YEREVAN, JUNE 17, NOYAN TAPAN. 8,095 entrant-school leavers
took the last united final and university entrance examination -
the foreign language examination at 39 test centers of Armenia
and Artsakh on June 17. Out of the indicated number of
examinees, 7,801 took an examination on English, 564 - on
German, 514 - on French, 22 - on Spanish, and 4 persons took an
examination on Italian. The examination lasted 2.5 hours.
The RA minister of education and science Spartak Seyranian
toured some test centers of Yerevan in the morning. In his
words, all the examinations went well, no problems arose, only a
few "lapses" were quickly removed. "The most important thing is
results which will be known in a few days," the minister said.
"The accessibility and quality of tests is taken into
account during their preparation. After an exam, a group of
experts analyses the test at the Evaluation and Test Center
(ETC) in order to find lapses and omissions," the ETC director
Manuk Mkrtchian said. For example, the questions of the last
task in the Russian language examination's 4th version required
a mathematical solution, as a result of which all the 4 answers
were considered as correct. So, according to M. Mkrtchian, 0.25
points were given for all the answers of this task.
The correct answers of today's examination are available at
the website of the ETC and the RA ministry of education and
science since 3 pm.

and entrants from Javakhk will take additional examinations:
