Today at 15:30, a live broadcast will be made via the SEC's “Youtube” channel, and responsible employees of the Center and experts will provide explanations regarding the test tasks used in the exam, as well as present the correct answers to closed and codable open-ended tasks. Students can write their questions in the comment section of the live broadcast.

Starting from April 20, the processing of exam protocols and answer sheets will begin at the SEC. Since checking open-ended tasks requiring written answers used in the exams takes time, the results are expected to be announced after 6 weeks.
