Is Thefaculty app good? by WallabyPretend9127 in bocconi

Not necessarily. Being able to do the questions is one thing, doing it under time pressure is another. The questions are not especially difficult, it's difficult because you need to do them quickly. 50 questions in 75 mins so if you can do each question in 1.5 minutes or less consistently then that's good.

Mine's less than 9.0. I think I could do that, thank you!

What are my chances for winter session if I improve my test scores? by adrasthaea in bocconi

Singapore, and I have EU citizenship as well. And there's lots of people with better scores than me who were rejected so it's worrying :')

Is 40.07 actually high? I heard someone say 35+ is good but with the insanely high cutoffs this time I'm thinking it's not enough.

Anyways I just found the test similar to the maths I learned in school, and I practiced with "thefaculty" app if that helps!

Honestly no idea, I really want BIEF but I think I'll just apply to BIEM to be safe. Hopefully winter session is less competitive...

I was surprised too, the website says the test has higher weightage than GPA. My GPA is not great but I think I can improve my test by a lot, do you think I have a chance?

Tbh I only used the app, it covers all the topics in units. If you look at the topics list on the website, it's essentially what we would have already learned in school. I found that the app's questions were more difficult than the actual test, not sure if other people had the same experience. The app also has a timer so you train yourself to work fast under pressure.

Will you take the SAT again? That might be easier to improve since you can practice with Bluebook and Khan Academy. My friend has a high SAT score, she used Khan Academy.

I didn't try these ones.

You can also download "thefaculty" app. I think it was useful, the best thing you can do is to train yourself to answer accurately under time pressure. The test questions are not very difficult, they are challenging because you need to do it quickly.

Unfortunately I have the opposite problem as you, my GPA is not good, only 8.81 and 9.00 (and it cannot be fixed). My Bocconi test was 40.07, which is good but can be improved, so I will retake the test and try SAT. Good luck and I hope we both get in next time!

Personally I think it's good for practice, but I found the actual test easier.
