The Ministry of Education and Training requires that invigilators for the IT exam must be lecturers or teachers currently teaching IT; invigilators for the foreign language exam must be lecturers or teachers currently teaching foreign languages. This regulation ensures timely handling of situations that arise during the exam.

For the Foreign Language Speaking test, when the system starts recording, candidates must read the test code and question content before answering. Do not read your name, registration number or make any noise to mark the test. If you do, your speech will be considered a violation of the regulations.

Candidates must speak loudly and clearly during the recording; the invigilator must not make any noise while the system is recording. If there is a problem such as power outage or internet connection loss, the examination board will handle it according to the instructions of the Examination Steering Committee.

This year's exam is organized according to Circular 17/2023/TT-BGDDT (promulgating the Regulations on National Excellent Student Exams) and Circular 23/2025/TT-BGDDT (amended and supplemented). Accordingly, each participating unit is allowed to register a maximum of 10 candidates for each subject, while Hanoi is allowed to register a maximum of 20 candidates.

The number of candidates in the merged administrative provinces is increased corresponding to the number of provinces before the merger. For example, Ho Chi Minh City registered 20 candidates before the merger, now it has increased to 40 candidates due to the merger of 2 more provinces.

The new regulations also add specific regulations on facilities and equipment for specific subjects such as Information Technology and Foreign Languages. For Information Technology, candidates will take the exam in a separate room, with computers isolated and not connected to any devices or means inside or outside the exam room.

For the Foreign Language subject, in the written exam, each subject is arranged with a separate exam room, equipped with a CD player and speakers, and at least 2 sets of spare equipment for all exam rooms. The speaking exam is organized according to detailed instructions from the Ministry of Education and Training.
