Да живеят възможностите! :)))
Държавните зрелостни изпити, т.нар. матури, изглеждат едва ли не страшни. Истината е, че те откриват много възможности. Все повече ВУЗ-ове приемат оценките от матурите като оценки от кандидатстудентски изпит. Така избягвате изнервящото и уморително кандидатстване. А ако оценката от матурата не ви устройва – можете все пак да се явите и на изпит. За балообразуваща се приема оценката, която сами посочите. Информация можете да откриете на официалния сайт на МОН.
