The maximum achievement score is 50 points. The candidate's achievement score is calculated based on the total score of valid achievements that the candidate has achieved and declared on the system.

The candidate's bonus points are calculated for other achievements in study and scientific research that are not included in the achievement score; foreign language certificates; awards in culture, arts, physical education and sports; awards for social activities and volunteering for the community that the candidate has validly declared on the system.
