entrance examination, tertiary education, academic failure rates, mathematics

This article reacts to a highly topical issue of the admission procedure process efficiency. Based on the monitoring of the admission procedure strategy, interest in studies and permeation in the first year of study in selected undergraduate Bachelor's degree programmes, the author has recently been trying to answer the question whether the entrance examination is able to guarantee reduction in academic failure rates and increasing number of successful graduates. The parameters are monitored with respect to mathematical study programmes.
