Baku. Ilhama Isabalayevaâ€“APA. â€œThe State Commission for Student Admission (SCSA) issued a test bank of 2000. We issued it not as a preparation for the examinations, but introducing it to the pedagogical workers. That test bank amounted to 30 per cent of present one. No any question from that test bank will be used in future examinationsâ€, said Chairwoman of the State Commission for Student Admission Maleyka Abbaszadeh at the press conference on Friday. She noted with regret that tutors used the open test banks to train the university applicants. Abbaszadeh said this was a wrong way and some people issued false test banks in the past period. â€œThe teachers are collecting the test banks and considering that they have a part of the bank. Those tutors, who are saying that they have a test bank and will train you, are training you not correctly. The applicants shouldnâ€™t learn the test exercises by rote and they should master the admission programsâ€. Abbaszadeh said the open test bank might not be used now because of quite number of questions in the closed bank.
