The San Raffaele
Complete Guide

No. San Raffaele's current English-track test doesn't include a separate General Culture component. It has two parts: Logic, Problem Solving & Reading Comprehension (36 questions, the larger of the two), then Scientific Subjects (24 questions covering biology, chemistry, mathematics and physics).

+1 for a correct answer, −0.25 for a wrong one and 0 for a blank, across 60 multiple-choice questions, with no minimum score: places go purely by ranking. It's sat online from home under remote proctoring, and no calculator is allowed. In 2026/27 each quota had two sessions of its own (EU: 14 February and 14 March 2026; non-EU candidates resident abroad: 11 February and 4 March 2026), and your better score counted.

This guide is built for the English-taught International Medical Doctor Program's admission test. San Raffaele's Italian-taught programme runs a separate, differently structured test, so check its current format directly with the university before relying on this guide for that track.

Yes. The simulator supports San Raffaele-specific practice sessions.

150 total seats: 86 for EU applicants and 64 reserved for non-EU applicants. San Raffaele doesn't publish an official acceptance rate, so treat any percentage you see elsewhere as a third-party estimate, not a university figure.

Within the EU, yes, automatically, as a standard Italian medical degree (LM-41). Outside the EU it isn't automatic as a rule. For the UK, the Medical Act 1983 (sections 21B and 21C, as in force on 12 October 2026) spares holders of an Italian medical degree the knowledge test other international graduates take through PLAB/UKMLA, but the UK's list pairs the laurea with the Diploma di abilitazione all'esercizio della medicina e chirurgia, which Italy stopped issuing in March 2020, when the practical training moved inside the degree. The GMC's Italy page therefore offers graduates since then provisional registration on the laurea, for a UK Foundation Year 1 post, and asks for evidence of supervised practice, such as a 12-month internship, for full registration. US-bound graduates need ECFMG certification via USMLE Step 1 and Step 2 CK, the same requirement every international medical graduate faces.
