Question 1

What is the Luiss Test?

Accepted Answer

It's one of the admission routes to Luiss Guido Carli's bachelor programs and the single-cycle degree in Law: candidates holding a qualifying international certification can be admitted directly instead, and the non-EU and Summer School routes have their own procedures. The test has 50 multiple-choice questions in 75 minutes, with one answer selected per question. Luiss describes the questions as logical-reasoning, mathematical and psycho-aptitude, inspired by the SAT model, assessing logic, problem solving and mathematical skills.

Question 2

How is the Luiss Test scored?

Accepted Answer

Each correct answer is worth +1, each wrong answer costs −0.25, and blank answers score 0: that is the Regolamento e guida for the online test, and Luiss's own FAQ. Results are reported out of 100, and Luiss does not publish how the 50-question raw score converts, so no one can state the mapping. That negative marking changes strategy completely: knowing when to answer and when to leave a question blank is a skill in itself, and every simulation on LuissPrep applies the real scheme.

Question 3

When is the Luiss Test for 2027/28?

Accepted Answer

Applications for the first session are open now and close on 10 February 2027 (participation fee €150, non-refundable). The test runs 22–26 February 2027, on the day and time you book, and results come out in the second half of April 2027. If you are admitted, you book your place by 4 May 2027 by paying the first €5,000 instalment of the €15,000 annual fee. A second session follows, with applications from April to 10 May 2027, but only for the degree courses that still have places after the first.

Question 4

Can I go back to a question I skipped?

Accepted Answer

No. The Regolamento e guida for the online test is explicit: navigation is sequential, you move forward with "Avanti", and once the page changes you cannot return, neither to change an answer you gave nor to complete one you left blank. Paging through the whole test without answering still counts as a valid attempt. Practising one pass, deciding each question as it comes, is the biggest habit change this format asks for.

Question 5

What does "psycho-aptitude" actually mean?

Accepted Answer

Not personality testing. In Italian admissions, psico-attitudinale means aptitude reasoning: deductions and syllogisms, verbal reasoning, numerical reasoning, series and problem solving. It's exactly the question families in our logic, numerical and verbal banks.

Question 6

Should I take the test in English or Italian?

Accepted Answer

You don't choose the language separately: it follows the degree course you apply for. The 2027/28 admission notice is explicit: an Italian-taught course means sitting the test in Italian, an English-taught course means sitting it in English. You name one course in your application, you can change it by email until 10 February 2027, and after that it is binding. So decide the course first, then prepare in that course's language.

Question 7

How is admission decided?

Accepted Answer

By ranking on the test score. The 2027/28 admission notice decides admission exclusively by the Luiss Test score, plus a bonus of 3 or 5 points for students of the Luiss Foundation Programme. There is no fixed minimum score: candidates are ranked per degree course, in hundredths, and admitted in score order until that course's places run out. There's no school-record component, which makes every point of test performance count.

Question 8

Can I sit the Luiss Test more than once?

Accepted Answer

Once per session, for one course. The 2027/28 notice allows one sitting of the February test, for the single degree course you apply for. If you are not admitted, Luiss points you to the second session (applications by 10 May 2027), but that session only offers the courses that still have places, and in 2026 it had about a fifth of the first session's places. Treat February as the attempt that counts. Inside any sitting there is no second look at a question either, so realistic, timed practice beforehand is essential.

Question 9

Does LuissPrep cover the exact test structure?

Accepted Answer

Our bank covers the skills Luiss names (logic, problem solving, mathematics, plus numerical, verbal and reading question families) with 2,000+ questions and worked solutions. Luiss publishes no section breakdown and no per-area question counts for the real test, and the 2027/28 admission notice adds none. Its free official practice paper mixes the question types together instead of grouping them into sections, and some of its questions have three options rather than four.

Question 10

Is LuissPrep affiliated with Luiss?

Accepted Answer

No. LuissPrep is an independent preparation platform and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Luiss Guido Carli. All test facts on this site are sourced from Luiss's official pages, with links.
