UPDATE The Mathematics topics from the National Assessment 2026 have appeared. While the first two topics contained six grid-type sub-items (assessed with 5 points each), the high stakes of the exam moved to the third topic, which brought a change of vision: the elimination of multiple options and the introduction of open-ended problems.

Original news:
Access to the classrooms is allowed until 8:30 a.m., and students must have a valid ID and writing instruments with ink or blue paste, according to the procedure established by the Ministry of Education and Research.
The test starts at 9:00am with the distribution of the subject booklet and stamped draft paper, with students having two hours to complete the requirements.
At the Romanian Language and Literature exam, held on Monday, out of the 148,268 enrolled students, 4,551 were absent, and 4 were eliminated for not following the rules. Also, almost 15,000 students who were enrolled at the beginning of the school year in the 8th grade do not appear enrolled in the National Assessment, a figure that raises questions about the dropout phenomenon and the access to education of all children of this generation.
Prohibitions in the examination hall
The Ministry of Education has established clear rules regarding both how to correct mistakes by students and conduct in the exam room.
In both tests, candidates can correct by cutting with a single horizontal line over the text considered wrong and continue writing, without using correctors or other materials that may obscure the original answers.
It is also forbidden to bring into the classrooms any kind of helpful materials: textbooks, notes, notes, books, drafts, collections or other materials that could be used to solve the subjects.
Mobile phones, electronic computing, information storage or communication tools are strictly prohibited, as are satchels, backpacks, satchels or purses, which must be left in the storage room established by the commission. Candidates who refuse to store personal items are not accepted in the exam, and the samples are audio-video monitored, according to the procedures in force.
The students who benefit from the extension of the working time, by a maximum of two hours, are those for whom this request was approved by the County Commission or the Bucharest Municipality, based on the procedure regarding the equalization of opportunities for students with visual, hearing and neurodevelopmental disorders.
When do the first results appear?
For the second consecutive year, papers can be viewed after initial results are posted and before appeals are lodged, giving students the opportunity to check their grading before deciding whether to appeal.
The first results from the National Assessment 2026 are displayed on July 1, until 12:00, and on the same day, between 14:00 and 18:00, the period for viewing the works and submitting appeals begins.
This process continues on July 2nd and 3rd, followed by appeals between July 4th and 7th, and the final results are published on July 8th. All results are displayed online anonymized, based on the individual codes received by candidates, and will be available for two years, according to the ministerial order approving the EN VIII 2026 calendar.
Stages of computerized assignment in high school
The overall average at the National Assessment, calculated as an arithmetic mean, with two decimal places, without rounding, of the grades obtained in the two written tests, is the only criterion used for admission to the 9th grade of high school.
On July 9, the county-level hierarchy of graduates is announced, according to this average. Between July 13 and 20, students fill out, in electronic format, the option sheets for high school, with the support of the directors and parents, and on July 22 the first computerized distribution takes place.
Afterwards, between July 23 and 28, the application files are submitted to the allocated high schools, and for candidates who did not get places in the first stage or did not submit their files, a second computerized distribution stage is scheduled, starting from July 31, also intended for students from previous series, up to 18 years old.
