TOLC-I EVALUATION
The result of each TOLC-I, apart from the section English Proficiency Test, is determined by the number of questions answered correctly, incorrectly or unanswered which make up the total score as follows:
- 1 point for each correct answer
- 0 points for each unanswered question
- penalty of 0.25 points for each incorrect answer.
There is no penalty for incorrect answers for the section “Evaluation of the English Language” and the score is determined as follows: 1 point for each correct answer and 0 points for each incorrect answer and unanswered question.
Universities participating in the TOLC-I may transform the total score obtained by each student according to their evaluation system by choosing which sections to consider and indicating their threshold.
To find out about the various thresholds for each participating university to the TOLC-I please consult the calls for entrance or the regulations issued by each university for the pertaining degree course.
Conversion table for TOLC-I score
From February 2018 the TOLC-I structure has changed compared to previous years. The change was deemed necessary by the Scientific Council of CISIA to give the sections of Logic and Verbal Comprehension more importance and greater statistical significance. At the end of TOLC-I there is an English Proficiency Test section with 30 questions.
Pre-2018 TOLC-I structure:
| SECTIONS | NUMBER OF QUESTIONS | TIME ALLOTTED |
| Mathematics | 20 | 60 |
| Logic | 5 | 15 |
| Sciences | 10 | 20 |
| Verbal Comprehension | 5 | 10 |
| TOTAL | 40 | 105 |
Current TOLC-I structure:
| SECTIONS | NUMBER OF QUESTIONS | TIME ALLOTTED |
| Mathematics | 20 | 50 |
| Logic | 10 | 20 |
| Sciences | 10 | 20 |
| Verbal comprehension | 10 | 20 |
| TOTAL | 50 | 110 |
The table below allows you to convert a score obtained in a TOLC-I taken in a year prior to 2018 to a score of the current structure.
