The “Čmrlj” competition in physics is held in the first grade of the secondary school on school level and consists of twenty problems related to different topics in physics but the content is limited to primary school curriculum. In the diploma the results of the “Čmrlj” competition in school year 2016/2017 are analyzed in a similar way the analysis of National assessment of knowledge (NPZ) results. The problems in electricity are studied in more detail. The main objectives of the diploma are to find out which problems are the most difficult for students and which topics are troublesome, to make a general comparison of the “Čmrlj” competition with National assessment of knowledge of physics and to describe in detail the results of the problems in electricity. We conclude that the problems at the “Čmrlj” competition are more difficult than those in the national tests in physics. Thus, the achievements at the “Čmrlj” competition are lower than the results on National assessment of knowledge.
