The Luiss Test
The Luiss Test is an online assessment consisting of psycho-aptitude questions inspired by the SAT model, designed to evaluate skills in logical reasoning, problem-solving, and mathematics.
The test is conducted online via the platform designated by the University and incorporates monitoring systems to ensure the fairness of the selection process, including asynchronous audio-visual verification tools and live proctoring.
Preparation materials, mock tests, and practice exercises are available on the dedicated page.
To take the test, you must have submitted your application by 10 February 2027 and have indicated your chosen degree programme, which is binding for the purposes of admission and any subsequent enrolment.
The test will take place from 22 to 26 February 2027, on the date and at the time selected when booking.
You can take the test only once and for only one degree programme, which must be specified in your application form. Until 10 February 2027, you can change your choice by emailing ammissione@luiss.it. After this date, the course you have selected becomes binding for the purposes of admission and enrolment. The test is conducted in the language of the chosen degree programme.
If you have a Specific Learning Disorder (SpLD) or a disability of 66% or more, you can request assistive tools when you register for the test. You can find the procedures and deadlines in the FAQs at the bottom of the page.
