Two original prompts on a current-affairs topic: choose a title, build an outline and write your own expository and argumentative text. 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.

The correct answer to every question and your weak topics arrive by email for free; with an account you see them straight away here, together with the score, which is already on the page for everyone. The guided step-by-step solution unlocks with your first lesson.
