Fifteen students did not complete the Centralized Examination due to health reasons (in 2025: 6 students). All students received timely qualified assistance.

Nine students were removed from classrooms for using mobile phones and headphones, a multifunctional calculator, and for making changes to the answer sheet after the time had elapsed (none in 2025).

In 2026, conditions were created for 178 participants to complete the Centralized Examination, taking into account the specific illnesses and the need to use mobile devices with health monitoring software: diabetes (99 students), musculoskeletal disorders (28 students), and hearing impairments (51 students). Two visually impaired students were permitted to use scaled answer sheets. Volunteers were organized at all Centralized Examination sites.

Students who did not complete the Centralized Examination due to health reasons or who did not attend the Centralized Examination for valid reasons will be able to complete the Centralized Examination on a reserve day – June 20. They will receive their general secondary education certificate individually and will be able to participate in the admissions campaign.
