The simulation of the national evaluation exam 2025 in the Romanian language and literature was difficult, and the students could have easily fall into the trap, commented for the “Adevărul” Romanian teacher, Ruxandra Achim.

The simulation of the national evaluation exam in the Romanian language and literature started at 9.00, and the students had two hours to solve the subessions. Topics that were not easy at all, said Ruxandra Achim, a Romanian language and literature teacher within the “IL Caragiale” National College in Bucharest.
Simulation National Assessment 2025. The subjects in the Romanian language and literature
The eighth-grade students received two texts at first sight. The first text is the poetry “awakening” by Lucian Blaga, and the second is from the article of journalist Cristina Stefan “beekeeping resistance”, published in the old dilemma in 2017. Based on these two texts, the students had to respond to several requirements, the first being grid type items.









Romanian teacher: “The topics were difficult”
“They are not the most accessible variants of topics”, He commented for “Adevărul” Professor Ruxandra Achim. “It respects the model and the structure, but they are, however, a bit difficult. The poetic text will ask the children in difficulty, including on the choice of the correct variants to the questions with objective items. Nu seemed easy at all. Students, for a high note, have to prove that they master certain shades very well. In poetry, for example, he should have realized that he uses a metaphorical figurative language. For example, if the student is used to observing the meanings of the poetic text, he could see that the kite in the text is, in fact, metaphorically. But someone who has less experience could make mistakes. I mean point five, the third question ”. The questions required “A mature thought.”
Blaga’s poetry, deeply metaphorical and difficult for the living students
Lucian Blaga is not accessible for older students either. It is a difficult poem, the teacher told us. “It is deeply metaphorical, and children must exercise their understanding capacity. However, the literary text has several levels of understanding. You can go on an understanding of the surface, and then the text reveals some of the meanings, but you can go on an understanding in the depth of things. I mean, I can go on this deep understanding and discover that the text transmits something else. My opinion is that the approach could be done on any of these levels. That is, they will not be penalized if they do not reach Blaga’s philosophy. It is about an analysis on a level of understanding of class VIII ”.
The teacher believes, however, that the students had, Tutui, luck. “They studied Blaga in December-January. So they have this fresh author in mind. The children are familiar, to some extent, with Blaga’s poetry, the presence of this author is not even unique. This may be many help. However, the fact that Blaga dropped them is just a coincidence. The text is at first sight ”, says the teacher.
The non-literary text, a press article that requires attention and logical deductions
And the non-literary text was designed according to the model, but the students did not have easy demands here. “They should have been careful, to see what it was. Because there are some questions to which the answer is not overlapping with a sequence in the text. I mean, he has to do a deduction there. ” The teacher gives the number five question as an example in point five. “In the text it is said that Romanians eat four times less lamb than the Italians or the French. It’s not difficult, but you have to be careful. You have to operate properly with the information. “
Compared to the simulation that took place last year, this year the children received heavier topics, considers the teacher. “Students receive much better the idea of narrative text with summary than lyrical text with message”
In conclusion, the topics at the Simulation National Assessment 2025 were more difficult than the previous years, and Blaga will put the children in trouble. “If we refer to the easiest requirements, theoretically it should be that the students can check some easier things, because it was about understanding the text. As for subject two, the easiest requirement was the composition ”, said Professor Ruxandra Achim.
