NATIONAL EXAMS HELD AS SCHEDULE EXCEPT IN HUALIEN AND TAITUNG|中醫師等國家考試 除花東考區外照常

With typhoon Nesat approaching, the Ministry of Examination announced on July 28 that the Professional and Technical Exams will still be held in most areas of the island except Hualien and Taitung. Some examinees voiced their strong disapproval, saying this is not fair. In response, the Ministry said the safety of examinees and exam staff is their top priority and that certificates will be issued once examinees reach the score threshold. On July 28, the Ministry of Examination announced the Professional and Technical Exams will still be held in most areas except Hualien and Taitung. The exam in Taipei was held on the morning of July 29, while exams in Hualien and Taitung will be rescheduled. Some examinees questioned whether this is fair to them. ==MISS WANG examinee== We applied for the same exam, but for those who didn't take the exam today, I think they will have more time to prepare and the exam will be different. It's not fair because we took different exams. ==MR HUANG examinee== In my opinion, if the Ministry of Examination decided to suspend the exam, then it should hold up the exams nationwide. Some might think exams should be suspended in the event of contingency, the Ministry said, adding that this is a different story because the exam was not held before the typhoon has made landfall. The safety of examinees and exam staff are its top priority and exams in Hualien and Taitung will be rescheduled, the Ministry said. ==SU CHIU-YUAN Secretary General, Ministry of Examination== If the exams in Hualien and Taitung are to end at 5:40 pm, there will be gusts of wind and pouring rain by then. Examinees and exam staff's safety will be at great risk. Their safety is our top priority. According to the Ministry, the biannual Professional and Technical Exams fall into the category of qualification exams and certificates will be issued if examinees reach the score threshold. It also said the question drafting regulations will take into account the degree of difficulty every time.
