Fonti ufficiali CISIA trovate per il periodo 2025-2026. Per il CEnT-S non risulta un bando ministeriale unico con graduatorie/immatricolazioni centralizzate: graduatorie, ricorsi, immatricolazioni e ulteriori scadenze dipendono dai singoli bandi di ateneo/corso. Le date di apertura e chiusura iscrizioni non sono fissate in un calendario unico nazionale: sono aperte direttamente dalle università sul portale CISIA; la guida ufficiale specifica che non è possibile conoscerne in anticipo l'apertura. La scadenza di iscrizione per ciascuna data dipende dal giorno del test ed è indicata nel calendario CISIA; esempio ufficiale: per un test di giovedì la chiusura è il venerdì precedente alle ore 14:00. Il regolamento prevede inoltre che CISIA possa non erogare una data, tranne l'ultima del macro-periodo, se non si raggiungono almeno 250 iscritti complessivi; in tal caso gli iscritti sono spostati a una data successiva del medesimo macro-periodo. Eventuali date di recupero per problemi tecnici sono possibili solo se previste dalla commissione e con posti disponibili, ma non hanno una data nazionale prefissata.

Review from App Store
I subscribed to this app for almost a year — it was one of the main tools that helped me pass the TOLC-med and get into my first choice. The question database is 10x larger than the official one.
Review from Google Play
Best app there is. Even students without much background can reach impressive results. 5 stars is not enough. Thank you so much — I passed the test! ❤️
Review from App Store
I used this alongside other apps, some paid. This one is the best: it lets you review the theory and linked quizzes. Excellent work! Fair price — honestly, even a bit cheap for what it delivers.
Review from App Store
The app works great on every device — phone, tablet and computer. After 1 month on the free plan I bought the premium (manual + simulator). Best money I ever spent. The study feels much clearer here than in any textbook.
Review from App Store
Perfect app in every aspect after the latest updates. Huge database with questions that genuinely prepare you for the test. Detailed explanations for almost every question. Customer support is top-notch.
Review from Google Play
I used the subscription during my TOLC-med preparation. Great organisation, rich question bank, fair price — especially compared to printed preparation manuals. The mnemonic aids are unique.
Review from App Store
I wish I had found this app sooner! I started hearing about it in Telegram groups. My mock scores went up significantly in just two months. I highly recommend it 🥇
Review from App Store
I used the iPhone app all summer — studying on the go. Well organised by category, you can track progress per subject separately. It made the difference for me in passing the test.
Review from App Store
Complete app, question difficulty matches the real test. Quizzes come with theoretical explanations, and the team is always available for any doubt.
Review from Google Play
Each subject is split into dedicated sections with loads of exercises. Perfect for quick revision on the go when you don't have your books. Highly recommended for anyone with limited time.
