- Exam start time
- 10:00 Romania time (EEST, GMT+3) on the dayFixed by the Regulation rather than varying by session. Two paper variants are prepared in advance and one is drawn on the morning of the exam.
- Results
- Not yet published2027 not published. In 2026, results were posted at 17:00 on the day of each test, appeals were lodged by email the same day, and final results after redistribution followed on 7 August and 25 September

How it's scored
- Correct single-answer item
- +1 point
- Incorrect answer
- 0 points (no negative marking anywhere in the Regulation)
- Unanswered question
- 0 points
- Multi-answer items
- 0.20 points per matched box: five boxes at 0.20 each, so an item is still worth at most 1.00 point
- How many answers can be correct
- More than one is possible, but never all five, and a candidate who fills all five boxes has that question cancelled
- Maximum raw score
- 60 points (40 Biology + 20 Chemistry)
- Grade formula
- N = (points scored × 1.50 + 10) / 10, calculated to two decimal places without rounding
- What the formula implies
- Zero marks gives 1.00, the floor of Romania's scale; 60 marks gives 10.00; each single raw point is worth exactly 0.15 grade points
- Minimum eligible score
- 5.00 out of 10, 26.67 points on the formula, so 27 of 60 in practice (which gives 5.05). Below it you are not eligible regardless of rank
- Per-subject floors
- None: there is no Biology or Chemistry sub-threshold and no Romanian equivalent of the Italian OFA additional learning requirement
- Reserve questions
- None published; the Regulation describes a single 60-item paper drawn from two prepared variants and never mentions reserve or replacement items
