As many as 21 students caught cheating were forced out of the examination halls during the fifth Baccalaureate exam in the subject of one’s choice, which was the last one for most of the twelfth graders, IPN reports.

Director of the Quality Assurance Agency Anatol Topala said the exam was held in good conditions. He called on the candidates who will take the last Baccalaureate exam, in the mother tongue, on June 20 to be honest and upright.

Anatol Topala related an incident that happened in a Baccalaureate center in Chisinau. A girl was banned from entering the examination hall because she was late. She was yet allowed to enter it in several minutes.

In this connection, Anatol Topala urged the candidates who have one more exam to come at the Baccalaureate center before 8:45am as access to the examination hall is banned after the sealed envelope with the tests is opened at 9am.

Based on a decision of the National Exams Commission, all the test papers that will contain answers identical to those placed on social networking sites will be annulled.

In the current Baccalaureate session, 116 candidates were banished from the examination hall after they were caught copying.
