The Grade 11 Final Attestation in Kazakhstan is governed by the Model Rules approved by MoES RK Order No. 125 of 18 March 2008, restated by Ministry of Enlightenment Order No. 96 of 2023. Candidates sit five examinations: oral History of Kazakhstan (one ticket of 30, three questions, max 30 points), written algebra and beginnings of analysis (5 astronomical hours), written language of instruction essay (3 hours), written Kazakh/Russian language and literature, and one written elective (physics, chemistry, biology, geography, geometry, world history, law, foreign language, or computer science). Results are converted to a 1-5 mark scale and combined with year marks in a 30/70 ratio to award the Certificate of General Secondary Education (Аттестат об общем среднем образовании, with Altyn Belgi available). There is no candidate sitting fee. This OpenExamPrep resource is an independent 100-question English-language MCQ study adaptation covering core curriculum topics; it is not an official translation or a simulation of the oral ticket or written essay exams.

About the Kazakhstan Grade 11 Attestation Exam

The Grade 11 Final Attestation (11-сынып мемлекеттік бітіру емтихандары / Государственные выпускные экзамены 11 класс) is Kazakhstan's mandatory secondary school-leaving examination for graduating seniors, governed by the Model Rules approved by Order No. 125 of 18 March 2008 of the Minister of Education and Science, restated in full by Order No. 96 of 13 April 2023 of the Minister of Enlightenment. Successful completion confers the Certificate of General Secondary Education (Жалпы орта білім туралы аттестат / Аттестат об общем среднем образовании), including the prestigious Altyn Belgi distinction for top academic achievers. The attestation comprises five papers: an oral History of Kazakhstan examination based on 30 standard tickets, a 5-hour written examination in algebra and beginnings of analysis, a 3-hour essay in the language of instruction, a written examination in the second state language, and one written elective subject.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the Grade 11 Final Attestation and the UNT (ЕНТ)?

The Grade 11 Final Attestation is the school-leaving examination administered by the school examination commission under the Model Rules approved by Order No. 125 (as amended) to award the Certificate of General Secondary Education. The Unified National Testing (UNT / ҰБТ) is administered by the National Testing Center under the Ministry of Science and Higher Education and is used exclusively for university admissions and state educational grant allocation.

Which subjects are tested on the Grade 11 Final Attestation?

Candidates sit five examinations: oral History of Kazakhstan; written algebra and beginnings of analysis; written language of instruction essay; written Kazakh or Russian language and literature (second state language); and one elective subject chosen from physics, chemistry, biology, geography, geometry, world history, fundamentals of law, literature, foreign language, or computer science.

How are final graduation grades determined?

Examination papers are marked in points and converted into grades on a 1-5 mark scale according to published ministerial conversion tables. The final subject grade entered on the certificate combines the examination mark and the annual school mark in a 30/70 ratio (30% exam mark and 70% year mark).

What happens if a student fails one or more graduation exams?

Students who receive an unsatisfactory mark (grade of 2) in one or two subjects are permitted to sit a repeat attestation in those subjects at their own school; the Model Rules leave the re-sit dates to the school, and the repeat papers are prepared by the regional education department. Students failing three or more subjects receive a certificate of completion (справка) rather than the secondary graduation diploma.
