The Republika Srpska Mala Matura is an entity-wide Grade 9 external assessment run by RPZ RS in all public primary schools. It consists of two 120-minute papers — mother tongue and mathematics — sat on consecutive days from 10:00. It remains formally experimental: the Ministry renews RPZ RS's consent each year, there is no pass mark, and the result is not a condition for secondary-school enrolment. The official papers are written in Serbian or in the Language of the Bosniak People; this bank is an English-language MCQ study adaptation, not an official translation.
