How does it compare to the on-campus study skills test? And should you prepare differently? Key differences between the ITB-ASET vs. the Leuphana Study Skills test will be addressed below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_82_2 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/edu-link.de\/de\/itb-aset-vs-leuphana-study-skills-test\/#What_Is_the_ITB-ASET_and_what_is_the_Campus-Test\" >What Is the ITB-ASET, and what is the Campus-Test?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/edu-link.de\/de\/itb-aset-vs-leuphana-study-skills-test\/#How_does_the_ITB-ASET_differ_from_the_Study_Skills_test\" >How does the ITB-ASET differ from the Study Skills test?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/edu-link.de\/de\/itb-aset-vs-leuphana-study-skills-test\/#Who_should_take_the_ITB-ASET_test\" >Who should take the ITB-ASET test?<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-white-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-806804a9f876fa1909ec326aaa060bd5\" style=\"border-radius:40px;background-color:#2e5077\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Is_the_ITB-ASET_and_what_is_the_Campus-Test\"><\/span>What Is the ITB-ASET, and what is the Campus-Test?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-tertiary-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:14px\">The ITB-ASET (Aptitude and Skills for Engineering and Technology) is a standardised online academic aptitude test developed by ITB Consulting GmbH in Bonn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-tertiary-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:14px\">You can take the test at authorised centres around the world or online in a proctored format. Leuphana accepts the ITB-ASET as a direct alternative to the in-person study skills test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-tertiary-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:14px\">Importantly, the on-campus test was also developed by ITB. As a result, both test formats share a similar structure and assess comparable skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-white-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-ed7fd1e0f8165264055513512cc13fab\" style=\"border-radius:40px;background-color:#2e5077\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_does_the_ITB-ASET_differ_from_the_Study_Skills_test\"><\/span>How does the ITB-ASET differ from the Study Skills test?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-tertiary-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:14px\">The ITB-ASET covers: Quantitative Problem Solving (mathematical reasoning), Linguistic Systems (similar to &#8218;Recognising Structures&#8216; in the campus test), and Diagrams and Tables (equivalent to &#8218;Analysing Interrelationships&#8216;). The main difference: the concentration section (&#8218;Careful and Focused Working&#8216;) is not part of the ITB-ASET. Instead, Quantitative Problem Solving is prominent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-tertiary-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:14px\"><em>Practical implication: If you&#8217;re preparing for the ITB-ASET, focus especially on the quantitative reasoning section. If you&#8217;re on the fence between campus and online, note that strong concentration skills favour the campus test; strong maths skills favour the ITB-ASET.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-white-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-f3b0753ac8d5ad8c3eab8e214fd4744d\" style=\"border-radius:40px;background-color:#2e5077\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_should_take_the_ITB-ASET_test\"><\/span>Who should take the ITB-ASET test?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-tertiary-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:14px\">The ITB-ASET is mainly designed for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li style=\"font-size:14px\">applicants who are abroad during the selection period<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li style=\"font-size:14px\">applicants who cannot easily travel to L\u00fcneburg<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-tertiary-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:14px\">Keep in mind that the ITB-ASET involves an additional testing fee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-tertiary-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:14px\">Our preparation books are available on amazon for both test formats.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Planning to study at Leuphana?
