"As I was hurrying to take the exam, my job was not at all difficult," Ms. Almaz told BBC Afaan Oromoo.
Her husband, Tadese Tulu, said that he had to convince the school to allow him to take the exams at the hospital.
In Ethiopia, girls often drop out of high school and return later to finish school.
Ms. Almaz now wants to take a two-year course that will prepare her for university.
She said that she was satisfied with the way the exams went and that her son was doing well.
