Not all students did O-Net
A total of 21,000 students, or 6.4 per cent of all graduating senior high school students across the country, did not take the O-Net exam late last month, records show.
A total of 335,300 students sat for the Ordinary National Educational Test from February 24-25 in Thai, English, social science, mathematics and science, said Prof Uthumphorn Jamornman, director of the National Institute of Education Testing Service (NIETS). Of all 1,568,673 answer sheets, 8,029, or 0.5 per cent, were rejected by automatic scoring machines. The reasons included incomplete test ID numbers or subject codes, wrong numbers or codes, and the use of pens instead of pencils to fill in the answer boxes. The few students who failed to turn off their mobile devices that receive SMS messages at the test centres would not have their answer sheets checked. Answer sheets which could not be scored because of technical errors would be checked manually but the results would not be published. Students would have apply to NIETS for the results.
