What is TEST ARCHED?

TEST ARCHED is Italy's national admission test for Architecture and Civil Engineering-Architecture programmes. Unlike TOLC-I and CEnT-S, it's governed by the Ministry (MUR) through a Decreto Ministeriale — not CISIA's own rules. Your score is valid only at the university where you take the test.

All five sections are equally weighted — there's no dominant section. Unlike TOLC-I and CEnT-S, your score is valid only at the university where you take the test.

Everything you need. Nothing you don't.
