Choose the correct option: Don't worry about the report — I ___ it already.
Solution
Regola. L'avverbio already con un'azione completata di recente, senza un momento preciso indicato, richiede il present perfect (have/has + participio passato), perché collega un'azione passata al momento presente.
Perché qui. 'I ___ it already' comunica che il rapporto è già pronto ORA, senza specificare quando è stato scritto: serve quindi 'have written'.
Perché le altre non vanno: - 'wrote' (past simple): sarebbe corretto solo con un'espressione di tempo definita (es. 'yesterday'), assente qui. - 'am writing' / 'was writing' (forme continuous): indicherebbero un'azione ancora in corso o non finita, mentre il messaggio è che il lavoro è già completato.

Frequently asked questions.
Is the practice test identical to the real TOLC-LP?
It follows the CISIA 2026 structure, checked directly on the official website: 30 questions in 90 minutes across 3 separately timed sections — 10 logic, 10 verbal comprehension and 10 maths — plus 30 English questions in 15 minutes, marked separately. Scoring is +1 for a correct answer, −0.25 for a wrong one and 0 for a blank (there is no penalty in the English section). The questions are original, written in the style of the official syllabus — they are not copied CISIA questions.
What is the TOLC-LP and which degrees is it for?
The TOLC-LP is the CISIA test used for entry to professional degrees (L-P): three-year programmes aimed directly at the world of work, such as building technician or agri-food technician. It is the shortest test in the CISIA family, but its three sections carry equal weight (10 questions each).
Is the TOLC-LP maths difficult?
It is designed as "basic maths": arithmetic, percentages, proportions, reading graphs and first-degree equations, not the advanced topics of a TOLC-I or TOLC-S. With a targeted review of the fundamentals you win back most of the points you lose.
Can I retake the practice test more than once?
Yes, as often as you like. The questions are drawn at random from a bank of verified questions for each area, so every attempt is a different test. If you close the page halfway through, the test resumes where you left off.
What if my score is low?
That is exactly why the practice test exists: at the end you see the breakdown by section and by topic, so you know where to focus your revision. If you would like a hand, the first call with me is a free diagnostic: we look at the results together and build a plan around your real gaps.
Want to raise your score for real?
The practice test shows you where you lose points; in lessons we work exactly there, on the official CISIA questions, with a timed practice test every 3–4 lessons. Start with the free diagnostic call or write to me directly.
