What’s the Bocconi Test, how  to prepare for  it , if targeting the Bocconi MFin?Any resources or past papers available?

T Mehta · Accepted Answer

The Bocconi Test for MFin is Bocconi&rsquo;s own admissions exam, designed as an alternative to GMAT or GRE. It&rsquo;s shorter and focused mainly on logic, quantitative reasoning, and problem-solving. There isn&rsquo;t a finance-specific section, but the test does check numerical skills that are crucial for a quant-heavy program like MFin.
Preparation is best done with materials similar to GMAT quant or GRE reasoning practice. Many applicants use GMAT Official Guides for problem-solving, plus critical reasoning sets from LSAT for logic. Bocconi itself doesn&rsquo;t release official past papers, but the university&rsquo;s site provides sample questions and structure details.
A good strategy is timed practice, since the test is only 70 minutes and mistakes under time pressure are common. Focusing on high-level algebra, probability, and data interpretation makes preparation more targeted than just doing broad GMAT prep.

Most people expect the Bocconi Test to look like a finance exam, but it&rsquo;s actually closer to a logic and reasoning test. Think GMAT-style questions, but shorter and without essays.
&bull; The exam is 70 minutes with multiple-choice questions in math, logic, and data interpretation. &bull; It doesn&rsquo;t test finance knowledge directly, but quantitative comfort is key since MFin is highly technical. &bull; Resources students often use include GMAT Club&rsquo;s quant sets, LSAT-style critical reasoning, and GRE problem-solving practice. &bull; Bocconi publishes sample questions on its website, but no full past papers are officially available.
One useful angle: candidates who already have strong GMAT or GRE prep find the Bocconi Test easier, but for those focusing only on Bocconi, doing 4&ndash;6 weeks of daily quant practice plus timed logic sets is usually enough to score well.
