The Bagrut certificate however should not be confused with a [[high school diploma]] (''te'udat g'mar tichon'', {{Lang-he\|תעודת גמר תיכון}}، [[Arabic]]: شهادة انهاء الثانويّة), which is a certificate awarded by the Ministry of Education attesting that a student has completed 12 years of study. Bagrut scores are one of the criteria examined in applications to elite military units and Israeli academic institutions.<ref name=Fulbright>{{Cite web \|url=http://fulbright.org.il/en/?page_id=1286 \|title=Education in Israel \|access-date=2012-12-20 \|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130625074708/http://fulbright.org.il/en/?page_id=1286 \|archive-date=2013-06-25 \|url-status=dead }}</ref> Other criteria include students' high school grades and the [[Psychometric Entrance Test]]. Bagrut exams are frequently compared{{By whom\|date=June 2020}} to the [[New York (state)\|New York State]] [[Regents Examinations]], the [[College Board]]'s [[Advanced Placement]] (AP) tests, the British [[A-level]]s, the German [[Abitur]], and the European [[Matura]].

In most subjects, students may choose the number of units in which they are tested. In order to receive a "full" matriculation certificate, the student must take and pass at least one subject matter exam at the 5-unit level of difficulty and earn a total of at least 2021 combined study units in all bagrut exams taken. Correspondingly, the make-up of students' classes during their high school years is matched to the students' expected units of study in which they will be tested in their bagrut exams. For example, students planning to take the 5-unit mathematics exam will take mathematics courses specifically designed for a 5-unit level of difficulty all throughout their high school careers. 65.5% of Israeli high school 2014 graduates, or other individuals studying for the 2014 exam (usually post-[[Conscription in Israel\|compulsory military service]] persons completing Bagrut requirements later in life in order to apply for higher education) had passed the requirements to be eligible to receive a Bagrut certificate. Of the overall population who was of high school graduation age in 2019, 76.1% were eligible to receive a Bagrut certificate.<ref>{{cite web\|title=Bagrut eligibility information\|url=http://edu.gov.il/owlHeb/Tichon/BechinotVbagruyot/BechinotAbagrut/Pages/entitlement-data-2014.aspx\|publisher=[[Ministry of Education (Israel)\|Israeli Ministry of Education]]\|access-date=28 January 2016\|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160103004041/http://edu.gov.il/owlHeb/Tichon/BechinotVbagruyot/BechinotAbagrut/Pages/entitlement-data-2014.aspx\|archive-date=3 January 2016\|url-status=dead}}</ref> Line 54 ⟶ 56: [[Category:School examinations]] [[Category:Education in Israel]] [[Category:Words and phrases in Modern Hebrew]]
