Romanian exams

To enter high school in Romania, you need to pass an exam at the end of VIIIth grade.
It consists of a mathematics exam, a Romanian language exam (grammar and writing),
and for some high schools with certain profiles, an additional aptitude test. There are two
types of schools: regular high schools and "professional " (or "vocational") schools that
concentrate on giving you skills for a particular type of job. If you get more than 50% on all
exams, depending on your grade, you can go to your choice of high school or a professional
school (you go to your choice of school in descending order, according to your grade). You
do not need to pass the exam to get into a professional school, but you do need if you want
your choice of such a school. After the first exam session, for those who failed or did not show,
there is a second session when you have again a chance to get onto the remaining available
places in high school or professional schools. If you fail again, you are placed in the remaining
spots in professional schools.

Would you get into a romanian high school? A note on statistics: In 2003 (the only year I could
find the relevant official statistics on the internet), about 70% of students passed the exam in the
first session, and about half of those remaining passed in the second session (for a total of about
85% passing in both tries). The percentages have small fluctuations over different years.

In order to be able to register for college, you have to have passed a nationwide comprehensive
examination at the end of high school, on several subjects (the particular subjects depend partly
on the focus of your high school). The minimum passing grade is 50 % for each subject.
For science oriented high schools (as opposed to humanities oriented) both math
and physics are part of the exam (math is always present, maybe at an easier level, but
physics might not be). The math exam covers all the subject matter taught, but the
Physics exam covers only the subject matter up to the middle of 11th grade. In the
second half of 11th grade and in 12th grade one is taught Special Relativity, Elements of
Atomic and Nuclear Physics, but it is not required for the baccalaureate.
Here are some physics and math exams (for the science orientation) from the last years:
