Your problem is that you not reference the current instance of Form3 , rather than creating a new one, Try:

    Form3 form3;
    public Form6(Form3 form3)
    {
        InitializeComponent();
        this.form3=form3;
    }


 private void L_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
       int result1 = form3.checkBox1.CheckState == CheckState.Checked ? 1 : 0;
       int result2 = form3.checkBox11.CheckState == CheckState.Checked ? 1 : 0;
       //...
       //...   
    }
