What to Do Right After a Bocconi Test Practice Exam
What to Do Right After a Bocconi Test Practice Exam

A post practice test, for Bocconi Test prep, means everything you do after finishing a full 50-question, 75-minute simulation: reviewing your score report, breaking down every error, and building a study plan around what actually went wrong. The one action to take right now, before reading further, is this:
- Pull up your official score report and build a ranked error list by section (Math, Critical Thinking, Numerical Reasoning, Reading).
That single step turns a raw number into a plan. Everything below explains why, using the Bocconi Test’s own structure, the official Instructions and Rules of Conduct, and the €60 fee structure that governs how often you can retest.
Key Takeaways
Improving your Bocconi Test score depends on treating every practice test as diagnostic data, not just a number, and acting on it within days.
| Point | Details |
|---|---|
| Match the real format | Practice with 50 questions in 75 minutes, weighted — Math, — Reading, — Critical Thinking, — Numerical Reasoning. |
| Check technical setup first | Confirm admin rights, Safe Exam Browser, and ProctorExam compatibility before booking a paid attempt. |
| Build a ranked error list | Label each miss as conceptual, careless, time pressure, or misread before starting your next study cycle. |
| Respect the retake rules | Attempts cost €60, cap at four per year, and can’t be booked same-day or on consecutive days. |
| Use Prepadmit for tracked practice | Run official-style timed mocks, get section-specific error reports, and follow adaptive drills backed by a 34% average score improvement claim. |

What the Bocconi Test Looks Like at a Glance
Your practice test only tells you something useful if it copies the real exam’s shape. The official Online Bocconi Test runs 50 multiple-choice questions in 75 minutes, split across four sections with very different weights.
75 minutes, 50 questions, four sections. Miss that ratio in your mock and your time-management data becomes meaningless. A test that gives Reading and Math equal weight will teach you to pace wrong on exam day. Math alone accounts for nearly half the exam, so a diagnostic that under-samples it will hide your biggest risk area.

What to Check Before You Book a Practice Attempt
Booking works through Bocconi’s own webtesting platform: create an account, purchase an attempt, choose your language (Italian or English), and pick a date. Once booked, you can start the test any time between 00:00 and 23:59 CET/CEST on that day, according to the platform’s Instructions and Rules of Conduct.
A few rules directly shape your prep strategy:
- Each attempt requires a fee, and you can take up to four attempts per test type per academic year.
- You cannot sit two attempts on the same day or on consecutive days, per the official rules for Academic Year 2027/28.
- Rescheduling and withdrawal are only possible inside specific windows, and technical support runs on published hours, not around the clock.
Pro Tip: Book your first official attempt during published support hours, not a midnight slot. If Safe Exam Browser glitches at 2 a.m., there’s nobody to call, and you’ve burned €60 with no report to show for it.
Technical Requirements and Room Setup You Can’t Skip
Most invalidated attempts to have nothing to do with test content. They come from a setup problem that could have been caught the night before. The Bocconi technical rules require a desktop or laptop where you have administrator rights, plus a second device (smartphone or tablet) for side recording, a working webcam and microphone, and a stable Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection. Mobile hotspots are not allowed.

On the software side, you’ll need Google Chrome as your default browser, Safe Exam Browser downloaded directly from the webtesting platform, the Chrome screen-sharing extension, and the ProctorExam app on your second device. Never source these from anywhere else.
Before test day, clear your desk, set a neutral background, position both cameras to show your workspace clearly, and run the full system check for microphone, webcam, and screen sharing.
Administrator rights are non-negotiable. Without them, you cannot install Safe Exam Browser or the screen-sharing extension, and an incompatible phone model or outdated app version can trigger invalidation even if you finish the entire test.
An invalidated attempt still counts against your yearly limit. Test your full setup at least once, days before you actually book.
How to Run a Practice Test That Actually Predicts Your Score
A mock only earns your trust if it copies the real navigation. On the official platform, questions appear three to a screen, and the “Next” button locks you out of going back. If your practice tool lets you freely jump between questions, your skipping strategy and your timing data will both be unreliable on exam day.
Pace yourself to match the section weighting, not an even split:
That’s roughly 1.5 minutes per question, adjusted for section difficulty, inside the 75-minute cap. Numerical Reasoning questions test how well you spot the relevant number in a pile of data, not raw calculation speed, so budget less time per item than Math.
Pro Tip: Run your mock on the same devices, in the same room, at the same time of day you’ll test for real. Environmental consistency is part of what makes a simulation predictive instead of just practice.
How to Turn Your Score Report Into a Study Plan
Your Test Score Report becomes available within 48 hours and shows your total score, per-area scores, and counts of correct, incorrect, and blank answers, along with a reference number for that attempt.
Work through it in order:
- Recreate every missed question from memory or notes.
- Label each error: conceptual gap, careless mistake, time pressure, or misread question.
- Log how long you spent on each one during review, not just during the test.
- Rank errors by section, then by frequency within that section.
- Build drills around your two weakest error types first.
A four-week corrective cycle works well for most students following a structured Bocconi study timeline:
- Week 1: Rebuild weak Math fundamentals identified in your error log.
- Week 2: Timed Critical Thinking and Reading drills, 20 minutes daily.
- Week 3: Numerical Reasoning data-interpretation sets, plus a mixed-section quiz.
- Week 4: A full 75-minute mock under proctoring conditions, then repeat the error analysis.
On retakes, aim for a measurable gain, not perfection. And remember: you cannot purchase a same-day or next-day attempt, so plan your retake purchase around that cooldown, not around how motivated you feel that afternoon.
Pro Tip: In your final six to eight weeks, run a full timed mock every week. Prioritize Math subtopics that show up most often in your error log, since Math alone carries nearly half the exam’s weight.
Where to Find Reliable Practice Materials After Your First Mock
Start with the official Bocconi simulation as your baseline diagnostic, then cross-check platform rules against the official Instructions and Rules of Conduct so you know exactly what a compliant mock should feel like.
Beyond the official simulation, look for a platform that gives you:
- Full 50-question, 75-minute timed simulations with proctoring-style settings.
- Sectional drills targeting Math, Reading, Numerical Reasoning, and Critical Thinking separately.
- Detailed answer corrections that explain the reasoning, not just the right choice.
- Progress tracking across multiple attempts so you can see trends, not just single scores.
Prepadmit was built specifically around these gaps. It offers official-style past papers and on-demand mocks, skill-specific drill modes for your weakest section, and a peer leaderboard so you can see where your score actually stands. The platform was developed by a team with backgrounds from HEC and Bocconi, and it reports an average score improvement of 34% for students who use it, backed by a money-back guarantee.
A note on realistic simulation
Strict fidelity to the real test format is what separates a useful mock from a false sense of security. Students who take their first official attempt without ever practicing under real timing constraints tend to feel real anxiety in that room. The ones who ran weekly timed mocks in the weeks before generally walk in calmer, because the format stopped being a surprise weeks earlier.
Keep Practicing With Prepadmit After Every Mock
Once you’ve logged your errors, the next mock should be sharper, not just another attempt at the same weak spots. Prepadmit lets you re-run full-length simulations under the same 50-question, 75-minute format, then hands you a detailed error report broken down by section so you can see exactly where points slipped away.

From there, the platform suggests targeted drills based on your specific error pattern, whether that’s Math fundamentals or Numerical Reasoning data traps, and tracks your score across every attempt so you can watch real progress instead of guessing. The content comes from a team with HEC and Bocconi backgrounds, the platform reports an average 34% score improvement among users, and every plan comes with a money-back guarantee. If your last practice test left you with a list of weak points and no clear next step, start a timed mock on Prepadmit and turn that list into a plan today.
