The tracks are divided into three types: two of analysis of the poetic or prose text, three of analysis and production of an argumentative text, two of current issues.
The second test, scheduled for tomorrow, will instead concern one or more disciplines characterizing the course of studies, while for the new professional institutes it will focus on fundamental skills and thematic cores. At classical high school the second test will be a version of Greek, while at scientific high school it will be mathematics.
The interview, which will take place after the written tests, will have an interdisciplinary character and will aim to evaluate the student’s ability to connect the knowledge acquired and his educational, cultural and professional profile. It will start from an initial starting point chosen by the commission and will include the exposition of the PCTO (Paths for Transversal Skills and Orientation) experience carried out during the course of studies.
