Be proactive and prepared for the exam with many new points

A notable new point in this year's exam is that candidates will take a test in 4 subjects, including 2 compulsory subjects (Literature, Mathematics) and 2 optional subjects (from the remaining subjects studied in grade 12 including: Foreign Language, History, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Geography, Economic and Legal Education, Information Technology, Technology). The exam not only tests knowledge but focuses more on assessing the ability to apply knowledge in practice; many questions are built from real-life situations in life, science, and society, helping candidates clearly see the connection between the knowledge learned and the world around them.

Vang Chi Thao, Bo Y ethnic group, 12C3 student, Lao Cai Province Boarding High School for Ethnic Minorities, shared: This year, there are only 4 subjects left in the exam, so the pressure is somewhat reduced, but that does not mean that he and his friends are negligent in reviewing. "The exam structure has changed, applying a lot of knowledge and practice, and the scoring regulations have also changed to evaluate students more comprehensively and accurately, so my teachers and my friends have given me detailed instructions to adapt and proactively delve deeper into the teachers' lectures," Thao shared.

With the motto "Students have not taken exams, teachers have not had summer vacation", in recent times, teachers at boarding schools in Lao Cai have always accompanied students, taking care of every meal and sleep, helping them have the best knowledge and mentality to enter the exam.

Students of Lao Cai Province Boarding High School for Ethnic Minorities are diligently studying for the graduation exam.

Mr. Vu Dinh Viet, Vice Principal of Lao Cai Province Boarding High School for Ethnic Minorities, said: This year, the school has 175 12th graders participating in the Graduation Exam. At this time, students focus on reviewing the exam questions; teachers classify and supplement knowledge for each group of students based on their learning results and assessments in previous mock exams.

The new point in this year's exam is that the Literature exam can use materials other than textbooks to assess students' ability to read and understand texts in real-life situations, limiting the situation of rote learning and memorization. Teacher Nguyen Thi Mai, Literature teacher at Lao Cai Province's Boarding Ethnic Minority High School, said that she had to adjust the teaching, testing, assessment and training methods for students, such as focusing on guiding students' skills to grasp the characteristics of the genre; letting students learn a lot of knowledge about society to adapt to the new exam format. The advantage of boarding schools is that students eat, sleep and live at school, so teachers are always ready to support and teach students at any time. In addition to supporting knowledge and allocating reasonable review time in class, teachers often visit and talk to encourage students.

Create the most favorable conditions for students

In the 2025 high school graduation exam, Lao Cai plans to establish an examination council with 27 examination sites and more than 9,200 candidates taking the exam in localities. Mr. Do Minh Tam, Deputy Director of the Departmentof Education and Training of Lao Cai province, said that the Department has developed a plan and requested relevant units to create the most favorable conditions for candidates to confidently enter the exam and achieve high results. In order to create the most favorable conditions for candidates taking the high school graduation exam, Lao Cai directs local authorities and the education sector to coordinate in organizing the exam to ensure seriousness, objectivity, fairness, compliance with regulations, efficiency, absolute safety, reducing pressure and costs.

Due to the mountainous terrain, difficult travel, and complex natural disasters, to ensure the graduation exam is held safely, Lao Cai supports, arranges, and creates accommodation for candidates from far away, gathers candidates from far away to near the exam site before organizing the exam; ensures that no candidates have to skip or miss the exam due to objective reasons (unusual weather, economic difficulties, etc.).

In addition, in order to ensure health care, food safety and hygiene, and disease prevention during the exam period, Lao Cai Department of Health has directed medical units to continuously update the epidemic situation, especially related to the health of candidates and officials participating in the exam.

The Food Safety Department continuously monitors and closely supervises compliance with food safety laws; strengthens propaganda in many forms for target groups to raise awareness and change behaviors that cause food insecurity; absolutely does not allow food poisoning to occur during the exam.
