    YEREVAN, AUGUST 1, NOYAN TAPAN. The Armenian president Serge Sargsian
    on August 1 visited the higher educational institution entrance
    examination center on "Physics" subject. The center is located at the
    State Engineering Univeristy of Armenia. After visiting the center,
    S. Sargsian had a short conversation with parents of university
    entrants.

    The president was accompanied by the RA minister of education and
    science Spartak Seyranian, in whose words, "Physics" examination
    center was chosed as a place to be visited by the president for the
    reason that a lot of university entrants take exams on this subject.

    The minister said that the exams passed well in terms of their
    organization, and in this connection there were no complaints from
    the entrants and their parents. On the other hand, many examination
    commissions did not register the maximum 20 points, and in general
    the number of entrants who received 18-20 points was quite small. The
    number of those to receive 14-14.5 points was the largest one due to
    the fact that as compared with previous years, higher standards of
    examinations were used this year. S. Seyranian expressed an opinion
    that the lowest passing score may be lowered for a number of subjects
    as compared with previous years.

    It was mentioned that unlike the previous years, no cases of expert
    disputes on contents of exam papers were registered this year. "The
    republican commission on entrance examinations is satisfied with
    general objectivity, which is reflected in the low number of complaints
    about exam scores".

    He reminded that the last day of exams is August 4, 3 days after
    which the examination of complaints will be completed, and the contest
    process will start. The minister expressed confidence that the list
    of those who entered the higher educational institutions will be
    published no later than on August 14.

    The chairman of the exam commission on "Physics" Roma Alaverdian said
    that over 2,000 entrants took exams on this subject. The highets score
    was 19.8 points. Those to have received 15-17 points make the largest
    number, and as compared with previous years, the level of knowledge
    of examinees on "Physics" did not change notably. R. Alaverdian also
    underlined a considerable decline in the number of complaints about
    exam scores: about 2% of entrants filed such complaints, and in most
    cases the scores were raised by 1 point.
