===Poland===
There is one state run central system of examination boards in [[Poland]] called "Centralna Komisja Egzaminacyjna" ("Central Examination Board") established within the new legislation on education issued by Polish [[Sejm of the Republic of Poland|parliament]] in 1998.<ref>{{Cite web|url= http://www.cke.edu.pl/pl/18-o-nas.html|title= About us|work= Central Examination Board official web site|language= pl|access-date= 17 April 2013|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20130419061304/http://www.cke.edu.pl/pl/18-o-nas.html|archive-date= 19 April 2013|url-status= dead}}</ref> The central board has eight regional branches called "Okręgowa Komisja Egzaminacyjna" (OKE) – "Regional Examination Board". All primary and secondary schools and other education institutions in a region are served by the regional OKE. Universities are not part of that system. It is allowed by law to sit an exam in other regional board than the home one, but practically it does not happen. 

Each OKE is responsible for the content and administration of the entrance tests to [[primary school]]s, [[gymnasium (school)|Gymnasium]]s and [[secondary school]]s in accordance to the [[Ministry of National Education of the Republic of Poland|Ministry of Education]] annual guidelines. Final secondary school examination called [[Matura]] (analogous to A Levels) is prepared each year by the Ministry of Education and administered by regional examiners, who are recruited, trained and paid by regional OKE boards. Each regional OKE has an authority to issue an official certificate of an examination.
