The Ministry of Education published on Thursday, April 9, the final results of the simulation of the national Baccalaureate exam, held between March 23 and 26, 2026. According to the institution, 778,464 assessments were made this year, approximately 13% more than in the 2025 simulation, the increase being attributed to the higher participation of students.
The simulation took place in 1,364 high schools throughout the country, and the number of candidates was higher in all tests:
Romanian language and literature: over 114,600 students (compared to 101,000 in 2025)
