The National Secondary School Academic Competition (hungarian: Országos Középiskolai Tanulmányi Verseny, OKTV) in Hungary is a well-known high-level contest for students aged 15-18 (grades 9-12). They compete in subjects like sciences, IT, math, history, philosophy, Hungarian literature, and foreign languages. Winners often go on to represent Hungary in International Student Olympiads, where they might win gold medals or be named Overall Winners. Top competitors get extra points for university admission, but since the total extra points are limited to 100 and can be gained through less competitive methods, this doesn't give much advantage to the best students in admissions.
