While the second and final day of the national Grade 12 exit exams wasn’t entirely free of would-be cheaters, the high-stakes testing was the smoothest yet since the introduction of tough new standards in 2014, officials said.

 

“The candidates understood and obeyed the exam’s regulations,” said Ministry of Education spokesman Ros Salin, adding it had gone “better” than the previous two years.

 

The number of students who experienced health problems, such as dizziness and fainting, ticked up to 26 from just nine the day before, though all but one who fell ill were able to finish the exam.
