Rules of computing Matura exam results

1 Polish
(part written) 		basic 0.35 1
max. 35 pts
extended 0.35
max. 35 pts
Mode I: additional information on calculation of results
  1. If the results of the Matura exam are given on the Matura certificate as a percentage, they are converted into points according to the rule 1% = 1 point.
  2. In case a candidate does not have a grade in the subject/level indicated in the admission rules, they receive 0 score for that subject/level.
  3. If the admission rules take into account the result of one subject taken at either the basic or extended level, and the candidate has results for both levels of that subject, the more favorable result is considered.
  4. If the Polish language is taken into account in the admission rules, in the absence of the Polish language, the native language of the country where the high school leaving examination is taken is considered for Polish citizens who graduated from high school abroad and foreigners who have a foreign high school leaving certificate.
  5. The bilingual Matura exam result for a modern foreign language is calculated as an extended level Matura exam multiplied by 4/3 (however, no more than 100%).
  6. For graduates from schools belonging to the International Baccalaureate Organization (IB), to whom mode I applies, the results of the Matura exam are calculated into percentages of the new Matura exam in accordance with the rules given in the tables below:
