Studienkolleg der Hochschule Konstanz (HTWG)
For the W-Kurs at Studienkolleg der Hochschule Konstanz (HTWG), the entrance test (Aufnahmeprüfung) is: German and Mathematics and Business studies. Here is what the official pages say, and what they leave out.
Konstanz prepares for universities of applied sciences in Baden-Württemberg. Dictionaries are not allowed, but you may ask the invigilator about a word in a task.
German · Not published by the Kolleg
Two short writing tasks (for example an interview, a text about statistics, or a report) and a C-Test with 60 gaps, where the second half of every second word is missing. No dictionaries.
Mathematics · Not published by the Kolleg
Fractions, powers and roots, logarithms, equations and inequalities, linear systems and elementary functions. The Kolleg provides a formula sheet; no calculator.
Business studies · Not published by the Kolleg
Business studies test. The Kolleg publishes a sample.

1. Expand (x + 6)². What is the coefficient of x?
Answer: 12
(x + a)² = x² + 2ax + a².
The middle term is 2·a·x = 12x.
2. Expand (2x + 5)(2x + 1), then evaluate at x = 4.
Answer: 117
Evaluate each factor at x, then multiply. Expanding first gives the same result.
(2·4 + 5)·(2·4 + 1) = 13 · 9 = 117.
3. Evaluate: log₅(125)
Answer: 3
logₐ(x) asks: to what power must a be raised to get x?
5³ = 125, so log₅(125) = 3.

No. The Kolleg rules out calculators, so practise mental and written arithmetic.
The Kolleg does not publish this. If it matters for you, ask the Kolleg directly.
You must pass all three subjects with the minimum score. Very high results in all three can admit you straight to the second semester.
