Roger Ferré
“My experience at EPIC has been unbeatable. I was looking for a center that helped me prepare for my MBA application, which includes the TOEFL and GMAT tests. Thanks to EPIC I scored 110 out of 120 on the TOEFL and 740 (97% percentile) on the GMAT."

GMAT (740)

Raul Perez
"I took the intensive GMAT course during this winter. Excellent methodology and above all good teachers. The teachers have been at all times very professional and attentive even at the end of the course until the date of the exam. Before I found EPIC Barcelona I went to another academy and I was quite disappointed with the preparation and the staff. Thanks to EPIC I got a score of 740 on the GMAT (before I got 540). Honestly, the teachers at this academy are a ten and very professional, they have helped me a lot in improving my weak points. Highly recommended."

"Great experience with EPIC! Highly recommend to start studying for the GMAT "with EPIC. Provided me with great materials and wide experience during my preparation for both the GMAT and application process for the MBA. It was such a pleasure to have them during the whole process. In the end, I was accepted to each school I applied to, including INSEAD."

What Does the GMAT Unlock for Candidates in Milan?

In Milan, the GMAT is the standard entry test for SDA Bocconi's MBA and specialized master's programs, and a real factor at POLIMI Graduate School of Management as well — both weigh it alongside a candidate's professional profile, not as a simple cutoff. For applicants building a case for SDA Bocconi's most competitive concentrations, or for INSEAD, London Business School and other top international programs, a 10-to-20-point difference in your GMAT Focus score can move you into a different percentile bracket entirely — exactly the margin a structured preparation plan is built to close.

That margin matters because everything else in your file is already decided. Your degree, your final grade, and your experience are fixed by the time SDA Bocconi reads your file, and at POLIMI the GMAT is optional — so submitting a strong one is a deliberate choice to stand out among candidates with near-identical CVs. The GMAT is the one element you can still move before a deadline, and where differentiation is realistically available. A strong score highly supports your application. Those last 20 points, though, rarely come from more practice questions: they come from knowing which mistakes are costing you most and having a plan built around them — which is where a specialized academy changes the outcome.

Which Other Universities in Milan Accept the GMAT?

Beyond SDA Bocconi and POLIMI, Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore accepts the GMAT for its 1-year Specialising Masters in Milan, including Strategic Management for Global Business. No minimum is set, but Cattolica states openly that a good GMAT result will strengthen your application — and admission is decided through an online interview with the Master's committee rather than a numerical cut-off.

That combination is precisely where a score earns its place. When a school selects on profile and conversation, the GMAT is the one piece of objective evidence in your file, read before anyone meets you, and the only part of the application you can still improve between now and the deadline.

Why prepare for the GMAT with a specialized academy in Milan?

Within EPIC Prep, an entire team is devoted exclusively to GMAT preparation — not an extension of a broader test-prep curriculum, but its own discipline, refined since 2010 across every update to the exam, including the shift to the GMAT Focus Edition. EPIC Prep is built around individual tutoring: a dedicated, native-English tutor working with your profile specifically, with small-group formats available for students who prefer that setting without any drop in attention. PrepDrills, our data-driven platform, tracks your performance throughout your course — so as you improve, your plan adjusts with you to achieve your goal, whether that's SDA Bocconi's competitive tier or the 645+ range top international programs look for.

EPIC Prep Milan is an academy that specializes in the GMAT. Every course starts with a diagnostic assessment — your starting level, your target score and your exam date — before we design your plan around expert tutors, exclusive materials and the EPIC Prep Methodology.

Frequently Asked Questions about the GMAT Courses in Milan

In this section, you’ll find detailed answers to the questions candidates most often ask when considering the GMAT Focus Edition for MBA, Master’s in Management or Master’s in Finance admissions in Milan — including whether the test is required at schools like SDA Bocconi and POLIMI, how the GMAT differs from the GRE, the exam’s current structure and scoring system, score validity, retake policy, and the choice between an authorized test center and the online format.

Whether you’re applying to business school programs in Milan, elsewhere in Europe, the United States or other international destinations, understanding how the GMAT works and the role it plays in each school’s admissions process is essential to building a well-informed strategy.

SDA Bocconi and POLIMI Graduate School of Management both play a role in Milan’s GMAT landscape, weighing it alongside a candidate’s professional profile and academic record. Beyond Milan, LUISS Business School and Rome Business School in Rome, Bologna Business School, and MIB School of Management in Trieste also factor the GMAT into their admissions decisions.

SDA Bocconi’s published floor is a 485 GMAT Focus Edition score — the minimum just to submit an application, not a competitive number. Depending on the program, admitted students commonly land anywhere from the high 500s into the low 600s, and the school’s own admissions team has cited a class average around 670 for its most competitive intake. Treat 650 and above as the range that puts you in serious contention, particularly alongside a strong professional profile and interview.

Yes, it accepts the GMAT, although not a strict requirement. A strong GMAT score adds real weight to a POLIMI application, even without a published required minimum. Submitted alongside the school’s own admissions test, it becomes one more way for a candidate to stand out — particularly for MBA and management-focused master’s programs, where a competitive score can offset a less conventional academic background.

Preparing in Milan doesn’t tie you to Italian programs — it’s the same GMAT Focus Edition wherever you send your score. London Business School’s admitted average sits at 645, with 655+ read as highly competitive; INSEAD’s competitive band runs 645 to 695; HEC Paris’s current class average is 635; and LSE’s accepted range spans 640 to 730. It’s common for our Milan students to build a file for SDA Bocconi and one of these programs in parallel, rather than choosing between them upfront.

Both, and neither is treated as the other’s add-on — GMAT and GRE preparation run as fully separate programs in Milan, down to the tutors and materials each one uses. Not sure which test fits your target schools? Our GMAT vs. GRE comparison walks through the scoring and structural differences, or tell our Milan team which programs you’re aiming for and we’ll point you to the right one.

Most students need 10 to 15 weeks of structured preparation when there’s no immediate deadline pressing. A closer test date calls for an intensive 5-to-7-week track instead, and students who walk in already strong on fundamentals can sometimes close the gap in just 3 to 5 weeks of targeted work. Your Milan-based advisor sets the actual pace after a diagnostic assessment shows where you stand against your target score.
