Moscow students who took the OGE (Main State Exam) in biology had their scores adjusted after an initial error caused some to receive zero points for a correctly answered question. The Moscow Center for the Quality of Education (MCQE) acknowledged the incorrect display of points for some participants and has since updated the results to reflect accurate scoring.

The students initially reported that they received lower grades than expected, despite answering task number 18 correctly. This task required matching items between two columns and entering the answer in a table. The incorrect scores caused anxiety among students, as the OGE results are important for college admissions and transfers to specialized 10th-grade programs.

Several students shared their frustration, noting that they had prepared extensively for the exam and were confident in their answers. One student, Sofia, mentioned that she had memorized the task and verified her answer after the exam, only to find she received zero points. Another student, Daria, expressed disappointment as the incorrect score affected her chances of getting into veterinary school.

The Department of Education and Science of the City of Moscow addressed the issue, assuring the ninth-graders that the error had been corrected. The updated results now reflect the accurate scores for those who answered task number 18 correctly. The students confirmed that their data had been updated and that they had received the points they deserved.
