Grade 12 entrance exam preparation with real past papers
The entrance exam decides university placement. Practice your stream's subjects with timed papers built like the real thing, see your score instantly, and learn from every question you miss. It is free.
What the Grade 12 exam is
The Ethiopian University Entrance Examination (EUEE) is the national exam at the end of Grade 12. Students call it the entrance exam or the matric, and its certificate name is the ESSLCE. Your total score across your stream's subjects decides whether you enter university and which programs are open to you.
It is a points game. A handful of extra correct answers across six subjects can move you past a placement cutoff, which is why steady practice aimed at your weakest chapters, under real time pressure, beats cramming in the last month.
Both streams, every subject
Pick natural or social science and practice the subjects your entrance exam actually tests.
- Natural science: English, Mathematics, Aptitude, Physics, Chemistry, Biology
- Social science: English, Mathematics, Aptitude, Geography, History, Economics

Common questions
Is Grade 12 entrance exam practice on Temari free?
Yes. Practice questions, timed mock papers and instant scoring are free with an account. The AI tutor and adaptive learning path are an optional upgrade at 199 ETB per month.
Which subjects does the EUEE cover?
Natural science students sit English, Mathematics, Aptitude, Physics, Chemistry and Biology. Social science students sit English, Mathematics, Aptitude, Geography, History and Economics. Temari covers both streams.
Which years of entrance exam past papers are there?
230 past papers from 1996 to 2018 E.C. across ten subjects, more than 16,000 questions, each with its answer and an explanation. You can practice them by subject and year or sit them on a clock.
Where can I download Grade 12 entrance exam PDFs?
On the past papers page. There are 55 papers from 2005 to 2018 E.C., each free as two PDFs: the question paper, and the answer key with explanations. No account is needed to download them.
Is there a Grade 12 matric app I can download?
Yes. Temari installs from the browser: open temari.et on an Android phone, sign in, and choose Install when the phone offers it. On an iPhone, use Share and then Add to Home Screen. It is free and takes very little storage. It is not on Google Play yet, so an app there with Temari in its name comes from another developer.
What is the best app for matric students in Ethiopia?
It depends on your phone and what you need. Ethio Matric and Exam Galaxy are well-known Android apps with past entrance exams. Temari is free, explains every answer, holds papers from 1996 to 2018 E.C., and works on Android, iPhone and a computer in English, Amharic and Afaan Oromoo. Our blog compares the main apps and platforms side by side, including what each one does well.
How can I see my Grade 12 entrance exam result?
Results come from the Educational Assessment and Examinations Service, and there are three official ways to check: the results portal at result.eaes.et, the EAES Telegram bot (@EAESbot), and a text with your registration number to 6284, which works without internet. Temari does not hold your result. Our results page explains each route and what to do next.
Do I need to attend a school that uses Temari?
No. The exam prep is open to every student in Ethiopia. Sign up free with a phone number and start practicing.
Does it work on slow internet?
Yes. Pages are light and open on a weak connection, and the app you install keeps working when the connection drops.
