A second disciplinary part will then be made up of questions on physics, chemistry, biology and mathematics. Always present the closed number. In 2021, 150 places were available at the University of Udine for a total of 430 candidates. From 2023, on the other hand, it changes drastically. This was announced by the Minister of University and Research, Cristina Messa to the Corriere della Sera.

And the test can be repeated up to four times in order to then use the best score “.
How it works in 2022
In September 2022 the entrance test to the Faculty of Medicine: “will still be very similar to previous years – explained the minister Cristina Messa – It will be face-to-face and on paper, but with some adjustments. The part of the questions of general knowledge will be reduced, those of logical reasoning remain and then the rest will be disciplinary. From next May the universities will supply online materials for the exercises that can be downloaded free of charge by students to prepare “. Also, in August they are scheduled for aspiring students of the “real preparation courses, always online and free, edited by universities. Anyone who wants can also do a self-assessment testthe result of which will remain only available to the student himself“.

The places will be assigned according to the availability of the universities and the preferences indicated by the candidates, as is already the case“.
