clock. Submit your sticking points the week before and we work them in.
- Mathematics worked end to end
- Section-by-section strategy: Reading, Critical Thinking, Numerical
- Recordings & slides kept available afterwards
The section that moves your score most
Nearly half the test. Full official scope, auto-graded with worked solutions — including the 11/24 Maths minimum for the Artificial Intelligence degree (BAI) if it's on your list.
- Probability incl. conditional probability & Bayes
- Functions, logs, exponentials and their graphs
- Discrete maths and statistics
Read for what the text actually says
Explicit and implicit meaning in passages — often economic, often with data to interpret. Evidence-only reading, trained deliberately.
- Explicit & implicit meaning in passages
- Economic themes, numbers and percentages
- Worked explanations for every item
True, false, or cannot be deduced
Judge statements strictly on what the text supports. The 3-option items carry the -0.33 penalty — skip discipline is part of the skill.
- True / false / cannot-be-deduced judgement
- The -0.33 penalty and when to skip
- Worked reasoning for every item
Read the data, not the formula
Charts and tables, relevant vs superfluous information, simple calculations done fast — quick wins once the pattern is practised.
- Charts, tables and data interpretation
- Relevant vs superfluous information
- Fast, simple calculation under time
The whole test, exactly as it feels
50 questions in 75 minutes, mixed topic and difficulty, real negative marking — so test day holds no surprises.
- Mixed-topic, mixed-difficulty order
- Real +1 / 0 / -0.2 (-0.33 on 3-option CT) scoring
- Timed simulation that builds pacing
