Romania reached a 71.4% pass rate at the recently ended Baccalaureate exam across the country. This was higher than 68.1% in 2016.

Over 128,000 Romanian high school students took the Baccalaureate exam in June-July, and over 91,000 of them passed it.

Only 97 students took the maximum overall across all of Romania. The exam score is important as most universities in Romania accept students based on their Baccalaureate exam results and the average of their yearly grades in high school.

The Baccalaureate pass rate has improved significantly in Romania over the past five years, after reaching an all-time low of 44.4% in 2012.
