What does a student have to do to pass the Matura in Poland?
Polish pupils need at least 30 percent in every compulsory subject and one additional advanced subject exam.
In Poland the maturity exam has an oral part and a written part. To pass, pupils must score at least 30 percent of the points available in each compulsory subject, in both the written and oral parts, and take an exam in one additional subject at the advanced level (or, for a modern foreign language, at the advanced or bilingual level). Graduates who pass receive a maturity certificate, świadectwo dojrzałości, which provides access to higher education.
