Over 61,000 ninth graders from all over the country are taking the science exam today and tomorrow, BNT reports. The purpose of the test is to support the better performance of 15-year-old students in the PISA international study, which will be in natural sciences next year in April.
This will also be the first exam in our country that will be held entirely on electronic devices. The tasks are practically oriented and are in 3 main areas - biology and health education, chemistry and environmental protection, and physics and astronomy. There will be up to 10 case type questions in the three areas. Since there are many ninth graders and fewer devices, the exam will be held on two consecutive days.
