The exam council entered the wrong score, the failed candidate became the 'valedictorian of grade 10'

On October 8, Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Dung, Chief Inspector of the Department of Education and Training of Thanh Hoa , said that the case of a 10th grade student of Le Hong Phong High School (Bim Son Town, Thanh Hoa) who passed but failed the 10th grade entrance exam has been inspected and clarified by this unit.

This student was also the valedictorian when the admission scores for grade 10 at Le Hong Phong High School for the 2024-2025 school year were announced.

According to Mr. Dung, after receiving a complaint about a 10th grade student of Le Hong Phong High School achieving an unusually high score in the 10th grade entrance exam for the 2024-2025 school year, while the student's ability was normal, the Thanh Hoa Department of Education and Training Inspectorate inspected and clarified.

Specifically, the 10th grade entrance exam scores of this student when announced as successful (transcript) were: math 8 points; literature 8.5 points; English 6.4 points (all scores without coefficients). However, when tested, the test scores of this candidate only achieved 4.5 points in math; 6.5 points in literature; and 2.4 points in English.

Based on the admission score to Le Hong Phong High School for the 2024-2025 school year, this student does not have enough points to pass the 10th grade. Therefore, the Admissions Council of Le Hong Phong High School has announced that the student did not pass the entrance exam and was forced to stop studying.

Regarding the cause of the above incident, Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Dung said that the inspection team had verified and determined that the cause was due to the scoring team of the Examination Council, Ngoc Lac High School, incorrectly scoring the exam.

Ngoc Lac High School's exam board also explained that the reason for the wrong score was that during the working process, due to work pressure and lack of concentration, the wrong score was recorded.

Members of the Ngoc Lac High School Examination Board also confirmed that the mistake in recording the exam score for the above student was "completely unintentional".
