CEnT-S Question Bank: Practice Questions by Topic

"Question bank" shouldn't be read as shorthand for a pile of hundreds or thousands of unstructured questions.

A useful CEnT-S question bank should, as far as possible, be organised by exam section, syllabus topic, and — where it applies — question type, so students can clearly see their own weak points. That rests on a few core ideas: topic-based practice, English exam terminology, targeted repetition, error analysis, and a real connection between question practice and mock-exam performance.

A full mock exam answers one question:

"How am I performing overall?"

Topic-based practice answers a different one:

"Exactly where am I struggling?"

For example:

• A weak Chemistry result might come from organic nomenclature, stoichiometric calculation, or another syllabus topic supported by the research document.
• A weak Mathematics result might come from probability, combinatorics, statistics, algebra, or another syllabus area.

These examples don't claim that any one topic is officially tested more often than another.

Topic-based practice is most valuable inside this loop:

CEnT-S's five sections measure different skills, so each one calls for its own practice approach.

Simply checking the correct option doesn't tell you why you made the mistake. The categories below offer a useful framework for identifying the source of an error.

CEnT-S is a brand-new exam, introduced into the Italian higher-education system in November 2025. Because of that, a large, multi-year, downloadable or published archive of "CEnT-S past papers" does not yet physically exist.

The absence of past papers doesn't mean preparing in the dark. It helps to separate two different kinds of practice:

These two types of practice complement each other. CEnT-S Academy does not claim to provide access to official past exam questions.

Old English TOLC-I, TOLC-E or TOLC-F materials can offer some partial value for practising subject knowledge.

However, the research document warns against relying on them alone, because CEnT-S has its own new unified structure, its own section distribution, its own timing mechanics, and a different, integrated exam format.

According to the research document, CISIA provides CEnT-S simulations through the official Student Area, under the "Simulazioni dei test" tab, offering an experience close to the Practice and Training (PAT) environment.

Their role is to:

• Build familiarity with the exam interface
• Build familiarity with section timing
• Help you understand the exam flow
• Let you experience the CEnT-S-style question format

This page does not reproduce simulation questions.

A question bank and a full mock exam solve different problems.

This is an editorial study framework, not an official CISIA method.

See the CEnT-S Study Guide for a step-by-step preparation plan.

CEnT-S is conducted in English, but it is not itself an English-proficiency section.

Candidates therefore need to understand:

• Mathematical terminology
• Scientific terminology
• The language used in the Reasoning section
• The wording of question stems

A question bank should expose students to the language in which the academic content is actually tested.

This doesn't turn CEnT-S question practice into IELTS preparation.

The CEnT-S Academy platform provides question sets for every sub-topic across the exam's five sections. Each question comes with a worked explanation, not just the correct answer.

Weak points are logged automatically and resurface in later question sets. Topic practice is connected to full-length mock exams, and after every mock and practice set, your performance is broken down by section and by topic.
