Revolting situation at the baccalaureate. A student from Iasi went through great emotions when he learned that he obtained 4.4 in Romanian language and literature, although he knew he deserved a higher note. The brother filed an appeal, and the note increased by almost four points, to 8.25.

The student decided to visualize his work, an option introduced for the first time this year, and to file an appeal. Thus, the note was amended at 8.25, the journalists from BZI shows.
The measure, applied for the first time this year, gave the student the chance to correct an injustice.
The representatives of the Iași County School Inspectorate confirm that the procedure was respected, and the appeal was solved according to the regulations in force.
“Respecting the methodology of the baccalaureate exam, the student requested the reassessment of the work. Other evaluators reassessed the work, applying the evaluation scale”said Antonina Bliorț, spokesman for ISJ Iași.
This year, for the first time, the candidates were able to request to view their work/works before deciding whether to file an appeal. The works were evaluated, as last year, in the digital system, being scanned at the end of each sample, in the presence of the candidates, and loaded in a dedicated platform from where they were later assigned to evaluators from all over the country.
Most of the Romanian appeals were submitted to the Romanian language and literature, the candidates signaling large score differences between the expected note and the one they found when displaying the results before the appeals. The teachers also anticipated a wave of appeals to this discipline.
Of this total, 17.004 appeals concerned notes in the E) a) (Romanian language), 311 appeals in evidence e) b), 11,682 appeals to proof E) c) and 10,737 appeals to proof e) d). In 37,947 of the cases the initial notes were modified (in addition or minus, according to the methodology).
21,803 candidates requested the visualization of the works (7.2% of the total works).
The results registered this year before the appeals are below the last year. According to the data registered in the exam application, the cumulative promotion rate (all promotions) before appeals is 74.3% (76.4% – in the first session of last year).
