The admission test for Economics at Università Cattolica - TIEC
The test takes place online, lasts 60 minutes, it is in Italian and consists of 48 questions, divided into 4 areas: mathematics, logic, English and reading comprehension.
The test with a negative result can be repeated, if places are still available.
To be eligible for enrolment, you must obtain a minimum score of 60, which is calculated also taking into account your school curriculum and extracurricular certifications (language, computer science and work) and correctly answer at least 6 questions in the area of logic, English and reading comprehension and 4 questions in the area of mathematics.
Online exercise led by Researchers from the Department of Mathematical Sciences, Mathematical Finance and Econometrics.

A preparation book is available for practicing in the Mathematics area:
- Note di Matematica: Nozioni Preliminari - Educatt (2023) by Ballerio Augusto Carlo, Braggion Francesca, Dettoni Maurizio, Gazzaniga Agradi Piercarla, Mainini Alessandra, Messineo Grazia Caterina, Ubiali Gianandrea, Vassallo Salvatore Flavio (the book is also available in digital format, and can be purchased here)
In addition, the following is also available for practice:
- TEOREMA - the online maths pre-course. We recommend you focus mainly on the "TEOREMA" modules which will be tested. At the first access, explicit consent to the processing of personal data will be requested from all students, including those already registered. Consent, which is required only once, is mandatory to continue using the platform. To use Teorema, all you need is a valid e-mail address and registration at the https://elearning.teorema.cineca.it/login/index.php address: press Create an account, and enter the following code: 123Teorema. At the end of the registration procedure, a registration message will be sent containing instructions on how to access the Teorema pre-course.
