FAQs

Q: How hard is the Bocconi Test?

The answer to this question is “It depends”. If you haven’t worked with math in some time, you may find the quantitative questions (from areas like Numerical Reasoning and Mathematics) challenging. If reading in English isn’t your strong suit, you may find the Reading Comprehension area difficult. Remember that unfamiliar does not equal difficult. As you get to know the Bocconi Test content in your prep course, you’ll also learn strategies for conquering the test.

Q: How long to study for the Bocconi Test?

How long you’ll spend studying for the Bocconi Test depends on where you start, what your target score is, and what your schedule is. Many students will study as many as 100 total hours over 3 months. You’ll want to study until you are consistently scoring in your goal range on full-length practice tests. Make sure you allow enough time to learn new content and get plenty of realistic practice.

Q: How to study for the Bocconi Test?

How you study for the Bocconi Test depends on your goals, preferred study style, schedule, and more. The best way to study for the Bocconi Test is to find a method that works for you, make a plan, and stick with it. You may want to study in a traditional classroom, live online, on your own, or even with a tutor. Your Bocconi Test study plan should include reviewing basic content, as well as realistic practice with test-like question sets.

Q: Isn't IELTS primarily a test of British English?

No. IELTS features a variety of native English accents (British, American, Canadian, Australian, and New Zealand) in its Listening section. For the written responses, both British and American spelling variants are accepted as correct.

Q: Is IELTS a paper-based or a computer-based test?

The IELTS is administered as either a paper-based test (as its classic form) or as computer-delivered test (since recently). This difference concerns only the first three section of the test: Listening, Reading, and Writing. The Speaking section is always administered as an interview with a professional IELTS examiner. Both versions of the test take place in an official IELTS center and are scored identically. The only technical difference is the length of the test: the computer-delivered test is 10 minutes shorter, as there is for need for the answer transfer time in the Listening section. The choice of the test administration is up to the test taker and usually depends on the seat availability at the IELTS center in a particularly region. In terms of IELTS preparation, there is no difference between the paper-based and computer-delivered tests.

Q: What is the difference between IELTS Academic and IELTS General Training tests?

There exist two types of IELTS: IELTS Academic and IELTS General Training. The IELTS Academic is intended for those applying for higher education or professional registration in an English-speaking environment. It features mostly academic language and assesses whether you are ready to begin studying or training. This test is widely accepted by educational institutions around the world. The IELTS General Training is for those who are going to English speaking countries for secondary education, work experience, or training programs. It is also a requirement for migration to Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the UK. The test focuses on basic survival skills in broad social and workplace contexts. Both types of the test feature the same sections and are of the same length. However, the Listening and Speaking sections are identical for both Academic and General Training tests, whereas the Reading and Writing section differ. See our IELTS page for more information about this. If you are not sure which test type you should take, contact the educational institution or the organization that requires you to take IELTS for more details.
