When will the 2025 high school graduation exam sample questions be announced?

What will the exam format be like?

Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Ha, Deputy Director of the Quality Management Department (Ministry of Education and Training), stated that the 2025 high school graduation exam questions are consistent with the 2018 general education program but also have a continuity aspect because students taking the exam this year will only have studied under the new program for 3 years, while the remaining 9 years will be spent studying under the 2006 general education program.

The new exam format will address several issues, including the need to balance reliability, even across different subjects. "We are actively researching and applying modern testing methods to avoid excessive discrepancies in scores between subjects, such as those in the natural sciences or social sciences," Mr. Ha said.

Regarding the exam question bank, Mr. Ha said that the Ministry of Education and Training leadership has directed that one of the models for building the bank is to develop it from the grassroots level. In November, the Ministry held its first training session for over 3,000 teachers of all subjects in the 2025 high school graduation exam, representing 63 provincial Departments of Education and Training nationwide and several universities heavily involved in the high school graduation exam. This training was conducted by the Educational Testing Service (ETS) of the United States.

More than 3,000 teachers will be the core force to help change the construction of the exam question bank.

Exam format illustration will be announced in the 4th quarter

Responding to press questions about when the sample exam questions for the 2025 high school graduation exam will be released, Mr. Ha said that, in principle, sample questions for the new general education program should only be released when students have reached grade 12. "However, we understand that this is important and serves as a 'guide' for teachers' teaching and students' learning," Mr. Ha said, adding that the Ministry of Education and Training leadership decided to release sample exam questions immediately after testing the format and structure, simulating the structure of the 2025 exam, although the material and content may be from grades 10 and 11.

"Looking at that illustration, we will know what the new assessment method will be like, which competencies need attention and how much content. It is expected that the format and structure of that illustration will be announced in the fourth quarter of this year," said Mr. Ha.

As Thanh Nien reported, on November 28, the Minister of Education and Training signed Decision No. 4068/QD-BGDDT approving the plan to organize the exam and consider recognizing high school graduation from 2025. Accordingly, the Ministry of Education and Training finalized the plan for high school graduation exam with 4 subjects, including 2 compulsory subjects and 2 subjects that candidates can choose.

Specifically, candidates will take compulsory exams in Vietnamese language and literature, mathematics, and two elective subjects from the remaining subjects studied in grade 12 (foreign language, history, physics, chemistry, biology, geography, economics and law education, informatics, technology). The Vietnamese language and literature exam will be in essay format; the remaining subjects will be in multiple-choice format.

From 2025, high school students will take 2 compulsory subjects and 2 elective subjects for their graduation exam.

The content of the high school graduation exam from 2025 will closely follow the goals of the 2018 General Education Program. The exam questions will focus on enhancing capacity assessment, in accordance with the regulations and roadmap for implementing the new program.

The exam is organized nationwide, with the same questions, same sessions, and same time according to regulations of the Ministry of Education and Training.

In the 2025 - 2030 period, maintain the paper-based exam method.

After 2030, computer-based testing will be gradually piloted for multiple-choice subjects in eligible localities (a combination of paper-based and computer-based testing may be implemented). Once all localities nationwide meet the requirements, the high school graduation exam will be conducted on computers for multiple-choice subjects.
