"The candidates' test scores on the name board and score sheet do not match the scores on the candidates' test papers," said Mr. Dung.

Specifically, the scores on the board are: Math 8, Literature 8.5 and English 6.4. Meanwhile, the scores on the actual exam of the candidate are: Math 4.5, Literature 6.5 and English 2.4.

Thus, the total score of all 3 subjects on the candidate's score sheet is 9.5 points higher than the actual score recorded on the exam. After calculating the total score and re-examining, candidate CTH was not admitted to Le Hong Phong High School for the 2024-2025 school year.

Mr. Dung said that this was an incident during the exam, the cause of the error stemmed from the working process of the review team and the scoring at the Examination Council of Ngoc Lac High School.

"The scoring and re-scoring team at Ngoc Lac High School's exam board followed all the steps as prescribed. However, due to the pressure and lack of concentration during the work process, the wrong scores were recorded. The responsibility for this mistake lies with the Chairman of the Exam Board and the members of the scoring and re-scoring team," Mr. Dung informed.

According to Mr. Dung, after the incident, the Director of the Department of Education and Training requested the Department of Examination and Education Quality Assessment and Le Hong Phong High School to coordinate in re-enrolling students according to the results recorded on the exam papers of CTH candidates; Ngoc Lac High School organized a review of the responsibilities of relevant groups and individuals for the above-mentioned errors.
