The high school graduation exam from 2025 will shorten the exam time from the current 4 exam sessions to 3 exam sessions. The exam subjects and exam questions are as announced in the High School Graduation Exam Plan from 2025, specifically:

Add the subjects of Information Technology and Technology (Industry and Agriculture ), which are being tested for the first time in the Exam; add some new types of test questions for multiple-choice subjects (previously there was only one type of multiple-choice test question); increase the differentiation of the test questions for all subjects to achieve the objectives of the Exam as announced in the Exam Plan.

The Ministry of Education and Training emphasized the need to strengthen the application of information technology and digital transformation in the organization of exams, notably: All candidates can register for the exam online (in the previous stage, independent candidates had to submit their applications directly), verify personal information and prioritize exam points through a digital database; test transmission (digitalization) has a new method through the system of the Government Cipher Committee, ensuring speed, security, saving time and costs.

Regarding the organization of exam sites and exam rooms, the following innovations have been made: Exam sites and exam rooms are arranged according to the principle of maximum support for candidates so that they do not have to move exam rooms; students from nearby educational institutions are allowed to be mixed together to organize convenient exam sites for candidates; candidates only take the exam in a single exam room throughout the exam; priority is given to arranging the same exam papers of 2 elective subjects.

In addition, regarding the recognition of high school graduation: Increase the rate of using learning assessment results in grades 10, 11 and 12 to 50% (previously 30% and only using grade 12 results), in order to comprehensively assess the abilities of students studying according to the 2018 General Education Program and increase the effectiveness of achieving many goals of the Exam as announced.

Candidates with foreign language certificates that meet regulations are exempted from the Foreign Language exam, but it is not converted into 10 points in graduation recognition as currently regulated.

The Ministry of Education and Training also added regulations to pilot computer-based exams when conditions are met according to the roadmap as announced in the Exam Plan, gradually piloting from 2027 and when conditions are met, mass implementation after 2030.
