humanitas university

the problem with this is that if you compare them, they are not the same: the ''mathematical thinking'' questions are very different, so are the ''procedural thinking'' questions, and lets not talk about the visual ones... its like they are very long lost children born from different fathers, and to be prepared well i think they should be more like twins lmao
don't even get me started on the academic literacy ones: yes, doing the ucat ones might help a bit, but the logic behind the questions is VERY different from the humat's ones.
I guess the ''preparation week'', which is expensive AF, might help in this sense, but its a bit unfair for the ones that cannot afford to pay 600 euros for a 30 hours ONLINE course, that still doesn't ensure you to succeed.
well, as we say in Italy, ''chi vivrà, vedrà''... unless somebody has a miracle book, or some good advice, which would be a miracle in itself

I do wish they had more prep as well. I think the literature part, however, is far easier in the HUMAT. 60 min for 4 parts compared to 11 in 21 min... UFFF. I didn't sign up for the prep week, because 600 Euro is like damn, also since I doubt corona will be over by then, and doing it online seems a little useless. Did you sign up?

I think that it might be 60 min for 5 texts, with 6 paragraphs and 700 words each (if i remember correctly)! I did sign up for it (I payed my parents back with the money i made babysitting and tutoring for countless hours in the last 3 months), but still, it was a biiiiig burden, especially coming from a low-income family. However, I don't feel like taking any chances here lol
I don't know what an IB is, but i'm guessing it's like an international high school diploma? enlighten me please
I was born and raised near Milan, and I graduated from what is known here as ''liceo classico'', where i was taught basic common subjects like chemistry, biology, maths, english, history, philosophy, art, physics, literature ecc, in addition to 9 hours each week of ancient greek and latin. I wouldn't know how to compare it to another country's diploma, because i feel like Italy has its own peculiar ways of defining school paths.
(about the corona situation: the prep week this year is going to be online regardless of the developments of the pandemic here. it's very unfortunate. and i'm 90% positive the situation won't be very different in february)
