In line with the requirements and direction of the new program.

Students need to carefully study the sample exam questions recently released by the Ministry of Education and Training .

The Ministry of Education and Training's early announcement of the sample exam structure facilitates teaching and learning plans and students' review process. Teachers from the Hoc Mai Education System commented: "The content of the sample exam questions contains many new elements, with many practical application and application questions, closely adhering to the spirit of the 2018 General Education Program."

Literature exam: reducing pressure on candidates.

Compared to the sample exam for the high school graduation exam published at the end of December 2023 and the guidelines for testing and evaluation activities of the new curriculum, the sample exam ensures compliance with the criteria regarding the selection of materials and the question matrix.

The reading comprehension section uses a text not found in the textbook, accompanied by 5 questions at 4 levels: recognition – understanding – application – advanced application. The writing section accounts for 60% of the exam, requiring students to write one literary argumentative paragraph and one social commentary essay (approximately 600 words). Compared to the sample exam, the literary argumentative question has changed; from clarifying the characteristics of the genre to analyzing the content. This somewhat reduces the pressure on this year's candidates – the first group of students studying and taking exams under the new curriculum.

Math problems: multiple interdisciplinary problems

The exam structure consists of 3 parts with 34 questions; 12 multiple-choice questions at the knowledge and comprehension level; 4 true/false questions, each with 4 options, arranged from knowledge to application level; and 6 short-answer questions, all at the application level.

The exam has 30% of its questions (12 questions) from the 11th grade curriculum, revolving around topics such as spatial geometry; trigonometry; sequences – arithmetic and geometric progressions; exponents – logarithms; classical probability; and graph theory. Notably, the question in the graph theory section (question 2 – part III) is part of the mathematics curriculum – a topic not required for all students. 70% of the questions (22 questions) are from the 12th grade curriculum and cover all topics.

Regarding difficulty: the exam has 25 questions at the knowledge-comprehension level (accounting for approximately 73%, equivalent to about 6 points). The questions at the application level (accounting for approximately 27%, equivalent to about 4 points) focus on practical, interdisciplinary application problems and belong to the topics of functions, antiderivatives-integrals, probability, spatial geometry, and Oxyz geometry.

Physics topic: enhancing practical applications and hands-on activities.

The exam consists of 40 questions (28 questions) to be completed in 50 minutes, including 18 multiple-choice questions with 4 answer options; 4 true/false questions with 16 sub-questions corresponding to 16 instructions; and 6 short-answer questions. The questions cover three levels of thinking: knowledge, understanding, and application, with a weighting of 45% - 35% - 25%.

The level of thinking is divided into 3 question formats as follows: multiple-choice questions with 18 options (accounting for 45%); true/false questions, each with 4 parts; and short-answer questions with 6 questions (accounting for 15%).

The biggest change in content for the 2025 high school graduation exam in physics compared to previous years is that 100% of the content is from the 12th grade curriculum, with no questions from the 10th and 11th grade curricula. The questions focus on reading comprehension, analysis, and practical experimentation skills, closely adhering to the fundamental principles of physics; at the same time, the questions are linked to contexts with significant practical applications of physics in daily life, science , and technology.

Chemistry exam: few calculation questions

In terms of structure, the sample test consists of 3 sections with 28 questions, equivalent to 40 question prompts. Regarding scope, the test includes 2 questions from the 10th grade curriculum, 2 questions from the 11th grade curriculum; the remaining questions are from the 12th grade curriculum.

Most of the questions are developed from content already covered in the textbook; some are related to specific topics.

In terms of difficulty: approximately 75-80% of the questions are knowledge-comprehension questions, while approximately 20-25% are application-based questions.

The exam wasn't too difficult, but it was quite long; the questions focused on theory and chemical principles, with few calculation-based questions; and it contained many questions related to practical applications.

Biology exam: requires critical thinking skills.

The exam significantly reduces the emphasis on calculations compared to previous trends, requiring students to understand the underlying principles and increasing the assessment of reading comprehension, analytical thinking, and problem-solving skills. To achieve high scores in Biology in the 2025 high school graduation exam, students need to change their study methods to best meet the demands of the exam.

The sample test retains the same number of question types as the old graduation exam (40 question types). The test duration is 50 minutes, consisting of 18 multiple-choice questions with 4 answer options; 4 true/false questions with 16 question types; and 6 short-answer questions.

The exam requires candidates to demonstrate knowledge ranging from recognition and comprehension to application; many questions apply knowledge to real-life situations. The questions demand more critical thinking skills, minimizing non-biological calculation questions.

Regarding question formats: the exam has been reformed, including three new question types; 15% of the questions cover knowledge from grade 11; and 85% of the questions cover knowledge from grade 12.

Overall, the sample test closely adheres to the objective of using the exam results for high school graduation assessment; while also ensuring differentiation to classify candidates.
