Hi guys, i'm an italian girl (I know i'm sorry if my Inglese sucks: S), i live in Italy and study in Turin. In Italy, until 2013, the test to enter medicine has always been in September, but in 2014 the government decided to move it to April 8. The test IMAT ( for the public uni) was made in April too (but it was a different day from the italian test). There are some private universities choosing different dates: the IMAT you speak of who did the test in September 2014 is one who recently opened in Milan,the Humanitas university. By now the government has decided once again to change the mode 'of admission to Medicine (you know, Italy is' the land of toys) and they talk about adopt the French model: a first year free to all, and the selection end of the year on the basis of examinations data and, presumably, another test. We don't know yet if this model will be taken, and if it will be the same 'for the IMAT (I speak for the public uni).
Instead the first date for IMAT in private uni (Cattolica in Rome) is in January 28, 2015.
