This year too, the eighth grade exams will take place between the end of lessons and June 30th; the dates are decided by the individual institutes. Like last year, having taken the Invalsi tests is a requirement for admission to the exam.

The exam consists of three written tests (Italian, mathematics, languages) and an interview. The final mark is in tenths and is determined by the mediation between the admission mark and the average of the marks attributed to the written tests and the interview.
