How to calculate graduation score

The Ministry of Education and Training stipulates that to consider high school graduation in 2016, the test scores of at least four subjects will be combined with the average score of the entire 12th grade year and priority points.

Specifically, the formula for calculating the 2016 high school graduation admission score is as follows: The graduation admission score is the total score of the 4 exams plus the total incentive points (if any) divided by 4, take this result and add the average score for the entire 12th grade year, then divide by 2. When the admission score result is available, add the priority points (if any).

The graduation score must be 5 points or higher to pass the graduation exam. In case the graduation score is below 5, you will not be able to retake the exam a second or third time but must wait to retake the exam next year.

Similar to 2015, in the 2016 high school graduation exam, the Ministry of Education and Training decided that the failing score was 1. Thus, even if a candidate has a total score of 4 exams to pass the graduation exam, but has one exam with a score of 1, he/she will not be eligible for graduation.

Previously, the 2016 National High School Exam included 8 subjects: Math, Literature, History, Geography, Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Foreign Language.

Subjects: Math, Literature, History, Geography are tested in essay form, test time for each subject is 180 minutes;

Subjects: Physics, Chemistry, Biology are tested in multiple-choice format, each subject lasts 90 minutes; Foreign Language is tested in written and multiple-choice format, each subject lasts 90 minutes.

The 2016 national high school exam scores are expected to be announced by the Examination Councils around July 20, 2016.
