According to the regulations of the Ministry of Education and Training, the failing score of the high school graduation exam is the minimum score prescribed for the exams and component subjects of the combined exam registered for graduation. If a candidate has a score equal to or lower than the limit score, it is considered a failing score.
The failing score in the 2024 high school graduation exam is 1.0 point on a 10-point scale.
If just one subject in the natural science group (or social science) gets a score of 1 or lower, equal to 1, or 1 of the 3 compulsory subjects (Math, Literature, Foreign Language) gets a score of 1 or lower, equal to 1, then the candidate is not eligible to graduate from high school this year.
This means that candidates cannot use the results of the subject combination with a failing score to apply for university or college admission.
