New rules for centralized academic testing

New university admission rules come into force in Belarus. The procedure for organizing and conducting centralized academic testing has been amended. According to a governmental decree, now applicants will be able to take four tests instead of three. The optional exam is voluntary. University enrollment decision will be based on the results of three tests. The procedure for leaving the audience during the exam for objective reasons is also spelled out. Another innovation is that the test certificates term of validity has been extended to two years.
