About the Slovakia Maturita Chemistry Exam
Independent study practice for the maturita in chemistry (maturitná skúška z chémie) in Slovakia. Chemistry is an elective maturita subject taken only as an oral internal examination (ústna forma internej časti, ÚFIČ MS) under the School Act (Zákon č. 245/2008 Z. z.) and Decree No. 224/2022 Z. z. The student draws one of at least 30 school-prepared assignments based on the national target requirements for chemistry (Cieľové požiadavky, ŠPÚ 2019), prepares for 20 minutes and answers for 20 minutes before a commission of a chair and two examiners. Each assignment has three tasks graded 1–5 and weighted 1 : 2 : 2; the third task focuses on the student's laboratory experience or on working with a specialist text. Permitted aids include chemical tables, a simple calculator and molecular models. The 101 practice questions cover all eight catalogue areas. This bank is an English-language, four-option multiple-choice study adaptation for reviewing facts and calculations; it is not an official assignment set or translation and does not simulate the oral examination.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the format of the Slovak maturita in chemistry?
Chemistry is taken only as an oral internal examination (ÚFIČ MS). The student draws one of at least 30 maturitné zadania prepared by the school from the national target requirements, prepares for 20 minutes and answers for 20 minutes before a subject commission made up of a chair and two examiners.
How is the chemistry maturita graded?
Each of the three tasks is graded 1 (výborný) to 5 (nedostatočný). The final grade is the weighted average z = (z1 + 2·z2 + 2·z3) / 5, rounded under Decree No. 224/2022 Z. z. A final grade of 1–4 passes; a student who fails can take a retake (opravná skúška) in a later examination period, usually September or February.
What is the laboratory task and which aids may be used?
Under the 2019 target requirements, task 3 focuses on the student's laboratory experience without a lab report (for example describing a procedure, a calculation linked to an experiment, or discussing results) or on working with a specialist text. The catalogue lists mathematical, physical and chemical tables, a simple calculator with exponential and logarithmic functions, a molecular model kit, and models of crystal lattices and orbitals as aids.
Is this practice bank an official maturita assignment set?
No. This is independent practice by OpenExamPrep: an English-language, four-option multiple-choice study adaptation of the eight areas in the chemistry target requirements. It is not an official assignment set or translation and does not simulate the oral examination.
