Mock National Mathematics Exam at GTU

A mock national mathematics exam was held at the Examination Center of Georgian Technical University, organized by the Faculty of Informatics and Control Systems, in which 220 applicants participated.

The initiative aimed to recreate examination conditions as closely as possible to the actual national exams, allowing participants to evaluate their knowledge and strengthen their test-taking skills.

According to the Dean of the Faculty of Informatics and Control Systems at GTU, the participants were offered simulated mathematics tests, which were prepared according to the exam test samples officially published by the National Center for Assessment and Examinations. As Professor Taliko Zhvania states, the examination fully replicated the format and procedures of the national exams, helping applicants familiarize themselves with the testing environment and improve their time-management skills.

“We are pleased that 220 applicants participated in the simulated national exam in mathematics. We have been conducting exams of this format for the third year. Simulated exams give young people the opportunity to test their knowledge in a real exam environment before the Unified National Exams, better assess their readiness, and gain important practical experience.

It is important for us to create conditions for applicants that are as close as possible to the real environment of national exams. That is why the tests were prepared based on samples officially published by the National Center for Assessment and Examinations, and the exam was held in a specially organized university exam space.

Mathematics is one of the fundamental disciplines for both engineering and technological fields. We want to help future students not only prepare for exams, but also develop skills that will be useful in their future professional activities.

I would like to thank the University Examination Center, faculty staff, and all participants for their active involvement. Special thanks to the Niko Muskhelishvili Research Institute of Computational Mathematics of the Georgian Technical University, where the mock exam tests were compiled and processed. We are confident that the experience gained will help applicants successfully pass the national exams”.

According to the head of the Niko Muskhelishvili Institute of Computational Mathematics at GTU, mock examinations provide students with an opportunity to objectively assess their strengths and weaknesses, identify areas requiring additional preparation, and improve their readiness for national exams. As Professor Vakhtang Kvaratskhelia states, it is especially important for the research institute to interest young people in mathematics, because the future of the country’s scientific, technological, and innovative development depends on them.

“Conducting simulated national mathematics exams is an important educational initiative that significantly contributes to the development of self-assessment skills and the effective planning of the examination process. In the process of working on the simulated exam, special attention was paid not only to formal compliance but also to ensuring that the tests were oriented towards the assessment of analytical thinking, logical reasoning, and problem-solving skills.

Mathematics is a universal language through which a person learns to discover patterns, analyze complex processes, and make well-founded decisions. Mathematical thinking develops logic, accuracy, a culture of argumentation, and intellectual discipline, which are necessary in engineering and technological fields, as well as in economics, medicine, social sciences, and modern research activities.

Today, when the world is rapidly developing in the direction of artificial intelligence, data science, cybersecurity, digital technologies, and high technologies, the role of mathematics is even more growing. It is practically impossible to train a competitive specialist in these fields without a mathematical foundation. That is why we should consider teaching mathematics not as a means to pass an exam, but as a basis for future professional and scientific success.

We are pleased that for the third year already we have the opportunity to contribute to the implementation of this important educational project.”
