Test

Something has been changing in the university entrance exams and it became obvious this year: Students are being asked to use their critical faculties more and rely less on memorization.

Greek Police said it has dismantled a criminal network that was paid to help candidates rig the exams for the acquisition of a professional pilot's license.

BIRN spoke to such candidates. They base their testimonies on the fact that these are the only tests to which no objection is allowed, nor are they allowed to inspect what they have written when taking the test.

Another situation raises even more concerns: a candidate may pass the integrity test one year, yet the next year, his integrity "does not satisfy".

A record 3.5 million candidates have applied for the university entrance exams slated for June 17-18, Student Selection and Placement Center (ÖSYM) has announced.

The State Supervisory Board (DDK) will continue to carry out the process of the cancellation of the 2022 Public Personnel Selection Exam (KPSS), which was canceled over fraud allegation, transparently, says Yunus Arıncı, the head of the DDK.

Ljubljana – A total of 5,194 final-year secondary school students or some 95% passed the national school-leaving exam, known as the matura exam, which is close to last year’s 97%. Eighteen students scored all points and three students passed the international matura without losing a single point.

A three-day final exam, a small graduation exam, has begun for more than 64.000 eighth grade students, and future high school students are taking the Serbian language test on the first day.
This year, due to reports of bombs, the number of schools where the test will be organized has been reduced to 522, from 1.260 as planned.

The Higher Education Institutions Exam (YKS) will no longer have a threshold starting from this year, according to a decision by Turkey's Council of Higher Education (YÖK).

The decision concerns 2.5 million students preparing for university entrance exams. The placement score will be calculated by adding the secondary education success score to the exam score of candidates.

Late last night, another 90,000 tests for COVID-19 for students arrived at the warehouse of the Bulgarian Red Cross (BRC), the Ministry of Education announced. Today they are distributed in schools. Thus, the shortage of tests for students from grades 1 to 12, who will return to class on December 6, has been reduced to 60,000.

The promised by the Minister of Health 1 million tests for students turned out to be 168,800.

So many arrived by the end of yesterday, informed this morning the Ministry of Education and Science. Stoycho Katsarov promised journalists the promise for 1 million tests to be submitted yesterday.
