In 2026, the percentage of participants in the national multi-subject test who failed to meet the passing score in Ukrainian language and Ukrainian history increased. This was reported by Serhiy Babak, chairman of the parliamentary Committee on Education.
According to him, 1.65% of applicants failed to meet the passing score in Ukrainian language this year, compared to 0.36% in 2025 and 0.40%in 2024. For the History of Ukraine section, the rate rose to 0.38%, compared to 0.15% last year and 0.10% in 2024.
At the same time, results in mathematics improved. In 2026, 10.67% of test-takers failed the math test, compared to 10.84% in 2025 and 11.72%in 2024.
Overall, the percentage of applicants who failed to meet the passing threshold in at least one subject has remained nearly unchanged for the third consecutive year—12.96% in 2026 compared to 12.36% in 2025 and 13.23% in 2024.
Among the elective subjects, English has traditionally been the most popular—it was chosen by 31.49% of participants. It is followed by geography (31.22%), biology (21.17%), and Ukrainian literature (10.88%).
Participants were also reminded of an important rule: if an applicant arrives late at the testing center, they will not be allowed to take the NMT. Therefore, the organizers urge participants to arrive early so they can complete all necessary procedures without rushing before the test begins. This was reported bythe Ukrainian Center for Educational Quality Assessment(UCEQA).
Participants in the main sessions of the National Multidisciplinary Test can now view their official results in their personal accounts.
