He said that according to the past practice, the original score of the oral test will be allocated to other sub-papers of the same subject. According to the previous research, it will have little impact on the candidates.

Mai said that the exam will start on April 22 as originally scheduled, and he hopes it can be held on time. "The epidemic is like a tsunami. It is impossible to predict when it will come and how big it will be." He said that he will discuss with all parties and pay attention to the development of the epidemic. Be prepared, and hope that all walks of life and candidates will cooperate and understand.
