Maturita Exam

You must successfully pass all compulsory examinations in both the profile (school) and common (state) parts. You complete the comprehensive examination in Czech and a foreign language by passing all its component parts — the didactic test, the written assignment and the oral examination. The results of optional examinations have no bearing on passing the maturita exam.

Resit examinations are held only for compulsory examinations; you have two resit attempts per subject (no later than 5 years after completing your studies). You only repeat the particular component examination that you did not pass successfully. You submit your application for a resit or substitute examination to the headteacher, usually by the end of June; the subject cannot be changed once you have applied.

Absence must be excused to the headteacher in writing no later than three working days afterwards; the headteacher decides whether to accept the excuse. If you do not submit an excuse, or it is not accepted, the examination counts as an unsuccessful attempt — for a compulsory examination, you must then take a resit.

A transcript of the didactic test results for the common part, a report on the results of the common part and — once all compulsory examinations in both parts have been successfully passed — the maturita certificate.

Performance in the common part is stated in the results report in percentage points. On the maturita certificate, the results of all examinations — both the common and profile parts — are graded with marks.

Yes. If you have doubts about the correctness of the result or the conduct of the examination, you may submit a request for review. You also have the right to inspect your examination documentation — apply to the headteacher for either of these.
