==Overview==
A Bagrut certificate is awarded by the [[Ministry of Education (Israel)|Israeli Ministry of Education]] to students who pass the ministry's required written (and in some cases oral) subject-matter examinations with a passing mark (55% or higher) in each exam. 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]].
