Calendars change and universities have their own rules: before registering always check the source and the call of your degree. We do not refresh it on a schedule: if you find a date that differs from the source, write to us.

Questions about admission tests
When is the best time to take the TOLC?
The TOLC can be taken from February to November and the same type of TOLC only once per calendar month, so put the first attempt well ahead of the deadline of your degree, leaving room for a second. The deadline that matters is your university’s.
Is a test result valid for several universities?
For the TOLC, CISIA states that its validity is accepted by all locations at least for the year in which it was taken; which tests and which formats each university accepts is set in its call. For Bocconi, LUISS and the other university tests, that university’s rules apply.
Why do some rows say «to be verified»?
Because we prefer not to write a date we did not read on the official page. A wrong date costs more than an empty row: go to the source listed, where the date in force is published.
Not sure which test to take or how to prepare?
