IMAT past papers, free from the Ministry
Every English-language IMAT paper from 2011 to 2026 is published by the Italian Ministry of University and Research. Here is where to find them and how to get the most out of them.
Free IMAT Physics mock quizzes
Two free 10-question quizzes on Physics only, which follow the IMAT syllabus, with instant answers and worked solutions. They are practice quizzes, not official tests.
10-Week IMAT Physics Programme
A personal plan that takes you through the whole IMAT physics syllabus in 10 weeks: one-to-one online lessons, topic booklets with full worked solutions and timed mock tests, built around your results.
- Week 1 · Units, scalars and vectors (Booklet 1)
- SI units and prefixes, conversions, scientific notation, dimensional analysis, scalars and vectors, adding and resolving vectors.
- Week 2 · Kinematics (Booklet 2)
- Displacement, velocity, acceleration, uniform and uniformly accelerated motion, free fall, projectiles, motion graphs, uniform circular motion.
- Week 3 · Dynamics: forces and moments (Booklet 4)
- Newton's laws, weight, normal force, tension, friction, elastic force (Hooke's law), inclined planes, centripetal force, moments and equilibrium.
- Week 4 · Work, energy and momentum (Booklet 5)
- Work, kinetic and potential energy, conservation of energy, power and efficiency, impulse, momentum and collisions.
- Week 5 · Harmonic motion and fluids (Booklets 3 and 6)
- Simple harmonic motion, mass–spring system, pendulum; pressure, Stevin's law, Pascal's and Archimedes' principles, continuity, Bernoulli.
- Week 6 · Thermodynamics (Booklet 7)
- Temperature, heat, specific and latent heat, heat capacity, ideal gas laws, first and second laws of thermodynamics.
- Week 7 · Electrostatics and circuits (Booklets 8 and 9)
- Coulomb's law, electric field and potential, capacitors; current, resistance, Ohm's law, series and parallel resistors, Kirchhoff's laws, Joule effect, emf and internal resistance.
- Week 8 · Magnetism and induction (Booklet 10)
- Magnetic field, force on currents and moving charges, electromagnetic induction, Faraday's and Lenz's laws, AC and transformers.
- Week 9 · Mixed exam-style practice
- Mixed questions from all topics under timed conditions, review of common mistakes, targeted work on the weakest topics.
- Week 10 · Full mock exams and review
- Full timed IMAT-style mock tests, detailed feedback, final revision plan and exam-day strategy.
Every week: one-to-one online lesson, topic booklet with theory and worked solutions, practice questions from basic to exam level, and a short progress check.

How to use past papers
- 1. First attempt
- Take one paper without a timer, mark it and write down every topic that cost you marks. This is your starting point, not your score.
- 2. Timed attempt
- Later, sit a full paper under exam conditions: one sitting, the real time limit, no notes. Follow the format and marking rules in that year's decree.
- 3. Sort the mistakes
- For each wrong answer decide if it was a knowledge gap, a method slip, a misread question or a timing problem. The fixes are different.
- 4. Practise by topic
- Go back to the Annex A syllabus, work through the weak topics, then test yourself on the next paper. Do not use up all the papers at the start.
Questions
- Are the papers free?
- Yes. They are published by the Ministry and you can download them without registering.
- Are there worked solutions?
- Not in the official files. In lessons we go through the Physics and Maths questions step by step and I explain the method, not only the answer.
- Which subjects do you cover?
- The papers include Biology, Chemistry, Maths, Physics and reasoning. I help with the Physics and Maths questions, and the free quizzes on this site are Physics only.
- Are past papers enough?
- They show the style of the test, but they do not replace learning the syllabus. Use them to find the gaps, then fix the gaps.
