Esame di Stato

Assessment Practice

The Esame di Stato, popularly called the maturita, is Italy's state examination marking the end of upper secondary school, typically taken at around age 19. It combines written examinations, including a national test set by the Ministry of Education, with an oral examination before a mixed panel of internal and external examiners, and passing it awards the diploma required for admission to Italian universities.
