Students enrolled in the PENULTIMATE year of high school can NOT take the test or "keep" their score for admission to the academic year 2025/26.

The admission tests will be held on 25 SEPTEMBER 2024 in presence, in multi-session computer-based mode in the cities of Rome and Milan, based on the scheduling of the shifts made available on the enrolment portal of Università Cattolica.

Places at each venue/session are allocated on a filling basis, taking into consideration only registrations completed according to the criteria expressed in art. 2 of the call.

The general list of convocations, with indication of the venue, date and time of the test of each candidate, will be published from 19 September 2024 on this web page.

If, for organizational reasons, it is necessary to make changes to the calendar or to the methods of administering the test, notice will be given on this page by means of notices.

The entrance exam consists of a written test (computer-based) of 60 multiple-choice questions on the following topics:

• 15  Logic Questions
• 10 biology questions
• 10 chemistry questions
• 10 physics questions
• 10 Math questions
• 5 ethical-religious culture questions

Given the need to administer several exam sessions - in order to preserve par condicio, transparency, impartiality and the smooth running of the selection process - separate exams will be prepared for each session in compliance with the criteria of balancing the various types of questions. Therefore, at the end of the test, each candidate must answer further 6 questions in 6 minutes automatically assigned by the test platform (one for each subject). These so-called "reserve" questions will NOT contribute to the ordinary evaluation of the test unless, after the scheduled sessions have been held, an anomaly emerges in one or more questions such as to determine their cancellation. Only in this case, once the criticality has been ascertained, will Università Cattolica consider neutralising it and replacing the question with the reserve question relating to the same subject, in order to guarantee the objectivity of the assessments and equal treatment of candidates.

A maximum time of 60 minutes is allotted for the test (plus an additional 6 minutes for reserve questions).

A maximum score of 60 points is awarded for the evaluation of the exam according to the following criteria:

• 1 point for each correct answer
• minus 0.25 points for each wrong answer
• 0 points for each answer not given (omitted)
