Grace marks for out-of-syllabus questions in O/L Science exam
It has been decided to award grace marks for several questions of the 2023 (2024) G.C.E. Ordinary Level examination’s Science paper.
The announcement was made in response to concerns raised over alleged irregularities taking place during the O/L examination, where certain questions included in the Science examination paper were found to be out of the syllabus.
The Commissioner General of Examinations Amith Jayasundara stated that grace marks will be given only for the problematic questions in the Science examination paper.
