The Ministry of Education and Science has no plans to simplify the National Multidisciplinary Test during the war — Lisovyi
The Ministry of Education and Science has no plans to simplify the National Multidisciplinary Test, despite the wartime conditions.
This was stated by Education Minister Oksen Lisovyi. According to him, the NMT remains accessible to applicants, and statistics show that only a small percentage of participants fail to meet the minimum passing score.
The head of the Ministry of Education and Science emphasized that the test is the same for all applicants and assesses the basic level of knowledge required for admission to higher education institutions.
“The percentage of students who did not pass the NMT with the minimum passing score is extremely low. This indicates that the test is accessible and that it is possible to pass it,” Lisovyi noted.

Earlier, the Ukrainian Center for Educational Quality Assessment commented on the situation in the Odesa region, where participants in the National Multidisciplinary Test spent nearly 13 hours at the testing center due to prolonged air raid alerts. According to the agency, graduates were offered the option to reschedule the exam for an additional session, but they refused and decided to wait until the testing was completed and take the NMT on the same day.
An alternative bill to change the format of the National Multisubject Test (NMT) has been registered in the Verkhovna Rada. The document proposes reducing the number of subjects to be tested from four to three. In this case, mathematics would be an elective subject.
