 Compared to the results of FY2018, some public announcements decreased by 12.7 points and all non-publication decreased by 3.7 points, while all public announcements increased by 7.4 points.
Only 57.2 schools, or 588%, said they would publish all the answers to the individual academic ability tests.Partially published was 14.8 schools with 152%, and all were unpublished at 4.8 schools with 49%.
