TOLC-E structure and syllabus

TOLC-E is required by some universities for admission to degree courses in Economics and other statistical and social science fields.

Before booking a TOLC-E, check the type of test required on the admission notice for your university degree course.

You can find on your university website all the detailed information about the admission procedure and deadlines.

TOLC-E Structure

The test consists in 36 questions, divided into 3 sections:

• Logic
• Reading comprehension
• Mathematics.

At the end of the test, you find a 30-question section assessing your English language proficiency.

Each section must be completed within a set time limit: once the time is up, you must proceed to the next section. If you complete the section before the time runs out, you can move on to the next one. Please consider that in this case you will not be able to use the remaining time to complete other sections of the test and that you will not be able to go back to the previous section.

The TOLC-E score, except for the English language proficiency section, is based on the number of correct, unanswered, and incorrect responses.

• 1 point for each correct answer,
• 0 points for each unanswered question
• a penalty of 0.25 points for each incorrect answer.

There is no penalty for incorrect answers in the English language proficiency section: the score is determined by 1 point for correct answers and 0 points for incorrect answers or unanswered questions.
