ExploreAbout this exam
The Luiss Master's Admission Test is the entry assessment used by Luiss Guido Carli University in Rome for admission to its graduate degree programmes (Laurea Magistrale). The university describes its Graduate School as the home of its Corsi di Laurea Magistrale and presents itself as a social-science institution with a strong international profile; its own homepage reports top placements in the Financial Times Master in Management and Masters in Finance rankings, a 95% employment rate one year after graduation, and more than 160 top employers at its annual Career Day. The test is aimed at graduates and final-year undergraduates preparing to enter a master's programme, including candidates with degrees from other universities and other countries. The published admission-test pages could not be retrieved at the time of writing, so the current number of questions, time limit, scoring rules, fees, retake policy and validity period are not stated here and should be confirmed directly with the university before you plan your sitting. Preparation should combine timed practice in verbal reasoning and reading comprehension, quantitative reasoning, logical reasoning, and economics with general knowledge, plus careful reading of the official admission call for your chosen programme.
What you'll study
About Luiss Master's Admission Test preparation
What does the Luiss Master's Admission Test cover?
The four areas this preparation material is organised around are verbal reasoning and reading comprehension, quantitative reasoning and mathematics, logical reasoning, and economics with general knowledge. Treat this as a study framework rather than an official syllabus: confirm the actual subject list for your programme in the university's admission call, since programme-specific requirements can differ.
How many questions are on the test and how long does it last?
We could not verify this. The official admission-test page returned a 404 error when checked, so no question count or time limit is published on this page. Do not rely on numbers from older forum posts or past cycles. Check the current admission call or contact the admissions office before booking travel or planning a timed strategy.
What score do I need to pass, and how is the test scored?
Not confirmed. Because no official page was retrievable, this page states no passing threshold, no penalty rule for wrong answers, and no weighting between sections. Scoring rules sometimes change between cycles, so verify them in the current call for the specific master's programme you are applying to.
Can I retake the test if I do badly?
The retake policy is not confirmed here. Some programmes allow a limited number of attempts per cycle, others only one. Before you sit, ask the admissions office in writing how many attempts are permitted, whether the best or most recent score counts, and whether a fee applies to each attempt.
How long is my score valid?
This is not stated in the available source material. Score validity can be tied to the admission cycle rather than to a fixed number of years, so a score used for one intake may not carry over to the next. Confirm validity with the admissions office when you receive your result.
How hard is the test, and where do candidates usually struggle?
Difficulty is not officially published. In practice, the most common problems are running out of time in quantitative sections, misreading inference questions in verbal reasoning, and attempting economics questions without refreshing basic macro and micro concepts. Practise under strict timing and review every wrong answer to find the pattern behind the error.
In what order should I prepare?
Start with a full timed diagnostic to find your weakest area, then work section by section, keeping a short daily block of quantitative drills because speed there is built through repetition. Add current-affairs reading for the general knowledge component and finish with two or three full simulations under exam conditions in the weeks before your date.

No. This is independent study material and is not produced, endorsed or reviewed by Luiss Guido Carli University. Always treat the university's own admissions pages and official call as the authoritative source for dates, fees, format and requirements, and use this material only as practice support.
