Moldova Bacalaureat Romanian Language and Literature · Prepare for the day ahead.
Your checklist
Official photo ID (buletin de identitate)
Bring your valid identity card. Confirm with the provider which ID is accepted and whether a passport is allowed if your ID is expired.
Exam admission document (fișa de înscriere / legitimație)
Some centres require the printed registration slip or candidate card. Confirm with the provider exactly which document you must present and whether a digital copy is accepted.
Black or blue ink pens (at least two)
Write legibly with dark ink. Bring a spare. Confirm with the provider if erasable ink or pencil is prohibited.
Wristwatch (non-smart, no audible alarm)
Phones are usually not allowed at your desk. A simple analogue or digital watch helps you pace the three hours. Confirm with the provider whether any watch is permitted.
Clear water bottle with no label
Stay hydrated. Labels may need to be removed. Confirm with the provider whether drinks are allowed in the exam room.
Printed summary of literary texts and authors
Use your own notes for a final review before entering. Do not bring them to your desk. Confirm with the provider what materials are allowed in the waiting area.
Know the exam start time and arrival time
Arrive at least 30 minutes early. Confirm with the provider the exact arrival time and the consequences of lateness.
Know the location and route to the exam centre
Check the address and transport. Confirm with the provider if you are unsure which centre you are assigned to.
Read the official exam structure and scoring
Know the three parts: text comprehension, language analysis, and essay. Confirm with the provider the current weighting and time allocation.
Plan your essay structure and key quotes
Memorise a flexible essay plan and 2–3 short quotations per studied text. Confirm with the provider which texts are in the current programme.
Leave prohibited items at home
Phones, smart devices, notes, and textbooks are usually banned. Confirm with the provider the full list of prohibited items and the storage arrangements.
Check your health and sleep routine
Sleep well the night before and eat a light breakfast. Confirm with the provider the procedure if you fall ill on exam day.
Plan the day
Review the official programme and exam structure. List the literary texts and authors you must know. Confirm with the provider the exact list and any recent changes.
Do one full timed practice paper (3 hours) under exam conditions. Mark it against the official scoring guide and note your weakest section.
Revise your essay plans for each text: theme, characters, narrative techniques, and 2–3 short quotations. Practise writing one introduction and one conclusion from memory.
Light revision only: reread your summaries and quotation sheet. Do not start new material. Prepare your bag with ID, pens, watch, water, and admission document.
Check the exam centre location and transport. Set two alarms. Confirm with the provider the arrival time and what to do if you are late.
Eat a light breakfast and arrive at the centre at least 30 minutes early. Leave your phone and notes with a companion or in the designated storage area.
Before entering, skim your essay plans and quotation sheet one last time. Once seated, read all instructions and the scoring rubric carefully.
Allocate about 15 minutes for planning, 60–70 minutes for the comprehension and language sections, 75–80 minutes for the essay, and 10–15 minutes for proofreading.
Answer every question. For the essay, state a clear thesis, use specific textual evidence, and link each paragraph to the question. Leave space to correct mistakes neatly.
Reserve the final 10 minutes to check spelling, punctuation, and that you have completed all required tasks. Confirm with the provider whether you may leave early and how to submit your paper.
Rules to check
Bring your official photo ID and admission document. You may be refused entry without them. Confirm with the provider which documents are mandatory and whether expired ID is accepted.
Electronic devices, smart watches, notes, and textbooks are usually prohibited at your desk. Confirm with the provider the full list of banned items and the storage procedure.
Arrive before the announced start time. Late candidates may be admitted only at the discretion of the centre. Confirm with the provider the exact lateness policy.
Write only in the ink colour specified on the paper. Do not use correction fluid unless allowed. Confirm with the provider which writing tools are permitted.
Breaks are usually limited to emergencies and may be supervised. Confirm with the provider the procedure for leaving the room and whether extra time is granted.
Scoring follows the official marking scheme for comprehension, language analysis, and essay. Confirm with the provider the weighting and whether penalties apply for irrelevant content.
Any attempt to communicate with other candidates or use unauthorised materials may lead to disqualification. Confirm with the provider the exact sanctions.
Follow all instructions from invigilators. If you have a question, raise your hand and wait. Confirm with the provider how to report a problem during the exam.
