Why did a high school graduation exam in Lao Cai increase by 7.65 points after the review?

TPO - During the 2025 high school graduation exam review, the Lao Cai Department of Education and Training recorded a special case: a Biology exam increased from 1.1 to 8.75 points, a difference of 7.65 points.

According to the Lao Cai Department of Education and Training, the reason was that the candidate wrote and filled in the wrong test code on the multiple-choice answer sheet compared to the exam paper that was distributed. This caused the multiple-choice scoring system to mismatch the data and give very low scores.

This year, the whole province had 350 exams reviewed, including 11 exams from the 2006 program and 339 exams from the 2018 program. Of these, only two exams had their scores adjusted: the aforementioned Biology exam and one Literature exam, which increased from 6.75 to 7 points. The remaining 348 exams kept the same results.
