The information was released by the Ministry of Education and Training in a report on July 1 about the 2025 high school graduation exam.

According to the Ministry of Education and Training, the 2025 high school graduation exam has met the goals set out in Resolution 29: "Correctly assessing students' abilities, serving as a basis for vocationaleducation and university education admissions".

Accordingly, the exam has increased the number of questions that are differentiated. According to the Ministry of Education and Training, this is to limit the shortcomings of previous years, when the exam had few questions to classify students, leading to difficulties in enrollment, forcing many higher education institutions to organize their own exams, causing costs and wasting social resources.

Regarding the content of the exam, the Ministry of Education and Training affirmed that it did not exceed the requirements of the 2018 General Education Program. The ratio of thinking levels (related to difficulty) closely followed the published reference questions; had differentiation and was based on testing results in 3 regions.

According to the Ministry of Education and Training, the Ministry has developed a number of test questions for large-scale testing with about 12,000 candidates nationwide, including in the most difficult provinces. The test results have been carefully analyzed using modern testing theory and are one of the important bases for the test council to design reference questions to determine the level of the test, ensuring differentiation and meeting the requirements of Resolution 29.

Regarding some information about the difficulty of the exam, especially for the Math and English exams, the Ministry of Education and Training said that there could be many reasons. "However, we need to wait until the exam results are available to determine clearly," the Ministry of Education and Training's report stated. The 2025 high school graduation exam scores will be announced on July 16.

According to the Ministry of Education and Training, in order to meet the requirements of Resolution 29, Conclusion No. 91 of the Central Committee and the challenges posed to the exam work of the 2025 high school graduation exam, the exam has been adjusted many times. Although the exam format and the direction of adjusting the exam work have been announced since 2023, due to the new exam format structure, it is inevitable that teachers and students will be confused with this year's exam.

Regarding the work in the coming time, the Ministry of Education and Training said it will continue to direct, guide and strengthen inspection, examination and supervision to ensure good implementation of the stages of marking exams, comparing exam score data, announcing exam results, reviewing exam papers, considering high school graduation for candidates and university and college admissions in 2025.

In addition, analyze the test results of candidates to have a basis for evaluating the quality of test questions, exams, and teaching and learning nationwide.

At the same time, analyze the adjusted scores between exam subjects to serve the evaluation of exam results of the subjects. According to the Ministry of Education and Training, this is one of the new requirements for organizing high school graduation exams from 2025. Because in addition to ensuring fairness in enrollment, for teaching and learning in the locality, the adjusted scores allow for an objective assessment of the level of progress of each subject when comparing the average graduation exam scores of different subjects in the same locality.

In addition, the Ministry of Education and Training said it will continue to strengthen the direction of innovation in teaching methods, learning methods, testing methods, and assessment of students' learning process, including regular and periodic testing and assessment in the direction of interdisciplinary integration and connection with reality, helping students continue to get used to competency-based assessment.

The 2025 high school graduation exam will take place on June 26-27.

This year, candidates studying the 2018 General Education Program will take two compulsory subjects: Math and Literature, and two elective subjects from the subjects studied in grade 12 (including: Foreign Language, Chemistry, Physics, Biology, History, Geography, Economic and Legal Education, Information Technology, and Technology).
