Re-evaluation of applications for the 2012 Advanced Level examination will be accepted until February 22 by the Examinations Department, Examinations Commissioner General NMJ Pushpakumara said.

Re-scrutiny of applications of school candidates should be sent to the

Examinations Department through the respective school principals while private candidates should send in their applications directly to the Evaluation Branch of the Examinations Department.

Examinations Department sources state the purpose of the re-scrutiny is to evaluate answers or parts of answers, which have not been evaluated properly and to correct any errors in computation. Therefore, applicants are notified that an upward or downward revision of marks of grade is possible due to the re-scrutiny. The Examinations Department will commence the re-evaluation process after February 22 and the re-evaluated results will probably be issued in March.

“The evaluation process will take a few weeks. However, the results will probably be issued before the end of March,’ an Education Ministry official said. The re-scrutiny of applications of model answer scripts of private candidates will be published on February 5 in the Daily News and Dinamina newspapers.
