How to correct papers for Baccalaureate 2024, autumn session
The students will solve the papers on the exam papers, and at the end, they will be scanned by the teachers in front of the candidates. After scanning, the papers will be uploaded to a platform and randomly sent to the evaluating teachers. They do not know each other, they are from different counties than the one where the exam was held. The works are anonymized.
How the final grade is calculated
The final grade of the 2024 Baccalaureate exams is calculated as the arithmetic mean with two decimal places of the grades given by the evaluating teachers, without rounding and only if the difference between the grades given by them is less than or equal to one point.
If the difference between the marks awarded by the two evaluators is greater than 1 point, two other evaluators are nominated to correct the papers. After completing the proofreading of the papers, the marks given by each of the four evaluators are transferred to the paper. Then, the final grade is calculated from the 4 (four) grades. After removing the two extreme grades/values, the final grade is calculated as the arithmetic mean to two decimal places, without rounding, of the two central grades/values. The resulting average represents the final grade that is recorded according to the provisions of the procedure.
