Test prepared by Team GL Ripetizioni · Tutors selected for humanities and languages · updated 13 October 2026

Two original argumentative texts: identify the thesis, arguments and logical connectives, then write your own argumentative text on the same subject. As in the exam: choose 1 prompt out of 2 and 4 questions out of 8, work on paper (real maximum time: 6 hours). When you get stuck, reveal the solution one step at a time. At the end mark how much you had done on your own: the estimated mark is out of 20.

The first paper of the maturità, Italy’s school-leaving exam, is the Italian-language writing test that every candidate sits, with a maximum time of six hours.
