Abitti.dev
What's going on?
Abitti.dev is a collection of open source code used in the Abitti exam system. As the documentation is in English, so is this page.Good news
The digital Finnish Matriculation Examination is getting better and better! Recently the exams have gone through
some new technical improvements (i.e. more user friendly and accessible interface, new assignment types). Thanks to them, the exam format
can now be used in more simple and intuitive way.
Even more good news
The rendering code of the exams, the Exam Engine, is now available as open source for anyone willing to
develop better training exams for students and teachers. By releasing the source code we encourage all
interested technical developers to jump onboard and start creating new training exams that are technically
coherent with the actual Matriculation Examination. Now all potential assignment types can be applied to the
training stage as well.
And finally some great news
By releasing the bright and shiny source code we take the first step towards creating a community that shares an
interest in developing technically better training exams. Thus we can offer better service for both teachers and
students while they are preparing themselves for the big and bold Matriculation Examination.
We are extremely happy to invite you to join us! Feel free to dive into the wonders of the Exam Engine.

ABITTI IS BORN
In 2015, the Matriculation Examination Board wants to offer a possibility for the Examination candidates to
get to know the new digital exam environment.
STEP BY STEP
In 2016–2019, the examination becomes digital exam by exam.

Matriculation Examination Board however is focused on improving the system solely from the point of view of

and Abitti exams, or use its features in their own software.
WINNING COMBO
Teachers get to use better training exams and services, and the Matriculation Examination Board can focus on
the main thing: improving the Examination into its finest version.
BONUS BONUS BONUS
Abitti.dev gathers up a technically orientated crew, where everyone is winning and knowledge is being shared.
Most importantly, education gets better and better. And better.
