Summary/Abstract: Obligatory Polish middle school exams taking place just before the end of the last compulsorycommon stage of education provide the opportunity to reveal the level of pupils’ literacy.The acquisition of literacy defines the manner in which reality is perceived and how peopleparticipate in social life. In the article the following problem is addressed: To what degree dothe Polish middle school exams diagnose the literacy of youth and to what extent can theirresults be of use to pedagogues? The analysis of documentation concerning exams from theyears 2012–2016 indicates that the significant skills building literacy fall beyond the scopeof diagnosis or are tested in such a way as to raise doubts. Thus exams provide limitedinformation on the level of young people’s literacy.
