For security reasons, the National Multisubject Test (NMT) will be held in Ukraine for the third year in a row instead of the External Independent Testing (EIT). This type of testing includes four online blocks in various subjects and is conducted within one day, life.pravda reports.

As you know, every year the NMT is supplemented by changes, in particular, in 2024, the history of Ukraine returned to the list of compulsory subjects, and elective subjects - Ukrainian literature and geography - were added.

When will the testing take place this year and what should applicants know? Read on in the article.

NMT 2024: test dates

The main testing session will be held from May 14 to June 25, and the additional session will be held from July 11 to 19. Participants who missed the main session for valid reasons will have the opportunity to take the test during the additional session.

The National Multisubject Test is conducted in one day in four subjects, which is a significant burden for participants, but it is the only way to take the test in the main session. In case of unforeseen circumstances, or in case of absence for valid reasons, participants can take the test during an additional session.

Registration for participation in the NMT lasts from March 14 to April 11, 2024 and is carried out online through the electronic cabinet on the website of the Ukrainian Center for Educational Quality Assessment (UCEQA), as well as through the Diia system.

Each participant will be able to find out the specific date and place of the exam in their electronic account on the website of the UCEQA no later than 10 days before the test.

Where will NMT 2024 be held?

NMT in Ukraine

The National Multisubject Test will be held in temporary examination centers (TECs), which will be located both within Ukraine and abroad. These centers will be located in classrooms of educational institutions equipped with computers with Internet access.

NMT participants will be able to find out the exact address of the exam center through an invitation that will be available in their personal electronic account by May 8 (in the case of the main session). This will be the closest center to the city that the applicant indicated during registration.

On the day of the test, participants should arrive at the test center at 10:00 a.m., and the last acceptable arrival time is 10:50 a.m.

NMT abroad

As for those who were forced to leave the country, they will have the opportunity to take the test in such countries as Poland, Germany, the United Kingdom, the United States and 24 others. The Ukrainian Center for Educational Quality Assessment (UCEQA) is also negotiating with countries such as Spain, Moldova, and the Netherlands to organize testing. The number of countries on this list may increase as negotiations are still ongoing.

NMT for graduates from the occupied territories

Persons from the occupied territories will not be able to take the National Multisubject Test (NMT) in the occupied territories.

However, there is an alternative for applicants from the temporarily occupied territories: they will be able to enter Ukrainian higher education institutions without having to take the NMT. To do this, they will need to conclude an agreement with the educational institution on education within three months of starting their studies. This process will take place under a special procedure aimed at ensuring access to education for all citizens, regardless of their place of residence.

Different specialties have different coefficients for the results of each block of NMT. With the help of these coefficients, you can determine which subjects are more important for admission to a particular specialty.

What should I take with me to the test?

You should have the following with you for the NMT:

📌 Passport, ID-card or international passport (it is advisable to have documents from Diia as well).

📌 Paper or electronic certificate of participation in the NMT (you can download it from your account on the UCEQA website after checking your registration documents).

📌 A pen of any color for taking notes in the draft.

📌 A snack and an unlabeled water bottle.

Attention! It is forbidden to bring any gadgets, such as phones, smartwatches, headphones, calculators, cameras, flash drives, and other electronic equipment to the NMT exam. This is important because in previous years, there have been cases where applicants have tried to use gadgets to cheat, which could lead to the cancellation of their results.

Participants will be able to leave personal belongings that are prohibited during the test in a designated storage area in the classroom. There will be instructors who will talk about organizational issues and provide drafting sheets. You will be able to make any notes on these sheets that you can take with you after the test.

Reference materials, such as math, chemistry, and physics tables, will be available on the work computers in special tabs. However, you will not be allowed to use your own notes during the exam.

Actions during an air raid 

Testing during the air raid will be stopped and will continue only after the air raid is over and participants and staff return to the classrooms. If a test taker has already started testing, they will be able to continue from the same place where they left off.

If the air raid lasts longer than expected, participants will have to take the test in an additional session. Recommendations on time limits during the alert will be provided to test center staff.
