Ukraine has released the preliminary results of the main sessions of the National Multisubject Test 2025. The chairman of the Parliamentary Committee on Education, Science and Innovation, Serhiy Babak, said that 0.39% of applicants failed the Ukrainian language, 0.16% failed the history of Ukraine, and 11.73% failed mathematics.
He stressed that the Ukrainian language and history demonstrate a consistently high level of proficiency. Mathematics, on the other hand, was both the leader in terms of the number of maximum results (38.5% of participants scored 200 points) and the subject with the highest proportion of those who did not pass the threshold. According to him, this shows the gap between the strongest and weakest participants.
As for the elective subjects, only 7,879 entrants chose physics, and 2,578 chose chemistry. However, the level of those who failed these subjects is also high: 10.37% for physics and 6.05% for chemistry. Babak noted that even with a small number of participants, these figures indicate difficulties in mastering natural sciences.
At the same time, geography became the leader in terms of success: only 0.07% of participants out of more than 64,000 registered failed the test. Biology also demonstrated good results, with only 0.09% of unsatisfactory scores. According to Babak, this is due to its importance for admission to medical specialties, while chemistry, which is also among the recommended subjects for doctors, is chosen less often due to the lack of material resources for its study in schools.
Another positive indicator concerns the English language – only 2.33% of participants failed the test.
This year, 317,083 participants registered for the NMT, of whom 236,529 are this year’s school leavers, and the rest are returning to school after a break. According to the Ukrainian Centre for Educational Quality Assessment, 2,400 applicants received 200 points in at least one subject, 250 participants scored the maximum score in two subjects, 31 in three, and three passed all four subjects with the highest score.
