Students at Lower-Grad were left without marks on the E.G.E. following controversy over a questionable assignment.
Nizhny Novgorod. June 28. The Daily Buzz - Flubbed Chemistry Test Leaves Hundreds of Students in the Lurch
In a twist of misfortune, hundreds of students from Nizhny Novgorod and various other regions in Russia found themselves at the losing end of a flawed Chemistry EGE. According to the federal Telegram channel Baza, these students lost points due to a bungled question.
The fiasco surrounds question number 34, which demanded graduates to calculate the mass fraction of salt in a sodium carbonate solution. The question presented two possible reactions - the formation of iodine or potassium iodate. Yet, the FPIE keys only considered the first option, thereby penalizing students who correctly answered with the second option. It's as if they were defeated by a riddle meant for Schrödinger's cat.
To add insult to injury, the reaction with potassium iodate is officially listed in the EGE and OGE collections for 2023-2025 - collections that have gone through a methodological review by FPIE itself. It's like the students were expected to solve a conundrum hidden in a secret code book.
In light of the chaos, students have started sending appeals to FPIE, hoping their answers will be rightfully acknowledged. However, their pleas are met with canned responses, instructing them to solve this mess individually by submitting an appeal to the regional commission.

This blunder in the Chemistry EGE has all the drama of a poorly written soap opera, but with real-life consequences for the students involved. The authorities are scrambling to iron out the wrinkles and ensure that these students receive fair evaluations, so their exam results truly reflect their knowledge and skills. Here's hoping they get their acts together before it's too late!
My education and self-development have taken a hit due to the Chemistry EGE fiasco, as I'm not gonna be able to get a job without a fair evaluation. The learning experience has felt like trying to solve Schrödinger's cat riddle or a conundrum hidden in a secret code book, with the authorities' responses only adding to the general news chaos.
