The evaluation of digital skills is done according to the evaluation and marking scale based on the answers provided by each candidate on the exam sheet, as well as the software products obtained by him according to the requirements of the subjects.
Exam structure for the digital skills test
The subject has the following structure:
Form A – with functional connection to the Internet, lasting 15 minutes;
Sheet B – after the interruption of the Internet connection, with a duration of 75 minutes.
The actual working time of the test is 90 minutes, from the moment all candidates in the room have received the topics. 15 minutes are allocated for solving sheet A, but in exceptional situations (for example, temporary interruptions of Internet access) the actual working time can be extended up to 30 minutes, in which case the total time allocated to the test is also extended accordingly. 75 minutes are allocated for solving sheet B. Candidates who refuse to solve the proposed topics are considered to have failed Test D. Exam documents are collected from students at the end of the allotted working time at the latest and no earlier than 30 minutes after the start of the test.
Baccalaureate 2024, autumn session. Scoring the digital skills test
Each teacher examiner awards a score expressed as an integer between 0 and 100. The final score of each candidate is calculated as the arithmetic mean of the scores of the two examiners, rounded to the nearest whole number. In the case of a fraction of 0.50 points, rounding is done in favor of the candidate, to the next higher whole number.
How to determine the level of competence
Depending on the final score obtained, the digital competence level of the candidate is determined, as follows:
0-30 points — novice user;
31-55 points — intermediate user;
56-74 points — advanced user;
75-100 points — experienced user.
The total scores awarded by the two examining teachers, the final score as well as the level of digital competence obtained are written on each candidate’s exam sheet.
The final score as well as the level of digital competence are written on the digital competence certificate of each candidate.
The level of digital competence obtained is written on the back of each candidate’s baccalaureate diploma.
