Why choose us

The energy of a group, the focus on each student

Working in a group builds a critical approach, comparison and strategic analysis: essential skills for tackling the test at your best. Every question is seen from more than one angle, every mistake becomes a lesson for the whole group, and the pace stays high from the first lesson to the last.

The small size keeps the attention firmly on each individual: the tutors follow everyone's working, correct you as you solve and build your strategy with you. It is this balance that makes the course effective and engaging.

Meet the tutors

The TIEC Cattolica Test Masterclass is Up to Ten's course for the TIEC, the admission test for Economics at Cattolica. It is 23 lessons of an hour and a half in a small group, two a week, in person in Milan and online, from €33 an hour. Next start coming soon.

Who it's for

Who the Masterclass is for

You are aiming for Economics at Cattolica

The TIEC is the entrance test for Economics: 48 questions in 60 minutes, four areas of 12. A course built on that test, with its rules and its timing, is worth more than a generic revision.

The basics are there, the score isn't

You do not need to start from scratch: you need to raise your score, which at Cattolica also decides when you can reserve your place. The group works when the level is similar and the pace stays high.

On your own, you stall

You know what you should do and you do not do it. A shared timetable with other people holds better than good intentions.

The method

How the TIEC course works

Small groups, the same group until the test

Dynamic, focused groups that stay the same from the first lesson to the test. Two live lessons a week of an hour and a half, in person in Milan or online, in the same group.

Masterclasses built for the TIEC

Maths, logic and verbal comprehension, then 7 full mock tests marked in class: the route to the Economics courses at Cattolica. English, 12 questions on the test, is trained in the mock tests.

Our own teaching materials and mock tests

A test platform and teaching materials matched to the real test, developed in-house and constantly updated. You sit the mock tests from home, 48 questions in 60 minutes like the real test, and we mark them in class. The materials for each lesson are available in advance, so you arrive prepared.

Guided independent work

Between lessons, exercises and checks to consolidate what you have learnt and strengthen your strategy and time management. Personal feedback keeps you working on your weak points, session after session, with progress visible to parents on Up to Connect.

Test ammissione Economia Cattolica superato in 2 mesi

Sono stati veramente bravissimi, in meno di 2 mesi hanno permesso a mia figlia di superare il test di ammissione ad Economia dell Università Cattolica partendo da delle conoscenze matematiche molto scarse. Tra le altre cose sono anche molto professionali ed hanno una bellissima app che permette di monitorare l andamento delle lezioni. Super consigliati

Ammissione a Economics and Finance Bocconi

Con mio figlio abbiamo scelto Up To Ten per preparare l’esame di ammissione in "International Economics and Finance" per la laurea triennale in Bocconi alla fine della quarta superiore e l’esame è stato superato con successo. In particolare, desidero ringraziare Andrea e Anna, che lo hanno seguito con grande competenza, pazienza e professionalità. Non solo hanno colmato in modo efficace le lacune che aveva, ma sono riusciti a individuare gli errori nel suo metodo di studio e a guidarlo verso un approccio più efficace e consapevole. Ciò che abbiamo apprezzato di più è che il lavoro fatto non si è limitato alla preparazione dell’esame, ma ha contribuito a un miglioramento reale e duraturo nel suo modo di studiare. Consiglio Up To Ten a chi cerca un supporto personalizzato, capace di valorizzare gli studenti e di accompagnarli verso i loro obiettivi con metodo e attenzione.

Test d'ingresso Bocconi superato

Mia figlia Giulia ha seguito il percorso di preparazione al test d'ingresso alla Bocconi con Up to Ten, e siamo rimasti davvero soddisfatti del risultato! L’insegnante dedicato si è dimostrato estremamente competente e attento, capace di fornire spiegazioni precise anche sugli argomenti più complessi. Il grande valore aggiunto è stato l'approccio personalizzato, che ha consentito a Giulia di lavorare sui suoi punti deboli in modo mirato, in un ambiente tranquillo e in presenza, cosa che ha fatto una grande differenza rispetto alle soluzioni puramente online o ai corsi collettivi. Grazie a loro, Giulia è riuscita a superare il test e ad essere ammessa alla Bocconi. Siamo davvero grati e li raccomandiamo a chiunque cerchi un supporto serio e professionale!

Test d'ingresso Politecnico superato

Mio figlio Marco ha preparato il test d'ingresso al Politecnico con Up to Ten e siamo super soddisfatti! Il tutor dedicato è stato eccezionale, sempre disponibile e chiaro nelle spiegazioni. La continuità didattica e l'approccio in presenza presso la loro sede e personalizzato hanno davvero fatto la differenza, soprattutto rispetto ad altre società che offrono solo corsi online o in gruppo. Grazie a loro, è entrato al politecnico. Consigliatissimi!

Preparazione chimica per test di medicina

Federico è sempre stato di grandissimo supporto, soprattutto in questo ultimo periodo, in cui mi ha dato una mano in chimica, per il test di medicina. In ogni occasione, mi è stato davvero di supporto, soprattutto nei momenti di massimo sconforto, mi ha sempre incitato a non mollare. Oltre alle grandi competenze in materia, mi ha fatto capire che la chimica, alla fine, non è così tanto noiosa! La stessa cosa vale per Arianna, molto competente in matematica e fisica, mi ha sempre trasmesso tanta calma e sicurezza, anche quando continuava a non capire e avevo più bisogno di supporto.

Esperienza eccellente! Mio figlio si è trovato benissimo: i tutor sono molto competenti, disponibili e sempre pronti ad aiutare, anche per lezioni last minute prima di verifiche o interrogazioni. Ho apprezzato anche la grande preparazione nei test Bocconi e la capacità di rendere ogni lezione chiara ed efficace. Un servizio serio, organizzato e di alto livello, con persone che lavorano con passione e professionalità!

Single hour
€39/hour

Prices include

  • Dedicated tutors
  • All the teaching materials
  • Access to the test platform
  • The whole pool of exercises and mock tests

After the assessment, the preparation — full or partial by area — starts with the purchase of blocks of hours. The mock tests are taken from home on the Up to Ten platform and are marked in class.

Blocks are counted in hours, not lessons (e.g. 12 hours = 8 sessions of an hour and a half), are valid for 18 months from purchase and are non-refundable. Once the hours are used up, simply buy a new block to carry on with the preparation.

What we do promise

Not the result: that depends on you, on where you start and how hard you work, and no course can guarantee it. We promise what depends on us: a tutor who knows where you lose marks after every mock test, and a course that starts from your level.

When

Next start coming soon: write to us and we will tell you the date as soon as the group is formed. The 2027/28 call is out: the first TIEC session is on 28, 29 and 30 January 2027, with registration open until 20 January; then come 18–20 March, 12–13 May, 12 July and 7 September, but after the first one the sessions only go ahead if places are left. Places are reserved by score threshold: first those with at least 35 points, then 30 and 25, until the places run out. All the rules are on the TIEC Preparation page.

The test

Four areas, twelve questions each

The TIEC is the admission test for the Economics degrees at Università Cattolica: 48 questions in 60 minutes, online from home, with four answer options. The four areas — logic, maths, reading comprehension and general knowledge, and English — are worth 12 questions each, and eligibility requires a minimum number of correct answers in each.

  • 48

    questions in 60 minutes, 12 for each of the four areas

  • +1.05

    for each correct answer; −0.21 for a wrong one, 0 if you leave it blank

  • 25

    points for eligibility, with at least 6 correct in logic, comprehension and English and 4 in maths

  • 35

    points to reserve a place in the first window; in the later ones 30 and then 25 are enough

Up to 6 points of certifications (4 for a language, 2 for IT) are added to the test score; the school record does not count for those with an Italian diploma. These are the rules of the 2027/28 call, the same as last year.

23 lessons of an hour and a half, two a week. You begin with the initial assessment, taken on your own before session 1, which sets your starting point; from session 17 come the 7 full mock tests, timed and in the real test format, marked in class.

FAQ

Questions about the TIEC course

Maths (sets, algebra, exponentials and logarithms, analytic and plane geometry), logic and verbal comprehension, with 7 full mock tests. English, which is worth 12 questions out of 48 on the test, has no lessons of its own: it is trained in the mock tests.
The preparation can be partial, by area or by individual topics: after the initial assessment you follow only the modules you are missing and buy only those hours. If you would rather have a plan built entirely around you, there is one-to-one.
Small by design: big enough for the tutors to follow everyone's working and correct you while you solve, and not one more. The same group stays together from the first lesson to the last, in person and online. If there are not enough students for a group, we offer one-to-one or paired lessons with the same tutors.
Soon: write to us and we'll give you the exact date as soon as the group is formed. It is 23 lessons of an hour and a half, two a week, in person in Milan and online in the same group. If you have a deadline coming up, one-to-one starts whenever you want.
It depends on where you start from. If you have specific gaps to fill, one-to-one is faster, because the plan is entirely yours. If the basics are there and the problem is the score, the group costs less and working alongside others helps. If you are not sure, let's talk before you enrol.
More frequently asked questions (7)
They have the format of the test: 48 questions in 60 minutes, four areas of 12, +1.05 for a right answer and −0.21 for a wrong one. You sit them from home, on the Up to Ten platform, like the real test, and we mark them in class. The TIEC is not an adaptive test, so neither are the mock tests.
It starts with an initial assessment at €75, done on your own before the first lesson. Then you pay in blocks of hours at the group rate: €33 an hour with the 12-hour block, €36 with the 5-hour block, €39 for a single hour. The price includes the dedicated tutors, all the teaching materials, the test platform and the whole pool of exercises and mock tests. Blocks are counted in hours, not lessons, are valid for 18 months and are non-refundable.
For most students, yes: the programme covers maths, logic and verbal comprehension, up to the 7 mock tests marked in class. The rest is up to you: where you start from and how much you work between lessons, with the exercises and checks the tutors set you.
It is the Masterclass starting point: a test you take on your own before session 1, covering the areas of the test. The tutors analyse it before you begin and, from there, build the preparation that suits you best with you: full, or partial by area. It costs €75.
In 2027/28 there are five sessions: 28–30 January, 18–20 March, 12–13 May, 12 July and 7 September 2027, and after the first one they only go ahead if places are left. Registration for the first runs from 2 November to 20 January, and results come out on 8 February. In the first three sessions the place is reserved in tiers: first those with at least 35 points, then 30 and 25.
No, for those with an Italian diploma: what counts is the test and, on top of it, up to 6 points of certifications: up to 4 for a language certificate (level B1 or above) and 2 for ICDL or EIPASS.
Economics and Management has a TIEC in English, with the same rules, and its result is also valid for the Italian-taught courses. The lessons are in Italian and prepare you for the four areas: if you are aiming for that course, write to us and we will see together how to train your English.
