Bocconi Graduate Test study guide
Bocconi Graduate Test · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.
The Bocconi Graduate Test (BGT) is an admissions assessment used by Università Bocconi, a private university in Milan, in the selection process for its Master of Science programs. It is aimed at graduates and final-year undergraduates - in Italy and abroad - who are applying to an MSc program and who need to demonstrate that their quantitative, logical, verbal and data-handling skills are strong enough for a demanding, quantitative Master's curriculum in economics, management, finance or related fields. Candidates typically sit the test as one component of a file that also includes academic transcripts, a CV, motivation and language evidence, so the score is read alongside the rest of the application rather than in isolation. The exam is structured around four areas of equal weight: quantitative reasoning and mathematics; logical reasoning; verbal reasoning and reading comprehension; and numerical reasoning with data interpretation. Topics on this exam: Quantitative reasoning / Mathematics, Logical reasoning, Verbal reasoning / Reading comprehension, and Numerical reasoning / Data interpretation. The Bocconi Graduate Test study guide has 4 sections and about 1,082 words.
01Quantitative Reasoning / Mathematics
Quantitative reasoning on the Bocconi Graduate Test checks arithmetic fluency, algebraic translation, geometry, and multi-step word problems. Questions reward a clean setup and controlled estimation more than long computation.
259 words, about 1 min02Logical Reasoning
Logical reasoning tests deductive validity, conditional statements, quantifiers, assumptions, and argument evaluation. Most stimuli are short, so precision matters more than speed.
294 words, about 1 min03Verbal Reasoning / Reading Comprehension
Verbal reasoning and reading comprehension test main idea, explicit detail, inference, tone, and logical structure. Passages are short but dense; the exam favors precise paraphrase over outside knowledge.
277 words, about 1 min04Numerical Reasoning / Data Interpretation
Numerical reasoning and data interpretation test table and chart reading, percentages, ratios, averages, growth, and estimation. You must select the right operation and respect units and bases.
