The Ministry of Education published the official mathematics exam papers and marking scheme for Romania’s 2026 National Assessment on Wednesday at 15:00, giving students and families immediate access to the documents on the dedicated platform subiecte.edu.ro and via Digi24.ro .
The written mathematics test for the 2026 National Assessment began at 09:00 on the same day, with the ministry releasing the full problem set and the official answer key simultaneously. The materials are now available for download on the ministry’s designated portal and mirrored by major news outlets, allowing candidates to cross-check their responses and calculate provisional scores .
Teachers who reviewed the papers described the session as notably more demanding than previous years. Cătălin Budeanu, a mathematics teacher at Colegiul Național Emil Racoviță in Iași, told Agerpres that scores between 9.20 and 10 would be considered exceptional, underscoring the elevated difficulty level . Denisa Tănăsescu, a Bucharest-based teacher at Colegiul I.L. Caragiale, told Adevărul that plane geometry questions were particularly challenging, comparing the standard to that of an Olympiad .
The ministry’s prompt release of both the exam papers and the marking rubric follows the established schedule for the National Assessment, which this year covers all eighth-grade students across the country. The mathematics component is the second of two mandatory written tests, following the Romanian language and literature exam held on Monday. Candidates now have the tools to verify their answers and estimate their final results before the official grading process begins.
