Considering the sentence above, here are the following points where I disagree with :
1. In French, if there is a difference in the marking for correct and incorrect answer, it would be "V" for "Vrai" and "F" for "Faux" (meaning "True" and "False" in French) 
2. Nowadays, in France, with the globalization of signs, ✓ is considered as "right" with no doubt.
3. The letter "B" is not used to indicate a correct answer. "B" for "Bon" ("good" in French) is used as a grade or an appreciation about a homework or test. Actually, there are : TB, B and AB respectively for "Très Bien", "Bien" and "Assez bien" (meaning "Very good", "Good" and  "Good enough" in French).
NB : I'm new in Wikipedia. I am going to delete the sentence I'm talking about. If my behaviour is not okay, don't hesitate to go back to the previous version of the article. I'm also okay to discuss about the topic I'm writing about.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by PhilipDangPro (talk • contribs) 15:14, 18 September 2015 (UTC)

message: There reads: In Finnish, ✓ stands for väärin, i.e., "wrong", due to its similarity to a slanted v.
I disagree. In Finland "v" stands for väärin (wrong), and "✓" is mistaken for "v". I'd say that "✓" does not stand for anything in Finland. 109.240.237.2 (talk) 03:01, 6 August 2019 (UTC)

message: "It is common in Swedish schools for a ✓ to indicate that an answer is incorrect"
The source referenced is over 100 years old. Maybe find a source that's more up-to-date? Personally, I grew up in Sweden (admittedly not in 1917, which is when the article was published) and I've never heard of checkmarks being used to indicate that an answer is incorrect.
