EN VIII Mathematics case studies

Evaluarea Națională (EN VIII) is the national written assessment taken by students at the end of lower secondary education (clasa a VIII-a) in Romania. It is organised by the Ministerul Educației și Cercetării, the ministry whose official site publishes communiqués and results summaries for the assessment - for example, the ministry has published a synthesis of initial results for the 2026 session. The exam is intended for gimnazial candidates preparing to move on to liceu or vocational routes, and it draws on the whole lower-secondary curriculum rather than a single textbook. Mathematics is assessed across four broad strands: numbers and operations, algebra and functions, geometry, and data analysis, statistics and probability - each weighted equally at roughly a quarter of the paper, so no strand can be safely skipped. The EN VIII Mathematics case studies are 5 cases and about 1,759 words.
