- 2021: One later report printed grade E as 29,925. The official release says 29,915, which adds up to 72,016.
- 2022: One outlet reported C 19,953 and E 32,459. We use C 19,053 and E 32,450, which add up exactly to 90,950.
- Exact figures for each candidate are published by MoEYS at the exam centres and on moeys.gov.kh. Please tell us if you spot an error.
