How to prepare for the EPSO AD7 Data Management and Data Knowledge Competition, including free resources.

A practical strategy for your EPSO exam prep

Preparing for the EPSO Data Management and Data Knowledge LUX competition is a bit like setting up a clean, reliable data pipeline: if you get the right inputs, sequence and checks in place, your output (exam score) improves dramatically.

This article walks you through the main components of your preparation – from free resources and strategy basics to complete prep packages, live workshops, webinars and personal coaching. You’ll see how each element fits together to cover the key tests in this competition: Reasoning Skills, the field-related MCQ, and the EUFTE written exam.

Your job is simple: decide what you already have in place, identify the gaps, and then choose the right combination of elements to build a focused, efficient preparation plan.

Define the foundations of your data prep

Before you start intensive practice for the EPSO Data Management and Data Knowledge LUX competition, make sure your overall exam strategy is solid.

Begin with the article “When preparation meets opportunity”, which sets out the key principles of effective exam preparation and helps you understand what “being prepared” really means in practice.

Then, follow up by watching the Exam Preparation Mastery webinar with András Baneth, the author of the article. 

Finally, make the most of EU Training’s free resources. They help you refine your test-taking methods, strengthen your understanding of the exam format and close any gaps before you move on to full simulation tests:

Core components of your preparation

  1. Your main hub: all-in-one prep packages

The most straightforward option is to start with a discounted Data Management and Data Knowledge EPSO prep package. Remember, there is only one main profile in this competition, no sub-profiles.

Each package gives you every core element you need for this competition:

  • Reasoning skills practice (verbal, numerical, abstract)
  • Field-Related MCQ practice questions focused on Data Management and Data Knowledge
  • EUFTE simulations that match the EPSO written exam format
    • The Pro and Full packages include expert (human) evaluations, so you know exactly what to improve

This will be your main hub: one place where all your training needs are met and in direct alignment with this EPSO competition's requirements.

  1. Your method upgrade: live workshops

If the prep package is your central hub, the live workshops are where you stress-test and refine your methods in real time. Use these online, interactive workshops to:

Get direct interaction, practical tips and live Q&A with an expert trainer.

  1. Your targeted boost: on-demand webinars

These recordings help strengthen specific parts of your preparation on your own schedule. For the EPSO Data Management and Data Knowledge LUX competition, the most relevant are:

  • Pro Tips for Reasoning Skills – focused sessions on how to think, calculate and spot patterns faster and more accurately.
  • EUFTE Insights – how to write a clear, compelling response to the task in the strict time limit, using the document provided by EPSO.

These webinars are ideal if you already have some practice but want expert methods to boost your technique and confidence. You can pause, rewatch and take notes at your own pace.

  1. Your focused improvement: personal coaching

Personal coaching is the element to use as the icing on the cake. Once you know your weaknesses and strengths, our expert coaches can help give you targeted improvement advice for both reasoning skills and the EUFTE. Our expert coaches will help you:

  • Identify exactly where you are losing points during reasoning skills practice
  • Prioritise which skills to work on first
  • Turn feedback into a concrete, personalised action plan

This is the fastest way to turn “I keep making the same mistakes” into “I know what I’m doing and why my score is improving”.​
