Mathematics (basic syllabus) — matriculation exam: what is assessed
Basic mathematics solutions justified in words and assessed step by step: method, intermediate steps and interpretation of the result.
V1: solutions are written as text and justified in words (e.g. x^2, sqrt). There is no formula editor or graph drawing yet — the emphasis is on assessing method and reasoning.

What the exam assesses
The assessment engine is instructed to grade like a matriculation censor: stricter than school, and weighted towards the evidence the subject expects. In this subject that evidence is: Visible intermediate steps, choosing and justifying the model or formula, use of units, and interpreting and sanity-checking the answer.
Grade boundaries
Indicative boundaries as a percentage of the exam maximum, from recent sittings.
| Grade | At least |
|---|---|
| L | 77 % |
| E | 63 % |
| M | 45 % |
| C | 31 % |
The Matriculation Examination Board sets the real boundaries separately for every sitting. These are a reference point for practice, not a promise.
What to revise
Every module has its own revision page: the core content, and how it turns into points.

Frequently asked
- How should I prepare for the Mathematics (basic syllabus) exam?
- Write real exam tasks and see how many points your answer would score. Then revise the modules where you lost the most points — the estimate tells you where they went.
- What is assessed in the Mathematics (basic syllabus) exam?
- Visible intermediate steps, choosing and justifying the model or formula, use of units, and interpreting and sanity-checking the answer.
- What are the grade boundaries in the Mathematics (basic syllabus) exam?
- Indicatively, at recent sittings: L ≥ 77 %, E ≥ 63 %, M ≥ 45 %, C ≥ 31 % of the exam maximum. The Matriculation Examination Board confirms the boundaries separately for each sitting.
- Can the points of an exam answer be estimated in advance?
- The exact score cannot be known in advance, but an estimate can. Abiboost assesses the answer against the same criteria as a censor and gives a point range plus what would raise it. The final score always comes from the censor.
