Overview
- Roughly 53,000–55,000 candidates took part, about 87% of those in the preparatory semester, competing for around 19,000 public places.
- The synchronized session covered chemistry, physics and biology, each with 31 questions in 45 minutes using +1/0/−0.1 scoring and an 18/30 pass threshold.
- Images of test materials spread on social media, and the university ministry and rectors’ conference said ateneis will identify offenders and may annul affected exams.
- Participation was higher in several northern universities than in Rome and Naples, as student unions protested a selection system they say preserves inequality and adds costs.
- First-session results will be posted on Universitaly by 3 December, candidates will have 48 hours to accept or renounce scores, and the second session is scheduled for 10 December.
