Luiss Master's Admission Test study plan

Luiss Master's Admission Test · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 6 hours per week

Week 1

Quantitative reasoning and mathematics & Logical reasoning

Diagnose baseline accuracy on 40 mixed quantitative items and 30 logical-deduction items, logging error type for each miss
Drill arithmetic, fractions, ratios and percentages until you solve 25 items in 30 minutes with at least 85% accuracy
Rewrite each missed quantitative item into a one-line rule you can recall without the solution

A baseline error log covering 70 items, tagged by error type and paired with 15 self-written rules

Week 2

Solve 30 algebra and word-problem items (linear equations, systems, rate/work) under timed conditions
Build a one-page formula sheet covering percent change, weighted averages, and rate conversions, then solve 10 items using only that sheet
Complete 25 syllogism and set-membership items, drawing Venn diagrams for every item you get wrong

Timed 30-item algebra set scored at 80% or better, plus a validated one-page formula sheet

Week 3

Master geometry essentials: area, perimeter, similar triangles, circle properties, applied to 25 figure-free word problems
Practice data-interpretation style reasoning on 20 self-contained table and percentage-change scenarios
Work 20 logic items on ordering, seating and scheduling constraints, writing the constraint list before solving

A 25-item geometry and data set completed at 80% accuracy with all constraint lists attached

Week 4

Read 8 short argumentative passages and identify main conclusion, premises and assumptions in each
Complete 30 verbal analogy and sentence-completion items, recording the definition of every unfamiliar word
Solve 20 assumption and strengthen/weaken items, justifying each answer choice in one sentence

A 30-word vocabulary log plus 20 written justifications for logical-reasoning answer choices

Week 5

Answer 40 reading-comprehension questions across 6 passages, capping each passage at 8 minutes
Practice inference and tone questions until you can eliminate three wrong choices with a stated reason
Complete 20 flaw and paradox logic items, naming the reasoning error in each

Six timed passages scored, with a written elimination rationale for every incorrect option

Week 6

Review core microeconomics concepts (supply and demand, elasticity, opportunity cost, market structures) and answer 40 recall items
Review macroeconomics basics (GDP, inflation, unemployment, monetary and fiscal policy) and answer 30 recall items
Summarize 10 current economic or institutional news stories in three sentences each, linking each to a syllabus concept

A 70-item economics quiz scored at 80% or better, plus 10 concept-linked news summaries

Week 7

Cover general-knowledge areas (international institutions, recent EU and Italian political economy, basic statistics) and answer 40 items
Run two full mixed mini-mocks of 40 questions across all four domains, timed to exam pace
Audit every mock error and assign it to a domain and a fixable cause

Two scored mini-mocks with a consolidated error audit listing the top five recurring weaknesses

Week 8

Take three full-length timed simulations under exam conditions and record section-level scores
Re-drill only the weakest 20% of error-log entries until accuracy exceeds 90% on those items
Rehearse pacing rules for each section and confirm a question-skipping strategy that protects time

Three full simulation score reports showing improvement, plus a one-page exam-day pacing plan

Week 2: Quantitative accuracy at or above 80% on timed sets, and a completed formula sheet you can use without reference material

Week 4: Logical-reasoning accuracy at or above 75%, with written justifications for assumption and strengthen/weaken items

Week 6: Economics recall quiz at or above 80%, and reading-comprehension passages completed within the 8-minute cap

Week 8: Full simulation scores stable or rising across all three attempts, with no domain below 65% and a finalized pacing plan
