C‘it was once upon a time the Maturity of a thousand revisionsthat of the old formula open to all subjects in which we spent the night frantically leafing through books, hoping that the commissioner on duty wouldn’t ask for that one forgotten author. The 2026 Maturity oral exam will be differentinstead: you will no longer have to study everything. The final interview, in fact, turns into a path traced around just four subjects established by the Ministry of Education and Merit, before which only one question echoes in the class chats: an internal or external commissioner will be the one to question on that given matter?
Oral Maturity: how and where to find the 4 subjects of the interview
Unraveling the enigma of the quartet of subjects is less complicated than expected, but it is necessary to rely on official channels. The starting point is the Ministry’s electronic portalwhere the search engine dedicated to the exam disciplines is located. This digital platform becomes one fundamental compass to avoid classic last-minute fake news and the rumors that bounce around uselessly in class chats.
How to fill in the fields to get the exact card
Once on the page, simply select your study path from a drop-down menu. Be careful not to be generic: the system asks you to specify the exact address, including options, particular articulations or experiments of your institution. By clicking on send, the portal generates a summary sheet: it is there, under the specific column entitled “Other interview disciplines”where the four official subjects of your oral exam appear written in black and white.

The identikit of the internal and external commissioners
Once the quartet of disciplines has been discovered, the real thrill lies in cross-referencing the data with the names of the commissionmade up of an external president, two internal teachers of the class and two teachers who come from other schools. Next to every subject, in the column called “Nomination”the portal reveals the fate of the student. If the wording “internal commissioner” appears, the question will be a dialogue with a known face; if the box indicates “external commissioner”, the matter will be entrusted to a complete stranger.
Where to find the name of the mysterious teacher
The real moment of digital espionage begins when we try to put a face to that mysterious professor. This information is obviously not found in the subject engine, but requires a second pass on a different section, which It’s called “Search Commission”. This is a specific database that collects the official lists of all teachers in Italy loaned temporarily to other schools for examination.
How to use the identikit code
To avoid mistaken identity between historic schools or branches of the same district, you need a secret weapon: the mechanical code. This is the alphanumeric sequence that acts as the institution’s identity card and which can be easily retrieved on the electronic register or on the school website. Entered the code, the database returns the names of external teachers. At that point, the green light is given to the classic survey on social media to discover in advance the quirks, favorite questions and style of whoever will hold the final vote.
