They test on the basic (Poziom podstawowy) Matura tier for testing on math problems. In countries with Matura-based education, the basic tier math test is not usually taken by mathematically inclined students—it is just the law that anyone going to a public university has to pass some sort of math exam beforehand. Students who want to study anything where mathematics skills are needed would take the higher tier (Poziom rozszezony). Can someone from Poland confirm this?
A quick estimate of the percentage of high-school students taking the Polish Matura exams is 50%-75%, though. If the number of students taking the higher tier is not too large, then average performance on the basic tier corresponds to essentially average human-level performance on this kind of test.
Note that many students taking the basic math exam only want to pass and not necessarily perform well; and some of the bottom half of the 270k students are taking the exam for the second or third time after failing before.
