Armenian Deputy Minister of Education and Science Manuk Mkrtchyan was inquired at a press conference today whether during the school-leaving joint exams 3 hours provided to applicants are enough for taking 80-question tests.

M. Mkrtchyan said the issue has long been discussed and the decision on providing 3 hours has been taken basing on special observations, facts and phenomena. These showed that three hours is the most optimal variant and it is not somebody’s self-will decision.

“During the three years the organizers of the joint exams have been stating that applicants do not work after the first three hours. No work is done during the fourth hour at all. The fourth hour becomes unmanageable and the applicants use it for finding out some answers from hither or thither,” the Deputy Minister explained.
