The Year 2 class tests, one per topic.
In Year 2 the blocks almost always come in the same order: systems in September, lines in November, radicals before Christmas, quadratic equations in January, inequalities in spring. There is one test for each, plus the four physics ones on fluids, heat, kinematics and dynamics.
Years 1 to 5 are the five years of Italian high school; each card is a practice class test on one block of that year’s programme.
Test in ItalianThe questions of this simulator are in Italian, as in the real exam.

Questions about this year.
Radicals are the topic that made me crash: where do I start?
With the test on radicals: if you mostly get the domain restrictions wrong the gap is in method, if you get the rules wrong it is in calculation, and the two are fixed in different ways. The breakdown by topic at the end tells you which.
I am at the classical or languages high school: is my programme ahead or behind?
About a year behind in maths: the topics you find here in Year 2 arrive in Year 3 at the classical and languages high schools, with less technique. The tests are still valid, only the year you use them in changes.
How many times can I retake the same test?
As many as you like: each attempt draws 15 questions at random from 25, so retaking it a week later is an honest check and not a memory exercise.

Is the score not enough?
See which topics lost you the most marks, then we look at your results together: the diagnostic is free and I tell you which two or three blocks are worth working on.
