New points of the High School Graduation Exam Regulations from 2025
First: Organize the exam into 3 sessions, including: 1 Literature session, 1 Math session and 1 optional exam session. Candidates will be arranged according to the optional exam combination to optimize the exam room and exam score.
Compared to previous years, 1 exam session and 2 exam subjects will be reduced, thereby reducing pressure and social costs while still ensuring the quality of the exam.
Second: Use a combination of process assessment scores (report cards) and exam results in graduation recognition at a ratio of 50-50. The average report card score of the years is calculated by weight.
Increasing the rate of using process assessment scores (report cards) from 30% to 50% to more closely assess learners' abilities according to the 2018 General Education Program (including many other abilities that the graduation exam does not fully assess).
In addition, the report card scores of grades 10 and 11 are also used (with a smaller weighting than grade 12) instead of only grade 12 as before. This change has the effect of promoting teaching and learning right from when students enter high school.
Third: Foreign language certificates can still be used to exempt from exams in graduation recognition but cannot be converted into 10 points in graduation recognition as before; the graduation score calculation formula does not include foreign language points in this case.
This approach continues to encourage foreign language learning but aims to be more equitable in graduation. For example, previously, students with an IELTS 4.0 certificate were also converted to a score of 10, just like students with an IELTS 8.5 score.
Fourth : Regarding incentive points, eliminate the addition of points for vocational certificates for all candidates; eliminate the addition of points for IT certificates, foreign languages, and intermediate vocational certificates for candidates in Continuing Education.
This content is to be consistent with the 2018 General Education Program, and at the same time create equality because students graduating from formal and continuing education systems are all awarded the same type of graduation certificate.
Fifth: Allow foreign candidates to use Vietnamese language certificates to be exempted from the Literature exam in the recognition of high school graduation.
This content aims to facilitate the recognition of graduation for foreigners studying general education programs in Vietnam while still ensuring basic knowledge of Literature through studying Literature in class and taking exams to obtain Vietnamese language certificates.
Sixth: For the first time, the High School Graduation Exam has an additional method of transporting exam papers from the exam council's location to the exam printing locations of 63 provinces and cities via the encrypted and secure transmission system of the Government Cipher Committee.
