Maturitná skúška – Matematika is the external written mathematics testing that forms part of the Slovak Maturita, the school-leaving examination taken at the end of secondary education (gymnázium and stredná škola). The testing is organised nationally: the Národný inštitút vzdelávania a mládeže (NIVAM) lists external testing at schools (externé testovanie na školách) among its core activities and maintains a dedicated Maturita section within its Merania area, alongside Testovanie 9 and international assessments. The exam is intended for maturanti who have chosen mathematics among their maturitné predmety, and its results are used both for the school-leaving certificate and, for many candidates, as part of admission considerations at universities. Content is defined by the state curriculum and spans four broad areas: numbers and relations, functions and relations, geometry and measurement, and combinatorics with probability. The Slovakia Maturita Math case studies are 5 cases and about 1,544 words.
