The IMAT Exam and Studying Medicine in Italy
The IMAT (International Medical Admissions Test) is a centralized exam used for entry to English-medium medical programs in Italy. Held annually in September, it consists of Biology, Chemistry, Physics/Mathematics, Logic/Problem Solving, and General Knowledge/Culture sections. 60 questions are given with 100 minutes of total time. Correct answers earn 1.5 points while incorrect answers deduct 0.4 points.
Medical education in Italy lasts six years, with English-medium programs offered in cities like Milan, Rome, Bologna, Pavia, Padova, and Naples. Tuition is remarkably affordable at 150-4,000 EUR per year. However, places are limited, making a high IMAT ranking critical for admission.
TestPrep's IMAT program offers an intensive Biology and Chemistry-focused curriculum as these two sections constitute the bulk of the IMAT score. Our tutors are professionals who studied or taught medicine in Italy and also provide guidance on the Italian university application process. 84% of our students pass the IMAT and gain admission to Italian medical schools.
