Érettségi Olasz: Suggested Study Strategy
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the structure of the Hungarian Érettségi Italian Language exam?
At the intermediate level (középszint / B1), the examination consists of a 180-minute written test divided into four sections: Reading Comprehension (60 min, 33 pts), Language in Use (30 min, 18 pts), Listening Comprehension (30 min, 33 pts), and Writing (60 min, 33 pts), followed by an Oral Examination (15 min, 33 pts, making 150 points total). At the advanced level (emelt szint / B2), the written examination lasts 240 minutes and is followed by a 20-minute oral examination.
What CEFR levels correspond to középszint and emelt szint in Italian?
Középszint (intermediate level) corresponds to CEFR level B1 (independent user threshold). Emelt szint (advanced level) corresponds to CEFR level B2 (vantage), which entails higher grammatical sophistication, knowledge of the subjunctive and conditional moods, complex clause structure, and formal register.
What are the passing criteria and grade boundaries for the Italian Érettségi?
A candidate needs at least 25% overall. At középszint they also need 12% in the written part and 12% in the oral part; at emelt szint they need 12% in each of reading, language in use, listening, writing, and speaking. Középszint grades are 25–39% = 2, 40–59% = 3, 60–79% = 4, and 80–100% = 5. Emelt szint grades are 25–32% = 2, 33–46% = 3, 47–59% = 4, and 60–100% = 5.
Are dictionaries permitted during the Italian Érettségi examination?
During the written examination at középszint and emelt szint, printed bilingual dictionaries (olasz-magyar / magyar-olasz kéziszótár) are permitted ONLY during the Writing (Íráskészség / Produzione scritta) section. They are strictly prohibited during Reading Comprehension, Language in Use, and Listening Comprehension.
How are past tense choices (passato prossimo vs imperfetto) tested?
The exam heavily tests aspectual distinctions in the 'Nyelvhelyesség' and 'Íráskészség' sections. Passato prossimo is used for pinpointed, completed events or actions with defined temporal limits, while imperfetto describes ongoing habitual states, concurrent background actions (often with 'mentre'), physical/psychological descriptions, and continuous past states.
Where can official past Hungarian Érettségi Italian exams be found?
All previous official examination papers, audio recordings, transcripts, and marking keys (javítási-értékelési útmutató) from 2005 to the present are freely available in the official archives of the Oktatási Hivatal at oktatas.hu.
