Key Facts: Slovakia Maturita Informatics Exam

The maturita in informatics consists only of an oral internal examination (ústna forma internej časti, ÚFIČ MS) carried out at a computer.

Each assignment has two tasks weighted 7 : 3: a programming task and a foundations-of-informatics task.

Decree No. 224/2022 Z. z. allows 30 minutes of preparation and 20 minutes of answering for informatics.

Schools prepare at least 30 maturitné zadania from the national target requirements for informatics (Cieľové požiadavky, ŠPÚ 2019).

The target requirements recommend Pascal or Python, and students use the language in which they were taught.

Task 2 must draw on at least three of the five areas of informatics.

The subject examination commission consists of a chair and two examiners.

A final grade of 1–4 passes the subject; the examination is free for enrolled students.

The Slovak maturita in informatics is an oral school examination with a computer: the student solves a programming task and a foundations-of-informatics task (weights 7 : 3), gets 30 minutes to prepare and 20 minutes to answer, and passes with a final grade of 1–4.

Sample Slovakia Maturita Informatics Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the Slovakia Maturita Informatics exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1What is the output of the following Python code snippet? a = 17 b = 5 print(a // b, a % b)
A.3 2
B.3.4 2
C.3 1
D.2 7
Explanation: In Python, the integer floor division operator `//` calculates the quotient rounded down to the nearest integer (17 // 5 = 3). The modulo operator `%` calculates the remainder of integer division (17 % 5 = 2, because 17 = 3 * 5 + 2). Therefore, the output is `3 2`.
2Consider the following sequence of variable assignments in Python: x = 10 x += 6 x *= 2 x //= 4 What is the final value of variable x?
A.6
B.16
C.4
D.8
Explanation: Stepping through each assignment: initially x is 10. `x += 6` updates x to 16. `x *= 2` doubles x to 32. Finally, `x //= 4` performs floor division 32 // 4 = 8.
3What is the truth value of the following Boolean expression in Python? not (5 > 3) or (10 == 2 * 5 and not False)
A.False
B.True
C.None
D.SyntaxError
Explanation: We evaluate by operator precedence: `5 > 3` is True, so `not True` evaluates to False. On the right side of `or`: `10 == 2 * 5` is True, `not False` is True, and `True and True` evaluates to True. Finally, `False or True` evaluates to True.
4According to De Morgan's laws, which of the following expressions is logically equivalent to the negated condition `not (x >= 5 and y < 10)`?
A.x <= 5 and y > 10
B.x < 5 and y >= 10
C.x < 5 or y >= 10
D.not x >= 5 and not y < 10
Explanation: By De Morgan's law, `not (A and B)` is equivalent to `(not A) or (not B)`. The negation of `x >= 5` is `x < 5`, and the negation of `y < 10` is `y >= 10`. Combining them with `or` yields `x < 5 or y >= 10`.
5What is the output of the following Python loop? total = 0 for i in range(1, 10, 2): total += i print(total)
A.25
B.20
C.45
D.16
Explanation: `range(1, 10, 2)` generates odd integers starting at 1, incrementing by 2, and stopping before 10: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9. Summing these values gives 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 = 25.
6What value of count is printed by this nested loop? count = 0 for i in range(4): for j in range(i, 4): count += 1 print(count)
A.16
B.4
C.6
D.10
Explanation: Trace outer loop iterations: when i = 0, j ranges from 0 to 3 (4 times); when i = 1, j ranges from 1 to 3 (3 times); when i = 2, j ranges from 2 to 3 (2 times); when i = 3, j ranges from 3 to 3 (1 time). The total number of executions is 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 10.
7What is printed by the following Python program featuring break and continue? s = 0 for n in range(1, 8): if n % 2 == 0: continue if n > 5: break s += n print(s)
A.4
B.9
C.16
D.1
Explanation: Iterating n from 1 through 7: for n = 1, s becomes 1. For n = 2, `continue` skips the iteration. For n = 3, s becomes 1 + 3 = 4. For n = 4, `continue` skips. For n = 5, 5 > 5 is False, so s becomes 4 + 5 = 9. For n = 6, `continue` skips. For n = 7, 7 > 5 is True, triggering `break` and terminating the loop. The printed output is 9.
8What will be printed when the following while loop finishes execution? x = 1 while x < 15: x *= 2 print(x)
A.15
B.8
C.16
D.14
Explanation: Trace values of x: initially 1. Iteration 1: 1 < 15 is True, x becomes 2. Iteration 2: 2 < 15 is True, x becomes 4. Iteration 3: 4 < 15 is True, x becomes 8. Iteration 4: 8 < 15 is True, x becomes 16. Next check: 16 < 15 is False, loop exits and 16 is printed.
9Examine this algorithm intended to find how many times an integer `n` can be divided by 2 before becoming less than or equal to 1: n = 40 count = 0 while n > 1: n = n // 2 count += 1 print(count) What is the value of `count` printed?
A.5
B.6
C.4
D.3
Explanation: Trace steps: n = 40; count = 0. Step 1: n = 20, count = 1. Step 2: n = 10, count = 2. Step 3: n = 5, count = 3. Step 4: n = 2, count = 4. Step 5: n = 1, count = 5. Now condition `n > 1` (1 > 1) is False, so the loop terminates. The final count is 5 (which equals floor(log2(40))).
10What is the output of the following Python program containing a custom function? def compute(a, b=3): return (a + 2) * b result = compute(4) print(result)
A.14
B.6
C.24
D.18
Explanation: The function `compute` defines a default parameter `b = 3`. Calling `compute(4)` passes `a = 4` and uses the default `b = 3`. The return expression evaluates `(4 + 2) * 3 = 6 * 3 = 18`.

Slovakia Maturita Informatics: Suggested Study Strategy

1Write and debug many short programs in the language you used in class, since the programming task carries 70% of the grade.
2Practise typical tasks from the catalogue: counting, searching for minima and maxima, processing text and lists, and reading data from files.
3Test your programs on edge cases such as empty input, a single value or division by zero, and be ready to explain why your solution is correct.
4Convert between binary, decimal and hexadecimal and estimate file sizes and transfer times until the calculations are routine.
5Prepare short explanations of how a computer runs a program, how data travels across the internet, and how to protect privacy and avoid malware.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the format of the Slovak maturita in informatics?

Informatics is taken as an oral internal examination (ÚFIČ MS) with a computer. The student draws one of at least 30 maturitné zadania, prepares for 30 minutes and answers for 20 minutes before a subject commission made up of a chair and two examiners. Task 1 is an algorithmic problem solved by programming; task 2 is a cross-cutting problem from the foundations of informatics.

How is the informatics maturita graded?

Each task is graded 1 (výborný) to 5 (nedostatočný). The programming task counts more: the final grade is z = (7·z1 + 3·z2) / 10, 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.

Which programming language and tools can be used?

The student uses the programming language and development environment in which informatics was taught; the 2019 target requirements recommend Pascal or Python, and also mention C++, Java or C#. The computer has internet access and the software used in class. The task states the goal but not the language constructs to use, and choosing suitable constructs is part of the assessment.

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 five areas in the informatics target requirements. It is not an official assignment set or translation and does not simulate the programming task, which you should practise by writing and testing real programs.
