Test to choose your high school
You have finished middle school and you have to decide. The choice weighs on you, we know. This test to choose your high school helps you understand which track comes closest to who you are: answer a few questions and in ten minutes you have a concrete starting point. Free, no registration.
One honest premise before you start. No test decides for you. It serves to bring order: between what you are good at, what you like and what bores you after a while. The result is a compass, not a verdict.

The test is right below. The questions are simple, there are no right or wrong answers. Answer from the gut, without overthinking: that is how the most honest answers come out.
How the test works (and why it is different)
Most online tests only ask what you like and spit out a liceo. Too little. A person can love history and hate rote learning: in that case the classics would be a mistake, not a bet.
Our test crosses four things: who you are, how you do at school, what you are passionate about and what you dream of becoming. It is the crossover that counts. Two students with the same passions but opposite personalities often end up in different schools, and rightly so.
What the test really measures
Four dimensions, assessed together but with different weight. Let's look at them, starting with the most important.
Who you are: personality and interests
This is the factor that counts the most. We don't just look at what you like, but at how your mind works: does it light you up to solve problems, create, help others, organise, build with your hands? Your values and the environment where you perform best also belong here. The way you study counts too, but it is one of the many signals in this group, not the most decisive.
How you do and what lights you up: grades and subjects
It weighs almost as much as the first factor. Your real grades in the various subjects matter, and so does which subjects you genuinely like: not the one with the nice teacher, but the one you don't mind sitting down to study. Doing well and having fun are two different things, and the test keeps them apart.
Hobbies and passions
What you do in your free time says a lot about you. Whoever takes computers apart, whoever draws, whoever volunteers, whoever coaches a team: passions reveal inclinations that don't always surface at school, and they shift the result.
What you dream of becoming
If you already have an idea of the job you'd like, it counts. All else being equal, the test gives more value to the tracks that genuinely lead where you want to go: the goal in your head deserves weight, even if at thirteen ideas can still change.
After the result: what to do with your track
The test gives you a main track and a few alternatives. Don't stop there. For each one you will find a guide that explains what you really study, how many hours, what level of difficulty and what you can do after the diploma.
The practical advice: also read the guide for the track the test puts in second place. Often the right choice is right there, a whisker from the first, and a single open day is enough to clear the doubt.
Is the test reliable? The honest answer
It depends on how you use it. If you answer honestly and take the result as a cue to verify, it is a useful tool. If you use it as an oracle, no: no questionnaire knows your life, your friends, the school down the road.
To be precise: a good orientation test gets the right area (humanistic, scientific, technical, artistic) far more often than the single exact track. Use it to narrow the field, then decide for yourself, with your head and with people who know you.
Frequently asked questions about the orientation test
Is the test free?
Yes, the test is completely free and requires no registration. Answer the questions and get your result straight away, with the recommended track and the alternatives.
How long does the test take?
About ten minutes. They are short, closed-answer questions, designed for students in their last year of middle school: no preparation needed.
Does the result decide which school I should attend?
No. The test points to the tracks most in line with your aptitudes and interests, but the final decision stays yours, ideally discussed with parents and teachers.
Can I retake the test?
Yes, as many times as you like. In fact, retaking it after a few weeks is useful: sometimes ideas change after an open day or a chat.
Is it okay if I am torn between a liceo and a technical institute?
Especially in that case. The test compares theory and practice precisely and tells you which way you lean, helping you settle the most common doubt.
What to do now
Take the test above, note the track that comes out and open its guide. Then check the open day dates of nearby schools: seeing a place in person is worth more than a thousand quizzes. Our guide on how to choose your high school walks you through it step by step.
