This year, the mock exam for twelfth graders was improved in a digitized system. The papers were scanned in the presence of the examinee and uploaded into the national system, through which it reached the remedial teachers. The system automatically and randomly forwarded the papers to teachers from other counties. A total of 13,897 teachers corrected papers in the mock exams. They were supposed to finish the essay corrections by March 13, but a corrections teacher didn't just get fifty papers, but 70-80. Presumably, this is why the publication of the results was delayed, as there were still people correcting the papers on the morning of March 15.
