Annex 1. TOLC and SAT tests
A1.1 - ENGLISH TOLC-I (also in the TOLC@HOME mode)
The ENGLISH TOLC-I is an assessment test designed to determine preparation for studies; it is delivered on
the computerised platform managed by the Consorzio Interuniversitario Sistemi Integrati per l'Accesso (CISIA).
It consists of individual tests, which differ from one student to another, consisting of questions selected
automatically and randomly from the CISIA ENGLISH TOLC-I database by means of software; all the ENGLISH
TOLC-I tests generated have a similar or at least comparable level of difficulty. The CISIA ENGLISH TOLC-I
database containing the questions used for the test is protected and validated by national scientific committees
set up by CISIA.

On the [Link] website, you may find more information on the test organisation.
For further information please see:
[Link]

The ENGLISH TOLC-I in TOLC@HOME mode allows the test to be taken regularly at the students' homes and
is identical to the ENGLISH TOLC-I.
The ENGLISH TOLC-I in TOLC@HOME mode is taken on the dates and sessions listed on the website
[Link]

A1.2 – Registration methods to the ENGLISH TOLC-I (also in the TOLC@HOME mode)
You can take the ENGLISH TOLC-I (also in TOLC@HOME mode) if you are enrolled in the fourth or fifth year
of upper secondary school or have obtained the relevant diploma.
Registration for the ENGLISH TOLC-I (also in TOLC@HOME mode) takes place online on the CISIA portal at
[Link] and requires a € 35.00 fee.
Please note: during the registration phase, it is necessary to pay attention to entering the correct tax code; the
tax code entered on Infostud and on the CISIA website must match for the acquisition of the test score.

A1.3 – Structure and assessment of the test

The ENGLISH TOLC-I (also in TOLC@HOME mode) consists of 50 questions divided into 4 sections:
Mathematics, Logic, Sciences, Reading Comprehension.

SECTIONS NUMBER OF QUESTIONS TIME AVAILABLE

MATHEMATICS 20 QUESTIONS 50 MINUTES

LOGIC 10 QUESTIONS 20 MINUTES

SCIENCES 10 QUESTIONS 20 MINUTES

READING COMPREHENSION 10 QUESTIONS 20 MINUTES

TOTAL 50 QUESTIONS 110 MINUTES

A1.4 – Results of the ENGLISH TOLC-I (also in the TOLC@HOME mode)

The result of each ENGLISH TOLC-I (also in TOLC@HOME mode), with regard to the sections Mathematics,
Logic, Science and Reading Comprehension is determined by the number of correct, wrong and ungiven
answers, resulting in an overall score, derived from

Bonus/malus Criterium (Mathematics, Logic and Reading Comprehension)

+1 point Correct answer

0 points Ungiven answer

12
–0.25 points Wrong answer

The result obtained in the in-person ENGLISH TOLC-I is available immediately after the end of the test, on the
same computer terminal assigned for the test; it can be viewed and downloaded in the "test results" section of
the CISIA website, by accessing your "test reserved area" with the credentials you used to register on the portal.

The score obtained in TOLC@HOME mode, immediately viewable on the screen at the end of the test, will be
recognised as official and made available, subject to verification of non-compliance of test performance in
accordance with the CISIA "TOLC Participants" regulations, within 48 hours from the day after the test date.
Candidates who have taken the test correctly, following the rules and behaviour indicated in the regulations, will
have their TOLC@HOME result recognised/validated and will be able to access the resulting certificate within
48 hours from the day after the test was taken.

The TOLC (also in the TOLC@HOME mode) may be repeated several times in order to obtain a result above
the threshold required or to avoid the assignment of Further Required Courses (OFAs), but no more than once
a month.

A1.5 - SAT General test

The Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT) General Test (hereafter SAT) is a test used in admission procedures at
colleges and universities worldwide. Administered in English, the SAT includes a Reading Test, a Writing and
Language Test, and a Math Test. It is administered by the College Board: further information such as the test
schedule, required payments, test locations, and deadlines can be found on the College Board website:
[Link] The distribution of the number of questions and the time available for
each section are shown in the table below.

Test Number of questions/activities Time available

Reading 52 65 minutes

Writing and language 44 35 minutes

Math test – no calculator 20 25 minutes

Math test – calculator 38 55 minutes

Total 154 180 minutes (3 hours)

After taking the test, you will obtain a score (SAT Total Score) that summarises the results of the test sections.
The score is reported on a scale from 400 to 1600 and combines the Evidence-Based Reading and Writing
score and the Math score (each on a 200-800 scale). The score report provides further information based on
additional sub-scores.
This score is necessary for the admission procedure and determines whether or not you will be given Further
Required Courses in accordance with the indications in section 9.
If you take the SAT more than once after January 1, 2023, the best score obtained among those you have asked
the College Board to send to Sapienza University of Rome by October 30, 2025, will be considered.

You will have to send, through the College Board, the SAT Scores to Sapienza University of Rome via the Higher
Education Institution Code below:

Higher Ed. Institution code Name of the institution

9038 Sapienza University of Rome

SAT Scores can be submitted directly via the College Board website
[Link]
SAT scores must be received by the university by October 30, 2025.

We therefore recommend that you carefully check the SAT Score submission times on the College
Board website [Link]

A1.6 - Methodological note and concordance table between SAT and ENGLISH TOLC-I

𝑇ENGLISH TOLC-I equal to 0

• max
𝑇ENGLISH TOLC-I equal to the maximum score obtainable with the ENGLISH TOLC-I, i.e. 50

• 𝑇ENGLISH TOLC-I equal to the score obtained by the candidate through the ENGLISH TOLC-I

the unified score is calculated as follows:

min
0 if𝑇ENGLISH TOLC-I ≤ 𝑇ENGLISH TOLC-I
𝑇={ max min
(𝑇ENGLISH TOLC-I − 𝑇ENGLISH TOLC-I )
𝑇ENGLISH TOLC-I × otherwise.
100

Considering

• min
𝑇SAT equal to 600

• max
𝑇SAT equal to the maximum score obtainable with the SAT, i.e. 1600,

• 𝑇SAT equal to the score obtained by the candidate through the SAT,

• the unified score is calculated as follows:

min
0 if 𝑇SAT ≤ 𝑇SAT
𝑇={ max min
(𝑇SAT − 𝑇SAT )
𝑇SAT × otherwise.
100

If you have a diagnosis of SpLD, pursuant to Law No 170/2010 and Ministerial Decree No 5669/2011, and you

In this case, you are allowed to:

- extra time equal to 30% more than that defined for the TOLC;
- a basic non-scientific calculator depending on the certification submitted

If you indicate Sapienza University of Rome as the venue at which you intend to carry out the TOLC, you will

document upload form provided by CISIA, which will forward the documentation to Sapienza University of
Rome.

Applications must be received by the TOLC enrolment deadline and must be accompanied by appropriate
SpLD certification issued by NHS facilities or by specialists and facilities accredited by the same. You will be
able to check the allocation of aids within the TOLC delivery platform.

If the attached documents do not specify the accreditation of the facilities or specialists that issued the
certification, a note must be added with the data confirming this accreditation.
The SpLD certification must be articulate and clear, with reference to nosographic codes and the explicit
wording of the Specific Learning Difficulty (in reading and/or writing and/or calculation).
The diagnosis must have been issued no more than three years previously if made for minors.

A3.2 – Requesting SpLDs aids for SAT

If you have a diagnosis of SpLD, you are entitled to use specific compensatory aids and modalities during the
SAT. Some of the aids available are: extended time, extra and extended breaks, and reading and vision aids.
Aids must be approved by the College Board's Services for Students with Disabilities
([Link]
Approval can take several weeks so you should send your request well in advance.

a sworn translation by an official translator or certified as conforming to the original text by the Italian diplomatic
