YEREVAN, JUNE 19, NOYAN TAPAN. On June 19, RA President Serzh Sargsyan visited an examination center dislocated at Yerevan State University to get acquainted with the process of united exams in Chemistry and History of Armenian People. As RA Minister of Education and Science Armen Ashotian informed journalists, 1330 and 3572 school leavers, respectively, take united exams in Chemistry and History of Armenian People subjects this year. He also said that this year lower average points were recorded in united exams as compared with the previous year: for instance, 1300 leavers have got an excellent mark in foreign language exam, which is less by 400 as compared with the previous year. Speaking about discontents over examination tests recorded in the past days, A. Ashotian said that an examination test in Armenian Language had a dual answer and four tests in Mathematics had a similar solution, which, however, does not mean that they are "wrong tests." According to the Minister, tests should be just made up more accurately in the future. A. Ashotian also excluded that a "leakage" of tests took place, as in that case an "explosion" of high points would happen, which did not happen.
