Maktab bosqichlarining oxirida va talaba 36 ta semestrni muvaffaqiyatli tugatgach, u umumiy imtihonni topshiradi, ya’ni “Maktab bosqichlari bo‘yicha umumiy imtihon”. Talaba umumiy imtihonni topshirmasdan ham bosqichni muvaffaqiyatli tugatishi mumkin: prinsipial jihatdan talabaning maktab bosqichlari bo‘yicha umumiy imtihonni topshirishini talab qilmaydigan sanoat va kasb-hunar institutlari ham mavjud.

At the end of the school stages and after the student successfully completes 36 terms, he sits the general exam i.e. “General Examination for the School Stages.” The student can also successfully complete the stage without taking the general exam; there are industrial and vocational institutes that do not in principle require the student’s attaining the general examination for the school stages.

“Umumiy imtihon” har yili ikki marta o‘tkaziladi. Birinchisi har yili Jumodul-avval oyida, ikkinchisi esa Shavvol oyida. Mutaxassislar har yili imtihon topshirish sanasi va imtihon jadvalini belgilaydi. Talaba imtihonni Jumodul-avval oyida yoki Shavvol oyida topshirishni oldindan ro‘yxatdan o‘tish orqali tanlaydi.

- The “General Examination” is held twice every year. The first time in the month of Jumada Al-Awwal every year, and the second time in the month of Shawwal. Experts will assign the date for sitting and timetable of the exam every year. The student chooses whether to sit the exam in the month of Jumada Al-Awwal or Shawwal via his pre-registering for the exam.

Uchinchi bosqich maktab variantlarining har biri uchun alohida imtihonlar o‘tkaziladi. Madaniy, ilmiy, sanoat va boshqa variantlar uchun imtihon mavjud. Har bir variantning o‘ziga xos imtihon jadvali bor.

- Separate exams are held for each of the third school stage options. There is an exam for the cultural, scientific, industrial and other options. Each option has a specific timetable.

Imtihon talaba uchta maktab bosqichida o‘rgangan barcha narsalarni qamrab oladi, lekin talaba oxirgi 6 ta kursda (31-dan 36-gacha) o‘rgangan fanlarga alohida e’tibor qaratiladi.

- The exam covers what the student studied in all the three school stages, but with focus upon the subjects the student studied in the last 6 courses (31 to 36).
