TOLC-F · Syllabus

A topic map to audit your gaps.

The TOLC-F sections broken into the topics CISIA publishes, so you can find what you have never covered before you start practising.

By section

What can appear.

Where CISIA publishes a topic list, it is reproduced below. Where it states that a section needs no specific preparation, that is said plainly rather than filled in.

Two notes on using this

Language, and the English section.

The exam is sat in Italian

Topic names are given here in English because this page is in English. The test itself is in Italian, and Neuron Prep's TOLC-F material will be written in Italian.

English proficiency is not in this map

The 30-question English section is scored separately from the core result, with no penalty for a wrong answer, and universities may treat it separately again.
