Slovenia Matura Exam: Ancient Greek

The Matura exam in Slovenia is a national examination taken at the end of secondary education (gimnazija). It serves as a school-leaving certificate and is required for admission to university. Students are examined in five subjects: three compulsory and two elective.

Ancient Greek is one of the elective subjects offered in the Matura exam. Like other language subjects such as English, French, German, Italian, Latin, Russian, and Spanish, Ancient Greek can be taken at either the foundation or higher difficulty level. Students can choose a maximum of two subjects at the higher level. The Matura exam is administered in two series: spring (May-June) and autumn (August-September). A mock exam is held in March for Year 4 students. Exam results are expressed on a five-grade scale (Insufficient, Sufficient, Good, Very Good, Excellent), with a passing grade of at least Sufficient (2). Additional points are awarded for higher-level exams and exams in the mother tongue. Students can resit exams to improve their grades.

While the available information confirms Ancient Greek as an elective subject, specific details regarding the syllabus and exam content are not readily available.
