The Ukrainian Center for Education Quality Assessment has published a final report on the national multi-subject test (NMT) in 2026. This year, 329 000 people took it.

Of these, 280 797 participants — 85.2% — passed the threshold in all four subjects. This was a prerequisite for admission to Ukrainian higher education institutions in 2026.

At the same time, 48 590 NMT participants (14.8%) did not pass the threshold in at least one subject. The worst results were in mathematics — 39 888 participants failed it. This is 12.1% of all those who took the test.

For comparison, 6 217 people failed the Ukrainian language, and only 1 283 failed the history of Ukraine. That is, more than 82% of all failures were in mathematics.

This year, 3, 712 participants scored the maximum 200 points in at least one subject — most in English (2,194 results) and mathematics (1 152 results).

366 applicants took the history of Ukraine, 267 took the Ukrainian language, 175 took the Ukrainian literature, 52 took the physics, and only six took the geography.
