6. Giving a score of zero (0) for paper-based or written exams:

The head of the grading board decides to give a score of zero (0) based on a written report from the member of the grading board in the following cases:

7. Candidates who violate the regulations must have a violation record prepared, signed by both the exam room supervisor and the candidate. After preparing the record and publicly announcing it in the exam room, the exam room supervisor must immediately report it to the head of the exam board.

If a candidate refuses to sign the violation record, the exam room supervisor invites two nearby candidates to confirm the incident. If one or both of the invited candidates refuse to sign the confirmation, the exam room supervisor still prepares the violation record and reports it to the head of the exam board for consideration and decision.

8. Candidates who intentionally cause safety issues or disruptions in the exam room, in addition to being suspended and having their exam results invalidated, may also be subject to legal consequences depending on the nature and severity of the violation.

9. Candidates who are officials, or public employees who are suspended from the exam or have their exam results invalidated, will be subject to disciplinary actions according to the laws and regulations regarding officials, and public employees, as determined by the head of the managing authority.
