This is the first year that the high school graduation exam is organized according to the 2018 General Education Program, so the exam questions and review methods are of special interest to candidates.
In particular, the literature subject makes candidates most nervous when there is a big change in the question making process (shown through the sample test): no choice of materials from textbooks in both reading comprehension, social commentary and literary commentary.
"The test does not use materials from the textbook, but depending on the specific requirements of the test, candidates can still use both materials from and outside the textbook as examples and evidence for the arguments presented in the essay," noted Ms. Hoang Anh, a teacher at Chu Van An High School (Tay Ho District, Hanoi ). She also reminded candidates to find reliable sources when researching and choosing to use materials from social networks.
This year, Hanoi is the locality with the largest number of candidates taking the high school graduation exam in the country, with more than 124,000 candidates, an increase of over 15,000 compared to last year. The whole city has 233 exam sites, with nearly 5,000 exam rooms, including 4 exam sites specifically for students studying the 2006 program.
In Ho Chi Minh City, according to statistics from the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Education and Training, the whole city has 99,578 candidates registered for the exam, an increase of 8,891 students compared to 2024. Notably, the number of independent candidates this year increased by 5,000 students.
Of the total number of registered candidates, 97,940 are following the 2018 general education program and 1,638 are following the 2006 program.
The city organized 171 examination sites with 4,242 examination rooms, of which 168 sites were for candidates of the 2018 program (equivalent to 4,180 rooms), and 3 sites for candidates of the 2006 program (62 rooms). Each examination site was arranged with 3 additional spare rooms to handle situations that may arise during the exam.
To ensure exam security, all 171 exam sites will have surveillance cameras installed in the exam storage room, completed by June 19. The camera system will cover the entire exam storage area, fully recording all impacts on these items and continuously storing data, even in the event of a power outage...
