Exam Format:

The Matura exam includes both written and oral components. Some subjects, such as languages, involve a grammar test and an essay.

Exam Administration:

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. The State Examination Centre (RIC) is responsible for the development and administration of the Matura exam.

For example, at the University of Ljubljana's School of Economics and Business, Matura results contribute 60% of the admission points, while GPA from the 3rd and 4th year of high school accounts for the remaining 40%.
