Luiss Master's Admission Test exam-day guide

Bring the same identity document you used at registration (passport is the safest choice for an international candidate). Check that it is unexpired and that the name matches your application exactly, including middle names and accents. If your ID is expired or the name differs, contact the admissions office before test day rather than assuming it will be accepted.

Re-read the confirmation email that states your date, time, location or online platform, and any candidate number. Save a screenshot offline in case of connectivity problems. Confirm with the provider whether you must print anything or whether a digital copy is accepted.

Luiss admission testing arrangements and the mix of sections have changed over time, so verify the current structure (for example aptitude/ reasoning, English, and mathematical or logical components) directly on the official Luiss admissions pages or in your confirmation email. Do not rely on forum posts describing older formats. Mark as needs_review until you have checked the official source.

Calculator policy varies by section and year. Confirm with the provider whether a basic non-programmable calculator is allowed, and whether phones may be used as calculators (usually not). If calculators are prohibited, practice the arithmetic by hand.

For an on-site test, bring a couple of pens and a pencil; for an online proctored test, confirm which materials are permitted before the session, since some proctoring systems allow only blank paper and a pen. Unapproved materials on the desk can be treated as a violation.

If your test is remote, test your camera, microphone, browser and internet on the same device you will use, a day in advance. Use a wired or stable connection and close all other applications. Confirm the provider's rules on room scans and permitted browser before the session. Mark as needs_review until the format is confirmed.

Remove notes, books, second screens and phones from the desk and the room. Tell household members not to enter during the test. A proctor may ask you to pan the camera around the room at the start.

Breaks are often not permitted once a timed section begins. Eat a normal meal, hydrate moderately, and use the restroom in the final minutes before the start time. Avoid heavy caffeine if you are already anxious.

For an on-site test, plan to arrive well before the reporting time, check the exact building and room, and add a buffer for public transport delays. Arriving late may mean you are refused entry; confirm the late-arrival rule with the provider.

Know in advance how many questions each section contains and how you will allocate minutes, which questions you will skip and return to, and your guessing policy (there is normally no penalty for wrong answers, but confirm the scoring rule for your sitting). Write this plan on one line and glance at it before starting.

Save the admissions office email and phone number in your phone so you can report a genuine emergency (illness, connection failure) immediately rather than after the deadline. Ask in advance what evidence they require for a rescheduled sitting.
