High school graduates who took the graduate and centralized Armenian language examinations on June 1 were surprised to see changes in their grades on Monday. In most cases, the grades were raised by one point, without any appeals. Citing the Ministry of Education and Science, according to “A1plus”, the changes were made by the decision of the appeal committee after the discussions of the group of experts adjunct to the committee. Many experts from the Academy of Fine Arts and Yerevan State University and teachers of different schools have analyzed not only the appealed tests, but also the other tasks. The appeal committee has reviewed the grading of the 19th and 22nd tasks of the test. These tasks were what caused the disagreements and appeals of the high school graduates and parents. According to the appeal committee, despite the a19 task having corresponded to the requirement, all four choices of the wrongly formulated answers were graded in favor of the student. Based on that, the grade of each high school graduate has been raised by 0.3 units. In the case of the a22 task, the choices “geraguyn” (supreme) and “khoraguyn” (supreme) are correct. All of the reviewed, final results of the exams have already been published and are no longer subject to double appeal.
