A quick walkthrough of our online prep platform and how we prepare you for the BBE exam.

Exam structure

BBE Exam Structure 2026

Mathematics

Mathematics is the most critical and challenging section. 3,900 applicants. 240 spots. Those who practised under timed conditions made it — those who did not, did not.

Algebra and functions
Calculus and derivatives
Statistics and probability
Financial mathematics
Logarithms and exponential functions
Binomial distribution and confidence intervals
Diagram and table analysis
What you need to know

Time is the main enemy. Exam shortened from 2 hours 30 minutes to 2 hours. Math takes the most time. Without timed practice you'll fail not from lack of knowledge, but slowness.

🧮

Physical calculator allowed. The exam is not online, so a physical calculator is allowed. Importantly, check the official WU website for allowed models.

🎯

Partial scoring exists. Each question is a set of statements (True/False). You can earn partial points even if not all statements are correct.

📈

Weight and Complexity. Maths and economics have the same part of the overall score, but maths is significantly more complex and requires more preparation.

🧩

Logic tasks are part of maths. This includes sequences and analytical thinking. Don't underestimate them — they require specific speed training to solve within the time limit.

Economics & Business

Based on the official WU textbook: Fuhrmann B. (2019) 'Introduction to Business and Economics', chapters 1–6. This is the only official source. Questions test conceptual understanding — not just memorization.

Microeconomics: demand, supply, market equilibrium
Macroeconomics: GDP, inflation, unemployment
Accounting and finance basics
Firm theory and market structures
International trade and globalisation
Elementary financial mathematics
What you need to know
📖

One book — the only official source. Fuhrmann (2019) is it. WU publishes nothing else. Read chapters 1–6 carefully, not diagonally.

🧩

Focus on analysis, not rote learning. The exam tests the ability to apply theory to real business cases. Mechanical memorization will not yield results — it is important to understand the essence of economic processes.

English Language

The entire exam is in English — so even if your math is strong, weak English will ruin your result. Questions cover grammar, vocabulary, and reading comprehension on business, economics, and contemporary social issues.

Grammar and sentence structure
Academic and business vocabulary
Reading comprehension: business/economics texts
Understanding academic text style
What you need to know
📝

B2+ level needed. WU requires B2 for admission, but a practical C1 level is an advantage for succeeding in the exam.

🗞

Read business media. Financial Times, The Economist, BBC Business — regular reading boosts both vocabulary and reading speed.

🎯

Context over rule knowledge. Grammar questions often require understanding meaning in context — not just memorized rules.

FAQ

Everything you want to know

No — these are two different entrance exams for two different programmes. However, the structure and types of tasks are identical. The main difference is the language: WISO is taught and tested primarily in German, while BBE is English-only.
Yes. WU requires proof of English B2 level. However, you only need to submit the certificate at the official enrolment stage (after passing the exam). Some school-leaving certificates already qualify — check the official list on the WU website.
Depends on your starting level. If math and economics are new — minimum 3–4 months of serious preparation. If you have a base — 1.5–2 months of focused practice. The key: regularity and exam-format practice, not just reading theory.
No. From 2026 the BBE exam is in-person only. No online option, no alternative dates. This is a change from previous years when the exam was held online via WISEflow.
You can register without a diploma. It's only required later — at official enrolment (from July). So even if you're graduating in 2026 — you can register from March 2 without any issue.
If within the first week after starting the course you decide it's not right for you — just message me on Telegram. Full refund, no questions asked.

Also considering WISO or need EPD? We have dedicated courses for both.
