As you gear up for the WU BBE Entrance Exam happening online via WISEflow on June 18, 2024, it's super important to get your game plan right. Here's a guide on what to focus on and how to get yourself ready for this big day.

Getting Used to WISEflow

First things first, you've gotta get comfortable with the WISEflow platform. That's where the mock exams come in handy. They're like your practice runs. The first mock exam between June 10 and June 11 is your chance to poke around WISEflow and see how it feels. Then, the second mock exam on June 12 is a full-on rehearsal of the real deal, complete with the types of questions you'll face. Skipping these could leave you in a tight spot if tech issues pop up during the actual exam.

The Rules of the Game

Know the rules like the back of your hand. The exam kicks off in two batches at 10:00 a.m. and 10:02 a.m. (CEST). You'll get an email letting you know when you're up. Also, here is a heads up: no calculators, cheat sheets, or any other help. WISEflow has got all you need built-in. Stick to the rules to avoid any drama.

Hitting the Books

The most important principle: Practice as much as you can. It's crucial that you get a feel for the exam and what they will ask you. You can find a plethora of practice tasks in the BBE Insider Exam Preparation Course for effective and fast learning.

This exam's going to test you on three big areas: your English knowledge, your understanding of basic economics and business, and your math skills. For English, you want to be on your A-game with grammar and vocabulary. Reading reputable English news and business sites is a good move to get there.

For the economics and business bit, dive into the first six chapters of "Introduction to Business and Economics" by Fuhrmann. It's essential to wrap your head around these concepts. Be aware that every detail could make a difference! (More on this in the BBE Insider Exam Prep Course)

Math is going to cover everything from logic and algebra to probability. As you will have the exam on WISEflow, the math part will be very different from what you have experienced so far. You will need to know the most common pitfalls and the exact exam format to prepare adequately.

Final thoughts

At the end of the day, this exam is a big step toward starting your journey in the BBE program. Take the mock exams seriously to avoid any last-minute surprises, stick to the rules, and make sure you've covered all the material.

And if you want to make sure that you get in without any hiccups…
