Between July 15-22, the registrations for the fall session of the 2024 Baccalaureate exam take place. High school graduates will only take the tests in which they did not get a grade 5. For example, if in the summer you got a grade 7 in the Romanian Language, a grade 6 in Mathematics and grade 4 in physics, in the following session you will take the exam only in Physics.
Who can register for the Baccalaureate 2024, autumn session
All high school graduates who did not pass the July exam or those who did not pass in previous years can register for the 2024 Baccalaureate exam in the autumn session. People who have completed 12 classes, but have never taken the maturity exam, can also enroll in the Baccalaureate. As for the age limit, it does not exist. It doesn’t matter what year you finished high school either.
How many times can you take the Baccalaureate in Romania
High school graduates who have not passed the exam in the past should know that they can register for the Baccalaureate every year, both in the summer and fall sessions, if they do not pass on the first attempt. Therefore, the law does not only provide for a certain number of registrations, beyond which you no longer have the right to take the tests. The gift can be given year after year until you take it. For example, if you failed last year, you can come back this year better prepared. And if you still don’t get a passing grade, come back next year. And so on.

Instead, whoever returns for the third time will pay a registration fee. However, it increases from one year to the next.
