Topics at National Assessment 2025, in Romanian. Tips from a teacher for the correct resolution of the requirements. “I do not recommend learning on the purpose of compositions”
On Monday, the national evaluation begins 2025, with the test in Romanian language and literature. They are thus the last days in which the eighth-grade graduates can be prepared. In a dialogue with Hotnews, Professor Cristina Tunegaru made several recommendations for students before the exam. What can I do in the last hours?
On Monday, June 23, the National Assessment 2025 begins for the eighth-grade graduates, with the written test in Romanian language and literature. The exam takes place at 9:00 and lasts two hours.
Romanian language teacher Cristina Tungaru, from School no. 75, sector 3, Bucharest, recommends that students, on the remaining days, focus on simulations made at home, under conditions as close to the real ones.
“To organize their own simulations at home, as far as possible, to follow the conditions on the exam, in the sense that they do not take breaks, not to inspire and to realize themselves where they have difficulties,” the teacher told HotNews.ro.
For these simulations, students can use the topics of previous years or those in national simulations, which are well formulated and in accordance with the exam structure. “It is very important to work these simulations using the topics of previous years, the topics in the national simulations, ie topics formulated according to the model of the exam.”
What to learn in the past few days?
Tungaru points out that it is not the time for complete recapitulation of grammar or literature. Instead, students should focus on the contents they don't yet master.
“During this period, all the contents of literature and grammar can no longer be recap and then the students should fix on those contents that they do not know and prepare very well.”
Tips for compositions
An important emphasis must also be placed on the possible compositions for the exam. The teacher does not recommend the memory of standard texts.
“I do not recommend learning out schemes on the outside, phrases on the outside that you can fill in,” she says. Instead, students should “prove that they understand the texts and that they can implement those few concepts of literary theory.”
It is important for students to know the structure of each type of composition and what elements should include. For example, in characterization, “you should know how to enter the identification data, how to comment on the sequences to highlight the character's features.”
Cristina Tunegaru also mentions the types of compositions most likely to meet in the exam: summary, characterization of a character, presenting the message in lyrical, epic and dramatic texts, narrative composition (letter, journal) and argumentative composition. “For all this, you should go to the exam with a few ideas in mind, if not with a plan and a structure.”
Association Exercise: “The chosen texts must be prepared in advance ”
Another important exercise is the association, where the students must come up with the right texts. “At this moment, the students should prepare the texts they will use for the association and in these texts the values are very good.” The chosen texts must be literary and allow the identification of a relevant common value.
How the Romanian language teacher believes that they will be the subjects
About the difficulty of this year's subjects, the teacher estimates that they will have a medium level, with possible separation elements: “The exam topics are of average difficulty, in Romanian, sometimes slightly increased.” In her opinion, it is useful to have exercises that make the difference between very well trained students and those who have only learned response patterns. “There must be a topic, two, which will make the departure between the medium level and the very good children who worked.”
What to do the day before the exam? “Pause and relaxation ”
The day before the exam, Cristina Tunegaru recommends to the students to stop learning and rest. “It takes a period of relaxation before the exam. Because for them it is the first important and difficult exam.” She suggests them to learn until Saturday after noon and Sunday to completely disconnect: “walk, watch a movie, read a book, have other activities to help them detach from this important event.”
Practical advice: “Keep a stable program, with early awakening ”
On the remaining days, students should work in the morning, to get used to their body and mind with the exam program. “To wake up early, to be morning and to work in the morning those simulations. Not to have a chaotic program.” In this way, on the day of the test, they will be more restful and prepared: “Do not go to the exam tired and sleepy because they could not sleep as they expected.”

Simulation National Assessment 2025. The subjects in the Romanian language and literature
In subject I, A, the students had 9 points to solve, with grid type requirements, in which the students must circle the letter corresponding to the correct answer, or to complete the statements with information identifiable in texts. In point 5, for example, the students had to check if the given statements are false or true, three statements in each text, according to the exam brochns.
Also, the students had three open questions, in points 6, 7 and 8. In point 7, for example, the students had, in a minimum of 30 words, an element of content common to the two texts, capitalizing on a relevant sequence in each text.
In point 8, starting from the text of the journalist Cristina Stefan, from the old Dilema, the students were asked: “Do you think that, once you made a choice, it is good to keep your option, regardless of the situation?”.
Point 9 asks the candidates to associate the poetry “awakening” by Lucian Blaga with another literary text studied in the classroom or read as an additional reading, presenting, in 50 – 100 words, a common value, referring to a relevant sequence in each text.
On the subject of IB, points 1-8 were vocabulary and grammar requirements, the first 4 noted with 2 decks, and the next 4 with 6 points, according to the quoted source.
What topic did they have to solve at part II
At the subject II, noted with 20 points, the students of the eighth grade had to write a text of at least 150 words, in which to present the message of the poem/a significance of the poetry “awakening” by Lucian Blaga.
