felvételik

Felvételik refers to entrance examinations or admission tests, primarily in the Hungarian education system. These exams are a crucial part of the process for students seeking to gain admission to secondary schools (gymnasiums, vocational schools) and higher education institutions, including universities and colleges. The nature and format of felvételik vary significantly depending on the level of education and the specific institution.

For secondary school admissions, felvételik typically assess a student's knowledge in core subjects such as Hungarian language and literature, and mathematics. The difficulty and specific content are tailored to the chosen type of school, with more academically rigorous institutions often having more demanding exams. In some cases, specialized subjects relevant to a particular school's focus, like foreign languages or sciences, might also be included.

Admission to higher education involves a more complex system of felvételik. Universities set their own admission requirements, which can include entrance exams, a review of high school grades, and sometimes interviews or portfolio submissions. These exams often test advanced knowledge in specialized fields related to the chosen university program. The results of these felvételik, along with other admission criteria, determine whether a student is offered a place. The term encompasses the entire evaluation process designed to select qualified candidates for further studies.
