Romanian Baccalaureate

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Bacalaureat (or BAC for short) is an exam held in Romania when one gradates high school (Romanian: liceu).

Unlike the French Baccalaureat, the Romanian one has a single degree. It follows a pattern of six subjects, letter-coded (A, B, C, D, E, and F). All the subjects (except subject A) depend on the profile studied (Romanian: profil de studiu): math&sciences (Romanian: real), philollogy (Romanian: filologie), umanist (Romanian: uman), vocational (Romanian: vocaţional) and others), and the candidate's choice.

[edit] Subjects

A: Romanian Language (oral and written examination)

B: forreign language (any studdied language; oral examination)

C: maternal language (if different from Romanian, and if studied; oral and written examination)

D: compulsory subject (of the profile)

E: subject to be chosen (of the profile)

F: subject to be chosen (of the opposed (complementary) profile)

Tests A, B, and C consist of an oral examination. The candidates must prove that they have the ability of expressing themselves in that language, can understand a written text, can read a text in the foreign language.

Tests A, B, D, E, and F consist of a 3 hour written exam.

Test F may consist, instead of a written exam, of a practical examination.
