The Državna matura is the national school-leaving examination in Croatia, administered by the Nacionalni centar za vanjsko vrednovanje obrazovanja (NCVVO). The higher-level Mathematics exam, often called Matematika A or Matura A, is used for admission to university programmes that expect strong mathematical preparation, including mathematics, engineering, computer science, economics, and natural sciences. It is intended for candidates who have completed the four-year gymnasium curriculum or an equivalent secondary programme and who need to demonstrate competence across the full range of pre-university mathematics. The exam is written and consists of short-answer and extended-response items; a calculator is permitted according to the current exam catalogue. Topics on this exam: Numbers and algebra (real numbers, powers and roots, algebraic expressions, equations and inequalities), Functions (linear, quadratic, exponential, logarithmic, polynomial, rational; graphs and transformations), Geometry and trigonometry (plane and solid geometry, trigonometric ratios and identities), Sequences and series (arithmetic and geometric sequences, sums), Analytic geometry (lines, circles, conic sections, vectors in the plane), Probability and statistics (combinatorics, probability, descriptive statistics), and Calculus (limits, derivatives, applications of derivatives, introductory integration).
