The required knowledge level corresponds to the official Italian curriculum of High School (Scientific High School).

The exam takes place online through a dedicated platform. The time assigned for completing the test is 90 minutes. Instructinos for accessing the platform will be published on the Student Portal.

Exam Outcome

The test result is determined by assigning the following scores:

  • Correct answer: +1
  • Wrong or no answer: 0

Additional Learning Requirements (OFA)

The assignment of OFA will occur if the score of the exam is considered insufficient, less than 12/20

The OFA in basic Mathematics must be fulfilled within the first year by passing an assessment test or the first midterm or the Mathematics Institution exam.

Accepted Alternative Tests

Also accepted any CISIA admission test containing a “Basic Mathematics” or “Mathematics” module with 20 questions, such as TOLC-S (Science), TOLC-B (Biology), or TOLC-I (Engineering), taken after January 1, 2025, including in TOLC@home format. To avoid OFA students must have answered at least 12 out of 20 questions correctly in the math section. The Academic Committee may accept other entrance tests taken at Roma Tre or other universities.
