What is TE.L.E.MA.CO?

TE.L.E.MA.CO (Test of Logic and Mathematics and Verbal Comprehension) is the test of initial knowledge that every student must take before starting their university course.

Test structure

Common core and M/T extension

The TE.L.E.MA.CO. test. is divided into two tests:

a core common to all Study Courses (CdS), aimed at ascertaining the basic skills of comprehension of texts in Italian (literacy), and logical reasoning skills (numeracy); a differentiated section, named extension, according to the chosen CdS, aimed at ascertaining
the basic skills of mathematics and logic and their application to the experimental sciences (extension-M) and the ability to carry out advanced analysis of different text types (extension-T)

At the end of the two TE.L.E.MA.CO. is the English test.

Students with disabilities and students with a specific learning disorder can choose whether to take the English test after the two TE.L.E.MA.CO tests (common core and extension) or alternatively on one of the dates scheduled for students who do not have to take the TE.L.E.MA.CO test.

WARNING! On the occasion of the English language assessment test (scheduled on several dates in December) students must send a request to the Services for the Inclusion of Students with Disabilities and DSA Sector for additional time and/or the support of a tutor-reader only if they have not made a request on the pre-registration form.

Students with disabilities and students with specific learning disorders, if requested, will be able to take advantage of additional adaptations, i.e. the non-scientific calculator and the assistance of a tutor reader and/or writer. Students are invited to indicate any special needs in the appropriate section of the pre-registration form; requests will be examined by the Services for the Inclusion of Students with Disabilities and DSA in collaboration with the TE.L.E.MA.CO.

Organising Committee.

Health certification

To be eligible for the adaptations, students must enter their certification online, as indicated in the pre-registration form. The Sector will then notify the TE.L.E.MA.CO. organisers of the list of students entitled to the adjustments. 

The certification must be produced well in advance of the date of the check in order to allow the necessary checks to be carried out and to proceed with the allocation of the adjustments requested. 

Preparation for the test

We recommend that you try out the test simulation on AulaWeb and report any difficulties in reading the texts or using the computer medium. The TE.L.E.MA.CO. organisers will do their utmost to eliminate such difficulties.
