The key numbers

On 8 July the Central Examination Board (CKE) published the 2026 matura results. About 321,000 of this year's graduates took the exams, including more than 221,000 from general secondary schools (licea). 81.1% of them passed all compulsory exams.

  • general secondary schools: 85.9% passed, 9.5% may resit;
  • technical schools: 71.3% passed, 18.5% may resit;
  • second-level vocational schools: 15.4% passed, 28.4% may resit;
  • average basic-level results: Polish 59%, maths 59%, English 78%.

Resits: deadline 15 July

A resit is open to anyone who failed only one compulsory exam (written or oral) — 12.3% of graduates. They must declare their intention to resit by 15 July. Resits take place on 24 August (written) and 25 August (oral), with results on 11 September.

6.6% of graduates failed more than one exam — they cannot resit in August and will retake the matura next year.

University admissions

Those who passed can already use their results in universities' IRK systems — in many cases results are taken automatically from the National Matura Register. Those awaiting a resit should check whether their chosen university recruits in September, e.g. for part-time studies or in a supplementary round.

Every candidate also has the right to view their marked paper and may request verification of the points total — the regional examination board publishes the rules and deadlines.
