The board said , " The selection of the score institutionalization is a specialized methodology for changing up-and-comers ' crude scores in the various subjects taken by every contender to a typical scale with uniform measurement or units , which is the all around acknowledged system.

" The overall population barely comprehends nor acknowledges why scores ought to be changed and this has been producing discussions and hurling a wide range of unwarranted contentions. It is to be noticed that some ineffectively taught experts think about the change of scores as a self-assertive distribution of baseless scores.

" The issue has been aggravated by applicants whose scores of zero were changed close by other competitors' scores of over zero. Change is for the most part crosswise over board and was not centered around individual up-and-comers.

" Candidates with zero scores incorporate those whose endeavors earned them zero since they didn't find any solution right ; the individuals who devilishly didn't endeavor any question over the span of the assessment just as the individuals who were missing from assessment. "
