At exactly 3:30 p.m. on June 27, independent candidates across the country completed the English exam. This is also the final exam of the 2025 high school graduation exam according to the 2006 General Education Program.
Leaving the exam site of Nguyen Chi Thanh Secondary School (District 12), Thuy Trang excitedly said she was confident of getting a high score in this exam.
"This year's English test wasn't too difficult, I did it very quickly. If it goes well, I can get 8.5 points" - Trang said with a smile.
Last year, Thuy Trang graduated from high school and passed the university entrance exam. However, she felt that the major was not suitable for her, so she decided to try again in this year's exam to find a new university environment.

Candidate Thuy Trang assessed the exam as quite easy and is confident she can get a high score.
The student smiled and breathed a sigh of relief because the English test was within his ability.
Another candidate said the test was relatively easy, somewhat easier than last year's test. After checking the answers with a friend, he excitedly boasted that he could score over 8 points.
Candidates shared that this is the last year to take the exam according to the 2006 General Education Program, so they are very determined for this exam. From next year, candidates will take all subjects according to the 2018 General Education Program.
Mr. Tran Ngoc Huu Phuoc, Head of the English Department at Bui Thi Xuan High School (District 1, Ho Chi Minh City), said that compared to the past 3 years, this year's exam was easier.
Specifically, the English exam for this year's high school graduation exam is relatively easy. The vocabulary and grammar questions are from the 2006 General Education Program's Grade 12 English program. The questions on pronunciation, social communication, and finding errors are simple and do not challenge students. In particular, the 2 reading comprehension passages are of moderate length and difficulty.
"Just by mastering the English knowledge of grade 12 of the 2006 General Education Program, candidates can easily achieve over 8 points" - said Mr. Phuoc.
Ms. Huynh Ngoc Bang Tam, professional management specialist of eTeacher Tutor Company Limited, assessed that this year's English exam has a clear level of differentiation. In particular, the exam is more closely related to reality than a few years ago. Reading passages about high-tech agriculture , sleep or technology applications in life... are topics that are close to reality, so candidates can easily relate. However, the vocabulary in the paragraphs is still quite "heavy", if not practiced carefully, it is easy to get confused.
This year, Ho Chi Minh City has 3 special testing locations reserved for independent candidates, taking the exam according to the old program - General Education Program 2006. These 3 testing locations include: Nguyen Du Secondary School (District 1), Nguyen Chi Thanh Secondary School (District 12), and Tan Binh District Continuing Education Center.
The total number of candidates registered for the foreign language exam is 559. This afternoon, the Department of Education and Training of Ho Chi Minh City recorded 13 absent candidates, a rate of 97.67%.
In the 2025 high school graduation exam, Ho Chi Minh City has 99,578 candidates registered to take part, an increase of 8,891 students compared to last year. Of these, 97,940 candidates will take the exam under the 2018 General Education Program and 1,638 candidates will take the exam under the 2006 General Education Program.
