Fourth year

In your fourth year? There's the early TOL

The Politecnico opens the TOL to fourth-year students too: the same 65 questions in 100 minutes, at most two attempts, one per session. With at least 75 marks out of 100 your place in Engineering for the year after your diploma is yours, on the Italian-taught programmes (the English-taught ones also require a language certificate). And you go through your final year with a clear head.

Below 75 you lose nothing: you enter the ranking like everyone else and can retake the test in your final year. The early sessions fall between spring and summer: in 2026, 11 March to 31 May and 1 June to 16 July, and the 2027 calendar is usually published between December and January. The groups starting in autumn and January are designed to get you there with 17 weeks of work behind you.

Fourth- and final-year students sit in the same group, because the test is the same: what changes is only what you can do with the score. The same goes for the TOLC-I: the Politecnico accepts it with a converted score, and in your fourth year you can sit it almost all year round.

Why choose us

The energy of a group, the focus on each student

Working in a group builds a critical approach, comparison and strategic analysis: essential skills for tackling the test at your best. Every problem is seen from more than one angle, every mistake becomes a lesson for the whole group, and the pace stays high from the first session to the last.

The small size keeps the attention firmly on each individual: the tutor follows everyone's working, corrects you while you solve and builds your strategy with you. It is this balance that makes the course effective and engaging.

Who teaches

Dedicated tutors

With long experience of preparing students for the specific Engineering tests: they guide you through the preparation and help you build a winning strategy, shaped around your strengths and the areas to reinforce.

Who it's for

Who the Masterclass is for

Politecnico first, options open

You want to sit the TOL and the TOLC-I. Preparing them together costs less time and less money than two separate courses.

The basics are there, the score isn't

You do not need to start from scratch: you need to raise your score. The group works when the level is similar and the pace stays high.

On your own, you stall

You know what you should do and you do not do it. A shared timetable with other people holds better than good intentions.

The method

How the Masterclass works

Small groups, the same group until the test

Dynamic, focused groups that stay the same from the first session to the test. Two live lessons a week of an hour and a half: on site on Tuesdays and Fridays, online on Mondays and Wednesdays, always from 18:30 to 20:00.

Masterclasses built for TOLC-I, TOL and TIL-I

One syllabus covers the three tests: you prepare everything together and choose the best route to the university you want. Maths, physics and verbal comprehension are studied once, and the mock tests train you on the rules of each paper.

Our own teaching materials and mock tests

A pool of more than 1,500 questions, a test platform and teaching materials closely matched to the real test. Developed in-house and constantly updated, so you always practise in the same conditions as on the day.

Guided independent work

Between lessons, exercises and checks to consolidate what you have learnt and strengthen your strategy and time management. Personal feedback keeps you working on your weak points, session after session, with progress visible to parents on Up to Connect.

Ammissione a Economics and Finance Bocconi superata

Con mio figlio abbiamo scelto Up To Ten per preparare l’esame di ammissione in "International Economics and Finance" per la laurea triennale in Bocconi alla fine della quarta superiore e l’esame è stato superato con successo. In particolare, desidero ringraziare Andrea e Anna, che lo hanno seguito con grande competenza, pazienza e professionalità. Non solo hanno colmato in modo efficace le lacune che aveva, ma sono riusciti a individuare gli errori nel suo metodo di studio e a guidarlo verso un approccio più efficace e consapevole. Ciò che abbiamo apprezzato di più è che il lavoro fatto non si è limitato alla preparazione dell’esame, ma ha contribuito a un miglioramento reale e duraturo nel suo modo di studiare. Consiglio Up To Ten a chi cerca un supporto personalizzato, capace di valorizzare gli studenti e di accompagnarli verso i loro obiettivi con metodo e attenzione.

Test d'ingresso Bocconi superato con soddisfazione

Mia figlia Giulia ha seguito il percorso di preparazione al test d'ingresso alla Bocconi con Up to Ten, e siamo rimasti davvero soddisfatti del risultato! L’insegnante dedicato si è dimostrato estremamente competente e attento, capace di fornire spiegazioni precise anche sugli argomenti più complessi. Il grande valore aggiunto è stato l'approccio personalizzato, che ha consentito a Giulia di lavorare sui suoi punti deboli in modo mirato, in un ambiente tranquillo e in presenza, cosa che ha fatto una grande differenza rispetto alle soluzioni puramente online o ai corsi collettivi. Grazie a loro, Giulia è riuscita a superare il test e ad essere ammessa alla Bocconi. Siamo davvero grati e li raccomandiamo a chiunque cerchi un supporto serio e professionale!

Preparazione chimica per test di medicina

Federico è sempre stato di grandissimo supporto, soprattutto in questo ultimo periodo, in cui mi ha dato una mano in chimica, per il test di medicina. In ogni occasione, mi è stato davvero di supporto, soprattutto nei momenti di massimo sconforto, mi ha sempre incitato a non mollare. Oltre alle grandi competenze in materia, mi ha fatto capire che la chimica, alla fine, non è così tanto noiosa! La stessa cosa vale per Arianna, molto competente in matematica e fisica, mi ha sempre trasmesso tanta calma e sicurezza, anche quando continuava a non capire e avevo più bisogno di supporto.

Prices include

  • A dedicated tutor
  • All the teaching materials
  • Access to the test platform
  • The whole pool of exercises and mock tests

After the assessment, the preparation — full or partial on specific modules — starts with the purchase of blocks of hours.

Blocks are counted in hours, not lessons (e.g. 12 hours = 8 sessions of an hour and a half), are valid for 18 months from purchase and are non-refundable. Once the hours are used up, simply buy a new block to carry on with the preparation.

What we do promise

Not the result: that depends on you, on where you start and how hard you work, and no course can guarantee it. We promise what depends on us: a tutor who knows where you lose marks after every mock test, and a course that starts from your level.

The dates that matter

One start only: online from 5 October to 17 February, on site from 6 October to 19 February. It finishes in mid-February, in time for the spring sessions of the TOL and the TOLC-I and for the early TOL; for the Politecnico di Torino TIL-I the dates come out in each year's call.

The three tests

Same topics, three different rulebooks

The TOLC-I is the CISIA test, accepted by the Politecnico di Milano and many other universities. The TOL is the Politecnico di Milano's own test. The TIL-I is the Politecnico di Torino's admission test. They ask for the same subjects — maths, physics and verbal comprehension — with different rules, timing and scoring.

  • 65

    questions on the TOL, in 100 minutes

  • 50

    questions on the TOLC-I, in 110 minutes split by section

  • 30/100

    the minimum score to enter the Politecnico di Milano ranking

At the Politecnico di Milano the TOLC-I counts as an alternative to the TOL: the score is converted into hundredths and must reach at least 30. The Politecnico di Torino TIL-I has a format of its own, with structure and dates published in each year's call.

The course

The programme, lesson by lesson

34 sessions of an hour and a half, from October to February. It starts with the initial assessment, done on your own before session 1, which sets your starting point; from session 26 come the 8 full mock tests, in the real format of the test and timed, marked in class.

FAQ

Questions about the Masterclass

Because you study the same things: maths, physics and verbal comprehension are needed for all three. What changes is the structure, the time and the way marks are counted, and that is what the mock tests are for. With three separate courses you would revise the same topics three times.
The course still works, because the subjects are the same: what changes is the strategy, and in the mock tests we work on it for the test you are sitting. If you only need part of the syllabus, after the initial assessment you can follow just the modules you are missing. If you would rather have a plan built entirely around you, there is one-to-one.
Small by design: big enough for the tutor to follow everyone's working and correct you while you solve, and not one more. The same group stays together from the first lesson to the last, on site and online. If there are not enough students for a group, we offer one-to-one or paired lessons with the same tutor.
This year there is one start only: Monday 5 October for the online group, Tuesday 6 for the on-site one. It is 34 lessons of an hour and a half, two a week, through to mid-February. Write to us to find out how many places are left.
It depends on where you start from. If you have specific gaps to fill, one-to-one is faster, because the plan is entirely yours. If the basics are there and the problem is the score, the group costs less and working alongside others helps. If you are not sure, let's talk before you enrol.
More frequently asked questions (6)
No. Neither the TOL nor the TOLC-I is adaptive, so neither are our mock tests: they are the same as the real papers. What adapts to your level is the work plan between one lesson and the next, not the mock test.
Yes, and it is the right time: an early TOL of 75 or more secures you a place on the Italian-taught courses for the year after your Maturità. The course is the same as for students in their final year, because the test does not change, and so is the start date: 5 October.
It starts with an initial assessment at €75, done on your own before the first lesson. Then you pay in blocks of hours at the group rate: €33 an hour with the 12-hour block, €36 with the 5-hour block, €39 for a single hour. The price includes the tutor, all the teaching materials, the test platform and the whole pool of exercises and mock tests. Blocks are counted in hours, not lessons, are valid for 18 months and are non-refundable.
For most students, yes: the syllabus covers everything the three tests need, from the basics of maths and physics to the 8 mock tests marked in class. The rest is up to you: where you start from and how much you work between lessons, with the exercises and checks the tutor sets you.
It is the Masterclass starting point: a test you take on your own before session 1, covering maths, physics and verbal comprehension. The tutor analyses it before you begin and, from there, builds the preparation that suits you best with you: full, or partial on specific modules. It costs €75.
Yes, partial preparation is possible on specific modules. If the initial assessment shows that part of the syllabus is already solid, you follow only the modules you need and buy only those hours, in blocks. The choice is made together with the tutor, on the assessment results.
