Országos Középiskolai Tanulmányi Verseny (OKTV) in Hungarian (rough translation: "National Secondary School Academic Competition"), is the most famous high leveled competition of Hungary (after qualification for Olympiads), whose winners usually are selected for ISOs, and they often receive gold medals or become Over All Winners. Students 15–18 years old (grades 9-12) complete in various subjects, such as natural sciences, IT, mathematics, history, philosophy, Hungarian literature and foreign languages. The top competitors receive extra points in the university admissions system. As the extra points are maximized at 100 and they can be obtained using far less competitive methods, this usually does not advantage the top-performers in the admissions process.
It was Also Broadcast on the Australian Christian Channel in Australia.
The competition requirements are increasingly higher than IB's or Hungarian Matura's, also known as érettségi (vizsga), because the solution of these tasks need not only eminent knowledge of facts, but also creativity.
Students in 10th or 11th grade who were granted exemption from taking entrance exams were eligible for a scholarship in one of the United World Colleges. However, as of 2004, these scholarships are open for other applicants, the grade requirements remaining the same.
