Looking from the 10th grade exam, avoid mistakes in the 2025 high school graduation exam

The situations and incidents that candidates encountered in the 10th grade exam are lessons for 12th graders to learn from and have a safe and effective 2025 high school graduation exam.

Don't miss the 2025 high school graduation exam time, don't be late

In the 10th grade exam in Ho Chi Minh City, a candidate made a fatal mistake in the time, causing him to lose his chance to enter a public 10th grade school. On the morning of June 6, during the 10th grade literature exam at the Ly Phong Secondary School exam site in District 5, instead of being present at the exam site at 6:30 like most other candidates, this male student was present at the school gate at around 9:30. While the actual exam time was 8:00. The male student said that he had made a mistake in the exam time, thinking that the time he had to be present on the exam day was the same as the day he completed the exam registration procedures (June 5).

Candidates sent their backpacks, only brought a shirt folder containing personal documents and school supplies into the 10th grade exam room in Ho Chi Minh City recently.

According to the regulations of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Education and Training, candidates who arrive 15 minutes late for the test will not be allowed to take the test. The male student mentioned above was about 90 minutes late for the test. The candidate will not be allowed to take the literature exam and will be considered to have failed the 10th grade public exam.

The above male candidate's fatal time mistake is also a reminder to all candidates who are focusing on the 2025 high school graduation exam which will take place from June 25 to June 27. In addition to focusing on studying, candidates also need to pay attention to getting regular rest, going to bed early, and waking up early so that each person's biological clock is activated and the mind is alert. In particular, on the exam regulations day, the invigilators will definitely pay close attention to the candidates' time on the exam day, and candidates must remember it.

At the same time, parents and relatives of candidates should also be a support and support for their children during these days. They need companions and care, such as reminding their children to go to bed early, wake up early, avoid oversleeping, cook full meals for their children so that they have good health for the exam, and avoid wasting 12 years of studying.

Don't forget compass, pencil, check calculator, ruler carefully

At the 10th grade exam in Ho Chi Minh City, we observed a candidate taking the math exam but was in a panic because he forgot his compass and ruler. For example, at the Hong Bang Secondary School exam site in District 5, a candidate forgot his study tools, but luckily he arrived early. When he realized he forgot his compass and ruler, the volunteer team outside the school gate quickly went to buy them for him, just in time for the exam.

Please check carefully any calculators, study tools, and watches you bring into the exam room.

Mr. Nguyen Long Giao, Principal of Suong Nguyet Anh Secondary School, District 8, reminded candidates to carefully check their personal documents and study materials before the important exam. The night before the exam, they must have everything ready in their shirt folders. In the morning of the exam, they just need to bring it with them. In particular, they must pay attention to checking their calculators, see if they still have batteries, if they are working properly, and if the calculator is the type allowed in the exam room...

In addition, in the recent 10th grade exam in Ho Chi Minh City, there was also a candidate who violated the exam regulations and was suspended from the exam because he wrote documents on a ruler. Therefore, the advice of teachers who work as exam invigilators is that before the exam day, candidates should also check a series of study tools that they will bring into the exam room, it is best to buy a new set to avoid risks.

Because during the learning process, students may accidentally write down math, physics, chemistry formulas... on rulers, squares, pencil cases... and then forget. In the exam room, these formulas can cause candidates to be suspended from the exam, wasting years of studying.

Parents should be companions, standing side by side with their children during important milestones in their lives.
