Pre-test for the M.Sc. Agricultural Sciences: Agricultural Economics major

The admission regulations require all applicants to take an online pre-test. This test aims to give you an idea of what kind of previous knowledge we expect you to have. The result of the test shows you where you still have gaps and where you need to improve your knowledge to prepare for your Master’s program. 

Pre-test mandatory for all applicants

The pre-test is mandatory for all applicants, but the result does not affect your chances of admission! This mandatory self-assessment can help you find out whether this is the right degree program for you. 

  • We ask that you complete this internet-based test within 120 minutes without help from anyone else. 
  • You can only take this test once. 
  • Please make sure you have a calculator. 
  • At the end of the test, you have to print out the results of the pre-test as a PDF file and upload it as part of your application. 

Please note that your admission will only be based on other information that can be checked and is certified.

How to prepare

We recommend that you prepare by reviewing related topics.

  • “Microeconomics” by R.S. Pindyck and D.L. Rubinfeld and
