You might notice "Logical Reasoning" and "General Knowledge" are not given dedicated weekly lectures in the curriculum. This is a deliberate, data-driven choice based on recent MUR format changes which drastically shifted the focus towards hard sciences.
Logic skills cannot be "crammed". Instead, 5-10 logic questions are integrated into every single weekly quiz and mock. This micro-dosing builds subconscious pattern recognition over 6 months without wasting core lecture time.
GK constitutes a tiny fraction of points. Rather than wasting live hours on trivia, students receive our highly condensed PDF GK Compendium and practice via Sciencehub daily for 10 minutes.
Attending live classes is merely 30% of the work. To guarantee admission, students are strictly monitored against the following weekly targets via the Sciencehub dashboard. Consistently falling behind triggers an academic intervention from our tutors.
Complete a minimum threshold of correctly answered questions strictly related to the current week's topic to build muscle memory.
A 30-minute, 20-question randomized mock exam integrating past topics to enforce spaced repetition and prevent knowledge decay.
Manually entering missed questions into a tracker. Identify if the error was due to: Lack of knowledge, Misreading, or Calculation error.
At the end of every month, the entire cohort undergoes a heavily proctored, 100-minute full mock simulating exact MUR conditions.
Diagnostic Mock. Tests base retention.
Target: 40-45
Core Systems. Org Chem & Metabolism.
Target: 50-55
Integration. Genetics & Thermodynamics.
Target: 60-65
Full Readiness. Pre-Battle baseline.

The absolute transition from learning to pure execution. Theoretical lectures cease entirely. We shift exclusively to Daily High-Pressure Simulations. This 3-week bootcamp is designed to forge extreme cognitive stamina and flawlessly execute the strategies learned in Phases 1-4.
3 Full Mocks/week. Focus on sitting perfectly still for 100 minutes without losing concentration. Deep peer review of incorrect logic to fix systemic errors.
4 Full Mocks/week. Time limits are artificially reduced to 85 minutes to force rapid decision making, triage, and elimination of perfectionism.
Daily Mocks executed at exactly 15:00 CET (real IMAT time) to align circadian rhythms. Final mindset adjustments and confidence building. No studying the day before.
The IMAT is a grueling 100-minute sprint. Fatigue, panic, and anxiety ruin more scores than a lack of knowledge. Our curriculum includes dedicated strategies to forge an unbreakable mindset.
Perfectionism is lethal. We train students to instantly identify "time-trap" questions designed by examiners to steal your time. You will learn to confidently skip a 3-minute physics question within 15 seconds to secure three 1-minute biology questions instead.
In the final month, we mandate that all simulated mocks are taken at the exact hour of your real exam (typically afternoon). This physically aligns your brain's peak cognitive performance and glucose utilization window with the test time.
By cutting your mock exam time down to 85 minutes during Week 2 of the Battle Phase, we force you to operate under extreme pressure. When you finally sit for the real 100-minute exam, it will feel comparatively slow, spacious, and completely manageable. Panic is eliminated through exposure therapy.

All times are indicated in Central European Time (CET). The table below illustrates the standard weekly rhythm for the 6-Month, 4-Month, and 2-Month cohort classes. (PRO and ULTRA schedules are dynamically arranged).
Can't make a live session due to time zone differences? Every session is recorded in HD and permanently added to your dashboard for 24/7 review until exam day.
If you purchase the PRO or ULTRA 1-on-1 add-on, your private sessions are scheduled dynamically outside of these fixed group hours based entirely on your personal availability.
Best for students who desire a structured cohort learning experience. Perfect for those wanting specific schedules adapted to international time zones, mixing large group motivation with expert lectures.
Best for prioritizing routine and affordability. The shared-cost economics drastically reduce expenses while securing you 1-on-2 or 1-on-3 highly targeted feedback and peer metacognition.
Targeting Milan, Bologna, or Sapienza? Radically reduce stress. Total customization. All academic gaps and Italian bureaucratic variables (Visa, DoV) are handled by our concierge.
An elite medical education does not require a crippling financial investment. Italy provides world-class, globally recognized degrees entirely in English, at a fraction of the cost of US, UK, or Australian alternatives.
Estimated Average Annual Tuition (International Students)
We believe in rewarding dedication and supporting talent. Our Meditaliano Ultra plan includes several opportunities for fee reductions and scholarships.

Notice the massive swings in scores for universities like Bari (from 31.2 to 65.8, back to 49.3). This is the "Biennial Fluctuation." When a university has a very low cutoff one year, it attracts a surge of applicants the next year, drastically raising its cutoff. Therefore, looking at a single year is highly dangerous. You must analyze the 3-year projection models (see next page).
We have rigorously analyzed admission data from the past three years to project the 2026 minimum scores. Accounting for typical fluctuations in exam difficulty and applicant volume, we anticipate the actual cutoffs will fall within a ±3% range of our calculated baseline models. (EU baseline scores include a systematic +7.5 adjustment to accurately reflect rising EU-specific competitiveness).

Non-EU candidates have only ONE binding choice. You cannot change this. If your mock scores are borderline (50-65 points), do not gamble on hyper-competitive hubs like Milan or Bologna. A degree from Messina is worth exactly the same as one from Milan across the entire EU.
Based on applicant behavior trends and seat quotas, we project several excellent universities to have dropping or highly accessible cutoffs next year. Target these to practically guarantee a seat:
Tor Vergata, Parma, Campania, Cagliari, and Messina.
Passing the IMAT is only half the battle. Italian bureaucracy is notoriously unforgiving. Missing a single deadline or holding an incorrect document can disqualify you from taking the exam entirely, regardless of how much you studied.
Register on Universitaly.it. Non-EU students must select exactly ONE binding university. This choice is sent to the Italian embassy in your country and cannot be altered.
You must prove your high school diploma is equivalent to the Italian standard (12 years of schooling). Obtain a DoV (Declaration of Value) from the embassy OR a CIMEA Statement online.
Separate from pre-enrollment. Log into Universitaly during the specific 2-3 week window to register for the actual test, select your global test center (e.g., Dubai, New York, Tokyo), and pay the exam fee (~€130).
Non-EU students apply for a Type D Study Visa. After scores are published in October, admitted students have a strict 4-day window to formally enroll online. If you miss this window, your seat is given to the next person.
Italian ministries can be unpredictable. If the MUR changes the exam structure, syllabus, or scoring logic, Meditaliano immediately mobilizes its academic team to update all video modules, study materials, and mock exams to match the new standard. All enrolled students will receive these critical updates delivered to their dashboard at absolutely no additional cost. We guarantee you are always studying the correct material.
We utilize Stripe and PayPal to process payments worldwide with bank-level security. We accept all major credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Amex), PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and direct SEPA bank transfers. Furthermore, students from lower-income nations automatically have a Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) discount applied.
Because our primary payment gateways are international, automated checkout using Italian government cards is not natively supported on our checkout page. However, we DO accept them! Simply contact our WhatsApp support team, and we will manually create a specific payment link or voucher code to process your government bonus.
Meditaliano is fundamentally different from traditional academies. We are a 100% digital, constantly updated ecosystem. Because the IMAT changes rapidly, static physical books become outdated instantly. Therefore, there are no physical books to "exclude" from your package. All of our highly advanced, interactive study materials are integrated online, and our pricing reflects access to the digital platform, not the shipping of paper.
Upgrading is seamless and risk-free! If you purchase the Premium plan and later decide you want to include advanced analytics and tutoring in the Super, Pro, or Ultra plans, the amount you previously paid is fully credited and deducted from the higher tier's price. You pay exactly the difference.
Because we are a 100% digital academy, there is zero waiting time for international shipping. The very second your payment is confirmed, the Science Hub, all VOD video lessons, the Q-Bank, and AI simulators are instantly unlocked on your personalized dashboard, 24/7/365. You can start studying within 60 seconds of enrollment.
