"Dumb and Dumber. This way you can evaluate the average level of knowledge demonstrated by EIT participants this year. Even dumber – this is about the level of knowledge specifically in mathematics and physics,” the publication says.
As the publication explains, when testing in physics, almost half of the participants (48,1%) scored 12 or less points out of 56 possible (that is, over 78% of their answers were incorrect). And the share of those who scored at least 33 points or more (that is, who were wrong in less than 42% of the answers) was only 7,44%.
In mathematics, 46,6% of assessment participants scored 11 or less points out of 56 possible. And the share of those who were wrong in less than a third of the answers was only 7%.
“In other words, the passing score for getting into the top half among UPE participants in mathematics and physics is so low that you can give incorrect answers to three out of every four questions - and still get into this top half. With this level of knowledge, these “best” then go to universities and are accepted,” the publication says.
