Hi Alin! Thank you so much for this informative video and your mindmap! I have some questions. 1. So, if I understood it well: the maths questions that came up in the BBE entrance exam last year were ones from previous maturas? 2. Didn't you have questions about the understanding of the English language? (Because for this year, there is...) 3. Regarding the business section of the exam, more specifically the financial ratios and formulas of the balance sheet, were there questions where calculation was involved? (e.g. calculating the owner's equity,...) 4. Were there questions about business topics, that had not been covered in the "Introduction to Business and Economics" book? 5. Did you study the mathematics book that they provide, or were you able to survive without it (haha)? 6. In the maths part, were there also any questions about antiderivation? 7. You mentioned that in the maths part, there were questions about probability that required formulas that you were unfamiliar with. Would you recommend something that can help us to find these formulas?
No worries;) 1. yes mainly type 1 questions 2. Yes but these are understanding English questions but with a business context. So maybe a statement about a company wanting to expand and you have to tick the option that best describes the meaning of the statement. 3. Yes. E.g. they show you a balance sheet and you're supposed to calculate ratios from that. 4. No but you should know basic business vocab 5. I actually tried to not study from it for the longest time bc it was too complicated for me at first. O started looking into it 1/2 weeks before the exam and wish I did it sooner bc it really is great practice and easy if you go through the theory parts of the book. 7. No 8. Understand the Cumulative probability formula. Keep in mind though: There is no "one formula" to study it is mainly about understanding the mechanics of probability.
Well,they,ve provided two books and also a lot of previous exam papers with solutions.Tho unfortunately,the solutions are in german.As of now, I haven't read these books yet.But there is no slightest hint of anything resembling exam tasks so far.
hii! where can you find the second book(about the math part), because i could find only the economic book. Also where did you get previous papers? I would be really greatfull if you link them!
@@ilimmaksatbekov640 glad to know I’m not the only one, I did the math part last and half of it I just read the questions and answered by heart cause I didn’t have enough time
@@sofiatassinari6283 Same, I just randomly ticked the answers for the most of the maths part, I was so desperate. The time was really insufficient, plus the issue with the long text confused me af.

Thank you so much for this video! I have a question for you: When you were practicing with the former A-Level exams did you only do Part 1 Questions or Part 2 Questions too? I heard that the math part last year was quite similar to the Part 1 questions. Thanks again :)
Bro amazing video! I am applying for WU BBE, and I wanted to know if you know any practice exams online for business and economics, if yes please help me to find them out
hi, thank you very much for the video, i was wondering where you can find these books you were talking about, with the math preparation, and also the samples from the previous years, because it seems for me that there is no any
Hello, I have a quick question. I am from the US (Florida to be exact). Does being from the US and having English be my native language give me a big advantage over others taking the exam? I am a dual citizen (Hungary-USA).
Hi Alin, thanks a lot for the video. Very insightful! I am about to do the exam this year (next week!!), just wanted to ask you a question about it. Do you remember whether there were any questions on sin, cos, tan, and vectors in the exam? thanks a lot in advance!
Another great video! I have one question concerning the business part of the exam: were there any questions regarding AT&S or the small business mentioned in the text? I don't think there will be as they just seem to be used for clarification purposes, but I think it's better to be safe than sorry :)
Thank you! You don't have to memorise any facts about these businesses but they might be used as an example in the readings and the AT&S balance sheet for calculating ratios. Haha yeah no worries I get that!
Hi, could you tell me please, whether there will be only theoretical questions in the economic part of the exam concerning the economic book, or there can be tasks requiring solutions? ( for example tasks where you have to calculate the equation of the demand line etc.) If yes, then what chapters or themes they can be related to? Thanks for your answer in advance!
There can be questions about both. It wouldn't make sense to recommend specific pages to you since the whole book is exam relevent. What I can say is that supply and demand, the balance sheet and marketing are going to come up for sure. Np!
hey, just wondering what is the standrad of learning of people that go to this college? im average at school and im not sure if i even would have a chance to get in
Your rank in the BBE entrance exam score will play the biggest role in your chances of getting accepted or not. So if you are motivated and ready to work hard you should study for it really hard! I also have some videos about it on my youtube channel and I am also a second year WU BBE student. So good luck with your studies!! If you have urgent questions you can also dm me @maria.teachie
Another question, hope I don’t bother you🥺 Is the selection based on a general score of the test? Like, for example, as I said before, if I don’t do good in a section but I do great in the other ones. Is it graded based on sections by themselves or in general?
Hi! Best video and channel I’ve found in this topic❤️ Quick question, what was your score? Also, if I fail one of the 3 sections, but I get a high score in the other 2, does that affect if I get into the uni?
Thank you so much! I can't remember my my exact score but my ranking was 57/240. Failing one section is not disqualifying but I think if you do fail one your ranking would be to low to get in since only the best 240 (spots for 2019) people get in.
Thank you so much for the Video! Regarding the Motivation statement, do I also have to write down my contact Details? Is it enough if I Write down my name - Motivation Statement? Bc usually one has to also write down His/her email But i already gave That Information away on the online registration Tool
Hey, amazing video and would so much appreciate if you answered just this simple question: is there any geometry coming on the entrance exam? Thank you!!
Where did you find the page at 3:16? And do I have to come to Austria to give the exam? Also,do you know the month in which the exam could happen? Did you give the OSA?
Hey! Really loved your videos, you are doing great. I would really like to know if the university fee included the dormitory (as it’s mentioned on the website)?
hey, I am also a second year WU BBE student. And no, the fee is actually pretty low for the education and doesn't include any dormitory. The student dorms cost from about 350-800 euros per month, depending on where it is and is it a shared or a single room
Hi and thanks for your timely videos! I thinks my question is the opposite of other people's! If I only study the recommended chapters of the book - which are about half of it, and not Matura's papers, could it be enough?! Since I found Matura's questions time-consuming to practice in this little remaining time! And I can understand the book easily. Besides, as of the math example question in the mock exam, it seems that all the questions of this exam are business- and economics-related, so I think the book can be more helpful, Matura questions are about various topics and some of them are not among exam areas mentioned on the website.
Hi, my pleasure! Well I'd say if you were good at math before you shouldn't have to worry. I would still recommend to do some of the type one questions of the maturas to get a feel of the question style. It doesn't matter if you don't do all of them just try to get some done each day:)
Thanks for doing this video, it was really helpful! Could I ask something? Were there any questions with integrals? They don't mention it on the website but I just want to be sure :D
hi, I am interested in the Wirtschafts- und Sozialwissenschaften program at Vienna Economic University. And still didn't understand the difference between LVP, PI, and VUE exam types. Can anyone explain it?
@@jazminvigh9336 omg same😫😫😫 I’m still not sure how exactly the business part looks like. I heard it’s actually reading and you just need to be aware of the business vocabulary and just have some basic understating (you get that from the book). I’m really scared about the math part lol🥲
Thank you so much for providing this information! I've looked everywhere but there's hardly anything to find :/ I'm also applying this year and I am honestly so nervous, I started studying like 7 weeks ago (even though I should have studied for Matura haha) but I still feel like I'm not prepared, mainly because I was more of a "befriedigend" maths student. Do you think that would be enough for the entrance exam? Thank you again! :)
I definitely think that's enough! If you're not as strong in maths, concentrate on the theory and english parts and try to really excel in those categories; that's what I did and even though I've been a "befriedigend" maths student as well, I was still somehow upon the upper 10% in the entrance exam so don't lose hope!
Thanks so much! I also wasn't the best student in maths at school. Got (3s and 4s) I agree with Elu focus on the English part and study math until you feel comfortable doing the exercises from the essential mathematics book!
