At 1 pm on Tuesday, September 6, the Fiera di Padova (via Niccolò Tommaseo 59) hosts the entrance test delivered in Italian for the Medicine and Surgery, and the Dentistry and Dental Prostheticssingle-cycle master's degree courses.

Candidates have 100 minutes to complete 60 multiple-choice questions for which they may only select one out of five options by discarding incorrect, arbitrary or less probable answers. Entrance tests hold a maximum value of 90 points toward a candidate’s final score. The test includes topics comprised of: reading skills and general knowledge (4 questions); logical reasoning and problem-solving (5 questions); biology (23 questions); chemistry (15 questions); physics and mathematics (13 questions). Concerning exams offered in previous years, this version includes 15% of the testing to cover logical reasoning, numerical reasoning and the humanities. The remaining percentage of the test is dedicated to disciplinary subjects such as biology, chemistry, physics and mathematics. A candidate’s total score is formulated by combining 1.5 (+1.5) points for each correct answer, subtracting 0.4 (-0.4) points for each wrong answer, and 0 points for each question not answered.
