Self-Assessment Tests & Online Academic Pre-Courses

Our online Pre-MBA Program courses in Accounting, Business Math, Finance Methods and Concepts and Statistics are an excellent resource to help familiarize yourself with the concepts and methods needed to succeed in the first year of the Rotman MBA. They will give you an opportunity to work through some essential quantitative material on your own time and at your own pace. Detailed instructions for accessing the online Pre-MBA Program courses can be found on RWorld.

Self-Assessment Tests LIVE on RWorld Now – Should you take them?

1. If you DO HAVE an academic or professional background in one or more of these areas:
Take the Self-Assessment test(s) in each familiar core academic area to assess your current level of understanding and proficiency. Based on the Pre-Course recommendation, you will be recommended to register in the online Pre-Program course or on-campus Pre-Program course (both versions of the course cover the same material), OR you will you will be recommended not to register for the course.

2. If you DO NOT HAVE an academic or professional background in one or more of these areas:
You do not need to take the corresponding self-assessments test(s).  Instead, you are strongly encouraged to take part in the online Pre-MBA courses to help build the necessary foundation for the MBA program. If your preference is to take the on-campus version of the Pre-Program course in-person, classes will be offered in August, with registration opening in mid-July through RWorld.

Your professors will assume that you are comfortable with the material contained in either the online or in-person courses when classes begin in September. Each course is offered both online and in-person, with both offerings covering the same content.

On-Campus Pre-MBA Program: If you feel comfortable with the online material and/or have done well on the self-assessment tests, we ask that you direct your efforts to all of the non-academic workshops, such as the Self-Development Lab classes, Data Analysis & Business Modeling (Excel) classes, Co-Curricular workshops and various social events.
