Eighth-grade exam: arrangements, what to bring and days off
In less than four weeks the eighth grades will sit their exam. Here is a reminder of what time to arrive, what can be taken into the exam room and how the school works on those days.
The exam lasts three days, from Tuesday to Thursday. There is no pass mark, but the result counts for admission to secondary school.
Students with an opinion or statement from a counselling centre take the exam in conditions adapted to their needs. Parents have already received written information about the adjustments granted.
| Day | Subject | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Tuesday | Polish | 120 minutes |
| Wednesday | mathematics | 100 minutes |
| Thursday | modern foreign language | 90 minutes |
