Matura Writing Guide

Mock exam

Write a full practice exam under real conditions: pick your tasks, start the clock, then check your texts. At AHS you get two tasks and 120 minutes.

Here is a suggested set: one task of about 400 words and one of about 250 words, in two different text types. Open a task to read all of it, or choose another one. All tasks come from the Task bank.

  1. Task 1Essay~400 words
    School uniforms
  2. Task 2Report~250 words
    School canteen food quality
2 tasks · 120 minutes · no dictionary
120:00

A sensible time split

  1. 65 minTask 1: Essay, about 400 wordsPlanning (5–10 min) included
  2. 40 minTask 2: Report, about 250 wordsPlanning included
  3. 15 minRead through and correct both texts

On the day you choose the order yourself. A time plan stops one task from taking time away from the others.

The real exam has no pause button, so try not to use it either. At AHS no dictionaries are allowed in the exam, not even electronic ones. Put your phone in another room.

When you click “Finish” or the time is up, you can check your texts here, one task at a time.

Free and independent. Not an official document of the BMB. No accounts and no tracking.
