Purpose of the entry test
Not only selection, but above all the identification of talents and an assessment of compatibility between the vision of Collegio and that of the family.
What does the entry test involve?
The candidate takes the test with the assistance of the Admission Office and of teachers. A short break is planned.
Candidates will be asked to take tests regarding three areas: logical-mathematical, Italian linguistics, English linguistics. The test will be calibrated to last approximately one and a half hours. There will be a short break between one area and another and an interval halfway through the meeting activities. The duration of this test is two hours approximately.
If the candidate is applying to be placed in pre-existing classes (from second to fourth year), the duration of the test extends since an assessment of other curriculum-specific subjects is required.
What skills are required
For first-year classes:
- In the Italian language area and in the logical–mathematical area, the test assesses the skills the candidate is expected to have achieved by the end of the second year of middle school.
- In the English language area, the test assesses reading, speaking, writing, and listening skills. The required level is A2/B1, according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages: https://europass.europa.eu/en/common-european-framework-reference-language-skills
For intermediate classes:
- In the Italian language area and in the logical–mathematical area, the test assesses the skills the candidate is expected to have acquired based on the curriculum of the class they are currently attending.
- In the English language area, the test assesses reading, speaking, writing, and listening skills corresponding to the language level of the class for which admission is requested.
- Tests related to the specific subjects of the curriculum in which the candidate intends to enroll.

The presence of both parents and the candidate is required; they will meet with the Principal and with the Head of Admissions. The tests will be visible during the interview and cannot be duplicated or forwarded to the family. No telephone information will be given.
What can be done if you fail the tests?
Candidates who have received an insufficient assessment in one or more disciplines will be able to repeat each individual test only once at a time interval to be agreed with the Admission Office with which the learning objectives will be agreed.
A maximum of two subjects can be repeated
