Candidates violating the examination rules must have a report made by the invigilator with the signatures of both the invigilator and the candidate. After making the report and publicly announcing it in the examination room, the invigilator must immediately report to the Head of the Examination Center. In case the candidate refuses to sign the report, the report with the signature of the invigilator only still holds legal value.
Reprimand: The reprimand is issued by the invigilator with a report and a public announcement in the examination room. The candidate reprimanded in a specific exam will have 1/4 (25%) of the score of that exam deducted.
Warning: The warning is issued by the invigilator with a report, confiscation of any evidence (if any), clearly stating the handling method in the report, and a public announcement in the examination room. The candidate warned in a specific exam will have 1/2 (50%) of the score of that exam deducted.

Suspension from the exam: The suspension is issued by the invigilator with a report, confiscation of any evidence (if any), reporting to the Head of the Examination Center for decision and public announcement in the examination room. The candidate suspended from the exam in a specific examination will have the score of that exam recorded as (0). The candidate suspended from the exam must leave the examination room immediately after the announcement of the decision by the Head of the Examination Center; they must submit the exam paper and the completed test.
