Awards

All students in all levels (Novice, Level I-V) and categories (A, B, C) will receive a medal, a prize and/or a certificate, according to the national percentile distribution. Each teacher will receive a Results Report that will include students' raw scores, as well as their percentile rankings indicating the performance of an individual student in correlation to national results. The achievement level for each student’s performance and whether or not they qualify for the Study in Italy Prize will also be included.
