Results of the 2025 Matura exams. Today, the students will learn the results

At 8:30, the Central Examination Board will publish the preliminary results of this year's matriculation exams. Graduates will be able to see how they did after logging into the nationwide ZIU system. This year, 255.5 thousand post-primary school graduates took the exam.

This year, the matriculation exam session began on May 5 and lasted until May 22. A total of 255.5 thousand graduates of this year's secondary schools took part in it, including 161.4 thousand graduates of high schools, 92.8 thousand graduates of technical schools and 1.3 thousand graduates of second-degree vocational schools. Together with them, 636 citizens of Ukraine took the exam under the law on assistance to citizens of Ukraine in connection with the armed conflict in the territory of that country.

This year's graduates are the first cohort of high school graduates to retake exams based on the requirements set out in the core curriculum, rather than the exam requirements introduced in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic. Currently, the so-called slimmed-down core curriculum is in force, in which the teaching content has been reduced by 20 percent.

A high school graduate who failed one compulsory exam (written or oral) has the right to resit in August . The resit exams are scheduled for August 19-20 . In turn, a high school graduate who failed more than one compulsory exam can only improve their results in a year.

The high school graduate has the right to appeal the result of the exam. The appeal process involves several stages. The first is to apply to the relevant regional examination board (OKE) for the opportunity to view their assessed work. The graduate can take a photo of the exam sheet. In case of doubts about the grade, the graduate can submit an application for its re-verification to the director of OKE, who will decide whether to change the grade or maintain it.

If a high school graduate does not agree with the OKE decision, the next step in the appeal process is to submit an application to the Examination Arbitration Board at the Central Examination Commission within seven days of receiving information about the result of the OKE's score verification. The appeal may only concern those tasks that were not positively verified by the OKE. Although the application is formally addressed to the director of the Central Examination Commission, it should be submitted to the parent OKE.

Then the application is reconsidered by the OKE. The OKE Director may accept the entire appeal, only part of it, or not accept it at all. The answers that he does not accept are forwarded to the Central Examination Board. The CKE Director forwards them to the Board of Examination Arbitration. The board is composed of experienced examiners and experts in a given field of science.
