However, caretaker Education Minister Chaturon Chaisang yesterday said only about 330,000 test takers would know their complete scores. About 350,000 students registered for the O-Net (Ordinary National Educational Test) and A-Net (Advanced National Educational Test).

Chaturon said he thought more than 10,000 students failed to show up for the tests, while thousands of other test takers might have encountered problems with their answer sheets.

The O-Net and A-Net scores are extremely important this year, because they are used as the main criteria for admission to universities.

Chaturon said those who found themselves with the unlikely score of zero should immediately contact relevant authorities. He said those who found their scores were lower than what had been shown in the two previous rounds of announcements could also ask to check their answer sheets.

Earlier this month, the National Institute for Education Testing Service (NIETS) twice voided O-Net and A-Net scores because there were so many errors.

Students can check their scores from tomorrow at the following websites:

www.mua.go.th, www.cuas.or.th, www.ntthailand.net, www.chula.ac.th, www.cmu.ac.th, www.nu.ac.th, www.kku.ac.th, www.ku.ac.th,
