    In Japan, O stands for "correct" and X (or a tick) for "incorrect" when grading a test etc, while in western countries, X is usually used to mark something (checkboxes, etc), so my guess is they changed it for that reason.

    I've never seen a tick being used for marking the wrong answer outside Japan. You also usually use X to select something (=mark it as correct), not O. And they have a triangle to indicate "half-correctness"
