WiSo, BBE, and Hybrid
Prepare for WU Vienna admission with BBE exam (BBE Aufnahmetest) or WiSo entrance exam practice. Choose one track, or Hybrid to prepare for both together.

Everything you need to prepare for a WU entrance exam, built around the real format, scoring, and time pressure.
A growing bank of exam-style cases across every content area, with a short explanation under each statement so you learn the logic instead of only the answer key.
Sit complete simulations with real pacing pressure and partial-credit scoring, then review where points were won or lost.
Build your own timed sets by topic and difficulty so you can close weak spots without spending hours on material you already know.
Quick drills between full practice sessions until recall feels automatic.
One two-hour exam sits between your family and a strong degree at almost zero cost.
Private tutors in Vienna charge €50 to €100 per hour just to walk through textbook slides. Tuition at WU Vienna is often about ten times lower than comparable schools in the UK or US, so a focused prep investment protects a €100,000 financial advantage.
WU Vienna is a target school for many strong firms, though recruiters usually look at the top of the class. Training for exam pressure now builds the analytical stamina you will need later in recruitment cycles.
Before you pick a preparation plan for BBE or WiSo, look at what your child walks into at WU Vienna and what a wrong plan costs the family in real euros.
The WU Vienna entrance exams are not ordinary school tests. They sort a crowded hall of applicants under announcements and a fixed number of seats on the other side. BBE offers about 240 places and WiSo offers far more, yet both still filter hard under the same kind of pressure.
The volume of competitors is not even the hardest part. The real difficulty sits in the structural rules the university uses to break the field. Your child gets less than a minute per statement, whether that is a dense English passage on BBE, German reading and economics wording on WiSo, or a data-sufficiency style problem worked entirely in their head. At WU Vienna a wrong answer does not just score zero: the computer subtracts points from what the student got right elsewhere.
Acceptance notes
I passed, and I'd only got through about half the material, so yeah, there are more than enough tasks. The platform's good, I just never finished the rest.
Hana, Prague
On the other platforms I tried, the explanations didn't really help, but here they actually do, they go through the task from the start to the end, and the feedback comes back fast.
Leon, Vienna
After the exam I was so glad I'd picked this course. The tasks were about 90% the same as the ones here, but in math there was one probability question I hadn't seen, and I think they made the exam harder on purpose this year. I did three mock exams, and that prepared me.

Analyze how businesses classify human resources among the factors of production used to create goods and services. Evaluate the following economic assertions:
Managers who coordinate schedules supply labour as human resources alongside coordination duties.
Insurance claims handlers processing policies supply labour in a service firm.
Labour is restricted to manual shop-floor work and excludes planners or accountants.
Installing software is a want rather than labour because the service is intangible.
Seasonal pickers fall outside labour because their employment lasts only weeks.
Full solution · Task 1
Answer key
| A | B | C | D | E |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| True | True | False | False | False |
A. → True
Schedule coordination is still human effort applied to production. Managers who set shifts and allocate people are labour as a human resource, even when their work is desk-based rather than shop-floor.
So the statement is True.
B. → True
Claims handlers who process insurance policies perform service work for the firm. That human input is labour, not capital or land. A service firm without people to handle policies cannot deliver the product, so the handlers sit squarely inside the labour factor.
So the statement is True.
C. → False
Labour covers planners, accountants, supervisors, and shop-floor workers alike whenever human effort goes into production. Restricting labour to manual tasks invents a false split.
A planner who sequences jobs and an accountant who tracks costs both supply human resources. Excluding them would leave most offices outside the labour factor, which contradicts how firms actually combine people with machines and materials.
So the statement is False.
D. → False
Installing software is an activity performed for a client: human skills applied as labour. Intangibility makes it a service, not a "want." Wants are consumption preferences; labour is a production factor. Mixing those categories mislabels the installer's work.
So the statement is False.
E. → False
Seasonal pickers work for wages during harvest weeks and still supply labour. Contract length does not reclassify the factor. Short employment remains human effort in production.
So the statement is False.
