2026 Matura Results: How to Appeal

Students awaiting their 2026 high school graduation exam (matura) results will be able to check them online starting Wednesday, July 8th, at 8:30 AM. The Central Examination Commission will release the written exam results on this date, with schools also able to issue diplomas and detailed score reports on the same day.

For students who feel their results do not reflect their expectations or who did not achieve the minimum required points, a clear appeals process is available. After checking their overall scores and individual task results via the ZIU system (ziu.gov.pl), students can request a personal inspection of their exam papers. This review must be scheduled within five working days of the request.

If a student has concerns about how their paper was graded after the inspection, they can submit a formal request for verification of the total points awarded. This request, which must include a justification, should be submitted to the director of the relevant regional examination commission. The verification process is expected to take seven days, with a written response provided to the student within 14 days.

Should the verification not yield a satisfactory outcome, students have a final recourse: appealing the verified score to the Examination Arbitration Board. This appeal must be submitted through the regional examination commission director within seven days of receiving the verification results. The appeal can only address open-ended questions and requires a substantive justification. The board has 21 days to consider the appeal.
