A trainer for the WISO entrance exam at WU
We are building a trainer for the three areas of the exam: economics, German and maths. Tasks in WU's format, scored with WU's partial-credit rules. Below is one task from our bank.
Try one task from the trainer
A sample of how the WISO trainer will work when it opens: one task from its bank and the interactive graph from its theory article.
Movement along the curve or a shift of the curve?
Drag the price on the price axis, or a whole curve sideways. The arrow keys change the price by 5 cents.
The price rises, the buyers want less. Does that shift the demand curve?
What the entrance exam covers
The trainer will be organised by these parts of the exam.
- Economics fundamentals, based on WU's own reading "Wirtschaft verstehen"
- German comprehension; WU recommends regular reading of German-language quality media
- General mathematics from WU's own numbered topic list (Themen 01–13): logic, algebra, functions, derivatives, probability and more
What the trainer will have
Tasks in economics, German and maths in WU's format, theory on the exam topics and an explanation of every answer, scored the way WU scores it.
Tasks for the three areas
A situation and five statements, as in WU's tasks, in economics, German and maths.
Theory
Short articles on the topics WU names for the exam, with exercises right in the text.
Explanation and score
After you answer you see which statements are true and why, and how many points your marks would get under WU's rules.

For the WISO entrance procedure WU publishes the duration (2 hours, in person), the three areas (economics fundamentals, German comprehension, mathematics), the task format and the partial-credit scoring system. How many tasks fall to each area and where a pass mark would sit it does not publish. Our simulation is part of the trainer and reproduces WU's format and scoring; the split between areas is our own choice and not a WU requirement.
Three areas: economics, based on WU's own reading Wirtschaft verstehen; German comprehension, for which WU recommends reading quality newspapers; and mathematics, topics 01 to 13 from logic to the binomial distribution, at the level of the Austrian AHS Matura.
In principle any calculator, as long as it cannot solve systems of linear equations, multiply matrices, differentiate or integrate, and has no text memory. WU names the TI-30XS MultiView, TI-30X Plus MultiView, TI-30X Plus MathPrint and TI-30X IIS as allowed and the TI-30X Pro MathPrint as not allowed. Anyone caught with a forbidden calculator is excluded.
Not below zero. Questions with one right answer are scored all or nothing; on questions with several right answers each right tick earns points and each wrong tick costs points, but a question never scores less than zero.
WU publishes the information for the 2027/28 procedure in mid-November. In the last cycle registration ran from early March to mid-May and the exam took place at the end of June, once a year with no alternative date.
