When one aspires to enter a business school, the entrance exams are often a crucial step in the selection process. In order to succeed, it is important to be well prepared beforehand, both in terms of method and organization. In this article, we will present the advice of an icédien in order to be successful in the competitive entrance exams.
Understand the expectations of the schools
The first step to succeeding in the ICD Business School exam is to understand the school's expectations. It is important to learn about the selection criteria, the tests offered and the profiles sought. This will allow you to better target your efforts and prepare effectively.
Give yourself enough time to prepare
To succeed, it is essential to give yourself enough time to prepare. It is advisable to start working several months in advance. To do this, ICD Business School offers workshops called Early Training to prepare you for the tests.
Work regularly
Regularity is one of the secrets to success. It is important to devote time every day to preparing for the exams, by working on the different subjects, practicing for the written and oral exams, and making revision sheets. For example, you can follow the news and read the press kits published by institutional sites and the specialized press to deepen your general knowledge and stand out from the other candidates!
Prepare for the oral exams
The oral exams are often an important part of the business school exams. In order to succeed, it is important to prepare well in advance, by working on your personal presentation, your professional project, and by practicing the different exercises proposed (multiple choice questions, motivation interview, etc.).
Get help from teachers or students
To maximize your chances of success, it may be useful to get help from teachers at your high school or students at the ICD Business School. They will be able to give you practical advice, help you identify your weaknesses, and accompany you in your preparation. The best way to prepare is practice some simulations, preferably in coordination with someone outside of your immediate circle.
Managing your stress on D-day
Finally, in order to be successful, it is essential to manage your stress on D-day. To do this, it is recommended to get enough rest the day before, to eat well, to relax before the test, and to focus on your objectives.
By following these tips, you will increase your chances of success and of getting a place in the school of your choice. Remember that success is based on rigorous preparation, efficient organization, and unfailing motivation!
