It's remarkable that Turkey has organized the  largest amount of spots for writing the dictation. The biggest writing platform for 600 people is organized in Lomonosov Moscow State University branch in Azerbaijan capital.

There are three parts in the test. First on is the terminology section, second checks the ability to work with geographical map, and the third one participants will have to determine geographical objects based on the travellers' notes and literary works' excerpts.

Let us remember, the action was conducted in more than 1500 locations one year ago. About the third of people wrote the test on a best score.

As Russkiy Mir reported earlier, the very first Geographical Dictation showed mediocre results. The medium score was equal to 55%. Most part of the participants didn't reach even a satisfactory evaluation.
