Bocconi Law Test study plan

Bocconi Law Test · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 7 hours per week

Week 1

Reading comprehension and textual analysis & Logical reasoning

  • Diagnose baseline by completing one timed 20-question reading-comprehension set and one timed 15-question logical-reasoning set, logging accuracy and time per question

  • Classify every reading error into one of four causes: main-idea misread, inference overreach, detail mislocation, or vocabulary misread

  • Annotate three short argumentative passages by underlining thesis, premises, and conclusion before answering

  • Drill main-idea and author-tone questions until you can state the thesis of a 400-word passage in one sentence within 60 seconds

Your checkpoint

A one-page error log listing all week-1 mistakes with cause labels and a corrected one-sentence thesis for each passage.

Week 2

Reading comprehension and textual analysis & Logical reasoning

  • Practise inference and assumption questions by writing down the unstated premise each correct answer depends on

  • Distinguish necessary from sufficient conditions in 15 conditional-reasoning items and diagram each with arrows

  • Work through weaken/strengthen questions by predicting the answer before reading the options

  • Reduce average reading time per passage by 15% while keeping accuracy above 70%

Your checkpoint

A set of 20 diagrammed conditional statements with a written note on why each invalid inference fails.

Week 3

Logical reasoning & History and philosophy

  • Solve sequencing and grouping logic games under a strict 6-minute cap per set

  • Build a timeline of key turning points from the Enlightenment through the 19th-century European constitutional movements, marking cause and effect

  • Summarise in writing the core argument of three canonical political thinkers on the social contract and the separation of powers

  • Identify and name five recurring logical fallacies in sample passages

Your checkpoint

A hand-drawn timeline plus a 300-word comparative note on two contract theorists' views of legitimate authority.

Week 4

History and philosophy & Legal and institutional culture

  • Map the structure of a civil-law constitutional system: sources of law, hierarchy of norms, and judicial review

  • Compare civil-law and common-law reasoning styles and explain precedent's role in each

  • Explain in writing how fundamental rights are protected and limited in a constitutional democracy

  • Connect two historical constitutional debates to present-day institutional arrangements

Your checkpoint

A one-page concept map of the hierarchy of legal sources with three worked examples of norm conflict and resolution.

Week 5

Legal and institutional culture & English language

  • Master core institutional vocabulary in English (legislature, judiciary, statutory interpretation, due process) and use each term in an original sentence

  • Read two English-language op-eds on legal or political topics and summarise each in 80 words

  • Complete a 30-question English grammar and usage set covering tense, agreement, and connectors, and correct every error

  • Explain in English, in under two minutes, the difference between a statute and a regulation

Your checkpoint

A 150-word English essay on a legal-institutional question, checked against a self-made grammar checklist.

Week 6

English language & Reading comprehension and textual analysis

  • Expand academic vocabulary by learning 40 high-frequency exam words with definitions and example sentences

  • Practise cloze and sentence-insertion items by identifying cohesive devices and discourse markers

  • Read one long English passage daily and write a three-sentence abstract

  • Cut average English-section completion time to within the exam pace while keeping accuracy above 75%

Your checkpoint

A 40-entry vocabulary log with original sentences and a timed English section score report.

Week 7

Reading comprehension and textual analysis & Logical reasoning & History and philosophy & Legal and institutional culture & English language

  • Take two full-length timed mock exams under exam conditions and record per-domain scores

  • Re-analyse every missed question and assign a cause label from the week-1 taxonomy

  • Revisit the two weakest domains and redo 20 targeted questions in each

  • Refine a personal time-allocation strategy per section

Your checkpoint

A mock-exam score tracker comparing both attempts by domain, with a written list of the three weakest sub-skills.

Week 8

Reading comprehension and textual analysis & Logical reasoning & History and philosophy & Legal and institutional culture & English language

  • Take one final full-length mock and aim to beat the week-7 score in at least three domains

  • Review condensed one-page summaries of history, philosophy, and institutional concepts

  • Rehearse the time-allocation strategy on two half-length sections

  • Consolidate the error log into a short pre-exam checklist of recurring traps

Your checkpoint

A final one-page pre-exam checklist of personal traps plus a comparison of all three mock scores.

Milestones

Week 4: Score at least 65% on a mixed set drawn from domains 1-4 and show a completed concept map of legal sources with worked examples.

Week 6: Score at least 75% on a timed English section and demonstrate a 40-entry vocabulary log with original sentences.

Week 8: Final mock score at or above the week-7 baseline in at least three of five domains, with a completed pre-exam checklist.
