"We remind you that in order to pass the exam, a high school graduate must cumulatively meet the following conditions: take the linguistic and digital competence assessment tests, take all written tests and obtain at least a score of five in each of them, and achieve an overall average of at least six in the written tests." the minister added.

"For those who did not pass after the final results are published, they can retake the Baccalaureate exam in the subsequent sessions, including the autumn session this year. If they were not expelled from the exam, they have the option to request recognition of the passed tests and only retake the ones they failed.

Candidates who were expelled cannot register for the Baccalaureate exam in the next two sessions. This refers to cases of fraud.

The autumn session this year will begin on August 8 with the evaluation of oral communication skills in the Romanian language.

The written tests will take place between August 19 and 22. Candidate registration for the autumn Baccalaureate will occur between July 15 and 22." - the Minister of Education also stated.
