A countdown has begun for 527,747 Italian students who will commence their 'Maturità' final high school exams tomorrow. The process officially began yesterday with the seating of examination commissions and the drawing of lots to determine the order of oral examinations. Students have since been informed of their specific oral exam dates via the electronic registry.

The examination commissions, each comprising an external president, two external members, and two internal members from the educational institution, are ready to begin. The first written test, a mandatory essay, is scheduled for tomorrow morning at 8:30 AM. This exam is uniform across all academic disciplines.

Students will face seven essay prompts, categorized into three types: two text analyses (one poetic, one prose), three argumentative texts, and two current events topics. The successful completion of these written exams is a crucial step before students proceed to their individual oral examinations.
