Upon receiving the exam paper, candidates must carefully check the number of pages, printing quality, and content. If any discrepancies are found, such as missing pages, tears, smudges, blurriness, or other unusual signs, candidates must immediately report this to the invigilator within 5 minutes of the start of the exam so that the issue can be resolved.

Throughout the exam, candidates are not allowed to exchange information, copy from others, use unauthorized materials, or engage in any form of cheating. Candidates are only permitted to leave the examination room after completing at least two-thirds of the exam time and must submit all exam papers, question papers, and scratch paper before leaving the room.

The students listened attentively as the exam regulations were explained.

When the signal to end the exam is given, candidates must stop writing immediately, keep their exam papers intact, and complete all procedures for signing and submitting their papers as instructed by the invigilator.

According to the exam schedule, on the morning of June 1st, candidates will take the first exam, Literature; in the afternoon, they will take the Foreign Language exam. On June 2nd, candidates will take the Mathematics exam; those who registered for specialized or integrated 10th grade classes will continue to take the specialized or integrated subjects according to their registered preferences.
