The centralized exam and centralized testing have started in the Vitebsk region
The examination marathon began with subjects chosen by students. In the Vitebsk region, the CE and CT were held simultaneously at four points. For example, at the Vitebsk State Technological University, where a total of over 2,400 applicants registered this year, reported Ekaterina Goncharova, Deputy Chairman of the organizing committee.
— The largest number of applicants are taking subjects such as mathematics, chemistry, biology, and foreign languages, — she explained. — In particular, about 240 people will take mathematics, as it is required for admission for many specialties.
An hour before the exam, classes accompanied by teachers were actively approaching the university buildings to present their documents without haste and find the necessary аудитории. Although it is difficult to avoid some nervousness on such a day, almost all the students were motivated for success.
— I feel upbeat, I can handle it, I didn't prepare for a whole year for nothing, — said Polina Semenova from Vitebsk Secondary School No. 31 named after V. Khuzhey. The girl was taking chemistry. She plans to enroll in the medical faculty of the medical university on a targeted training basis.
— I am taking mathematics, I am more or less confident in my abilities, — shared Alexander Sochnev from the Vitebsk Cadet School. — I prepared, attended elective classes, and reviewed my notes. I am approaching the exam with a clear head.
The cadet dreams of continuing his studies at the Ryazan Guards Higher Airborne Command School named after V. Margelov.
Chairman of the Vitebsk Regional Control Committee Vladimir Godyatsky, who heads the regional commission for monitoring the preparation and conduct of the admission campaign, emphasized:
— Students should rely solely on their knowledge and not bring any information devices into the examination room. Our controllers are working at every testing site, and we inspected all auditoriums yesterday, so we are ready to ensure safe and fair examinations for students and applicants.
Medical personnel, law enforcement agencies, and control commissions are also ready for the centralized exam and centralized testing to proceed as planned, noted Vladimir Godyatsky.
— We are conducting the centralized testing and centralized exam simultaneously, but in separate streams, — he said. — There is an innovation this year: reserve days are provided for those who violate the rules and are removed. However, these students will only be able to take entrance exams for colleges afterwards.
The Chairman of the Vitebsk Regional Control Committee admitted that he still remembers his own final exams, even though many years have passed since then:
— Of course, there were no such centralized events back then; we took exams quite prosaically: we came to school, wrote an essay, or drew topics and answered. Honestly, I wasn't too worried — I studied well, so it was all quite easy for me. I took my exams at Secondary School No. 30 on Gagarin Street.
Regardless of the grades current graduates receive on the centralized exam, the most important exam is yet to come: how their lives will turn out, believes Vladimir Godyatsky.
— This is, of course, related to good academic performance, but it is more important to be confident, set goals for yourself, and achieve them, — he clarified.
