2024 Matura Exam Results

At a briefing, Deputy Minister of Education Tanya Pancheva announced the results of this year's state matriculation exams. The average grade for Bulgarian Language and Literature is "Good" 4.39, and for the second profile subject – "Very Good" 4.89.

"We received reports of identical exam materials. 107 exam papers were annulled, 100 of which had identical content," commented Deputy Minister Pancheva.

Key highlights:

  • Annulled papers: 107 cases of cheating or identical texts, which indicates attempts at malpractice.
  • Preferred subjects: English remains the most preferred second profile subject.
  • Handling the materials: Graduates show excellent skills in extracting information from text, with the essay remaining a more preferred format than the interpretive composition.
  • Top achievements: Four graduates achieved the maximum of 100 points on both exams.

The Ministry of Education and Science emphasized that every paper was reviewed multiple times by university professors. Alexander Tringov added that the identity of the texts is easily detectable, as the tasks require individual reasoning and personal opinion.
