Baccalaureate 2024, Digital skills test. Exam structure
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.
How students are assessed
Each examiner awards a score expressed as an integer between 0 and 100. The final score 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.
Depending on the final score obtained, the digital competence level of the candidate is determined, as follows:
– 0-30 points — beginner user;
– 31-55 points — medium level user;
– 56-74 points — advanced user;
– 75-100 points — experienced user.
The total scores awarded by the two examiners, 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 obtained 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.
The obtained results are displayed after the evaluation of all candidates who took Test D on the same day in the respective educational unit, within two working days at the most after taking the test.
