These tests aim to enable outstanding students to skip an entire academic year and advance to higher grades. The ministry explained that applicants undergo rigorous scientific and achievement assessments supervised by specialized committees, and successful candidates will qualify to take the final exams for the subsequent stage. The process was accompanied by field visits to ensure the tests proceed according to established guidelines, aiming to provide an optimal examination environment.
