Hello everyone! Here you will find all the summarized information:

Questions answered:

0:40-1:06 Q1: Are there any sample/previous WU BBE entrance exam papers?
No

1:08-2:10 Q2: How to prepare for the WU BBE entrance exam?
Either by yourself following WU's recommendations here:
https://www.wu.ac.at/en/programs/appl...

Please select the Bachelor of Business and Economics and where you have received your education and then go to step 2, scroll down until the entrance exam section, all the details will be there (the country of your education ONLY INFLUENCES THE ADMISSION PROCEDURE. It does not influence the selection procedure, it is the same for everyone).

OR

With the preparation course I made: bbe-exam.com
It focuses mainly on the math part, because most students struggle with that part, especially international (non-Austrian) students.

Please also check my instagram and the sequence of posts I made about the application to WU BBE (insta: maria.teachie, scroll down to the red-blue themed posts), the highlights on my instagram and the videos on my youtube channel. This will give you a very good overview of the selection procedure to WU BBE.

2:12-4:29 Q3: Can you apply to more than one university program at once?
Yes. And you can also study at more than one uni program at once.
Livestream with Viola (a student who studies both, WISO (Business, Economics, and Social Sciences) and BBE), she compares the two programs and the selection procedure to them: https://www.instagram.com/tv/CSXNFnlC...


4:31-5:19 Q4: If you are a native English speaker, do you need to complete/solve the English part of the WU BBE entrance exam?
Yes. EVERYONE HAS TO TAKE ALL 3 PARTS OF THE ENTRANCE EXAM, NO MATTER OF THEIR EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND.

5:21-6:26 Q5: Do you need to know German to apply to WU BBE?
NO. And you also do not need to know German to come and survive in Vienna.

6:27-7:40 Q6: How many questions are there in each part of the WU BBE entrance exam? & Their format & Partial points grading system
3 parts: English, Economics, Math
10-13 questions in each part
5 True/False statements in each question
Document created by WU: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-8LZ...
How the entrance exam in 2021 was reviewed and graded.

Example:
Main task: a picture of a graph.
1) The function is increasing on the interval [3;9] True/False
2) The function is concave up on the interval [-10;0] True/False
...
5) The function is monotonically decreasing on the interval [2;5] True/False

5 points are available for the whole question. 20% (in this case 1 point) for each statement marked correctly with True/False. All statements can be True or all statements can be False. Usually, it is a mix.

7:42-8:13 Q7: Which part of the entrance exam weighs more?
It is safe to assume they all weigh approx. the same, 33%. In 2021:
English: 21%
Economics:40%
Math: 39%
But this can be changed in 2022.

8:14-9:13 Q8: How much time does the WU BBE entrance exam last?
2018-2020: 3 hours
2021: 2 hours (but the number of questions stayed the same)

9:15-10:39 Q9: WU BBE online exam instructions (it will be online in 2022 on the 28th of June), e.g., is a pen and a paper allowed? & Mock exams
Please also check the youtube video I made about the Online Entrance Exam format and procedure.

10:42-11:56 Q10: Tech difficulties
A post I made summarizing all of them: https://www.instagram.com/p/CShm91iiv...

11:58-12:36 Q11: Do international (countries outside the EU/EEA) applicants need a document called “Special university entrance qualification” to apply to WU BBE?

NO. Only needed for the German Bachelor's programs at WU. Please check my Plan B youtube video's description for more details about that document.
