The exam tests your ability to use Italian in real-life contexts. Focus on learning vocabulary related to common themes such as university life, work, volunteering, travel, and social issues. Furthermore, pay close attention to grammar areas like pronouns (e.g., ci and ne ), combined pronouns, the subjunctive mood ( congiuntivo ), and the passive voice, as these are frequently tested in the "Analisi delle strutture di comunicazione" section.
Keep a log of advanced idiomatic expressions, transition words ( tuttavia , pertanto , inoltre ), and formal letter openings/closings ( Gentile Dottore , In attesa di un Suo riscontro ).

Many candidates find this section the most challenging, as it probes the fine-grained understanding of Italian grammar, syntax, and contextual communication. It typically comprises four exercises covering fill-in-the-blanks (with adjectives, pronouns, verbs), matching expressions to communicative situations, and reordering sentences to form coherent texts.
The reading and grammar sections of June 2014 showed that vocabulary cannot be studied in isolation. The exam tested —words that naturally go together—and prepositions . Misunderstanding how a specific verb connects to an infinitive (e.g., decidere di vs. aiutare a ) was a frequent source of lost points. Time Management is Crucial
