Renew
According to the plan to organize exams and consider recognizing high school graduation from 2025 of the Ministry of Education and Training, Literature is the only subject to be tested in the form of essays on paper, other subjects are tested in the form of objective multiple choice tests on paper.
For multiple-choice exams, this year there are a maximum of 3 types of multiple-choice test questions used in the exam, including: Part I, multiple-choice questions (this format has been applied for many years in Vietnam). True/False multiple-choice questions (part II, 4 questions, each question worth 1 point), each question has 4 ideas, candidates must answer True/False for each idea of the question. This format requires candidates to have comprehensive capacity, knowledge and skills to achieve the maximum score. The probability of randomly scoring the maximum score is 1/16, 4 times smaller than the current multiple-choice test format.
Part III, short answer multiple choice questions. This format is similar to the essay question format, and is evaluated through the final results that candidates must fill in on the answer sheet. This format requires candidates to have solid abilities, knowledge and skills, and limits the use of "tricks" to choose answers from confusing options like in multiple choice tests. In multiple choice tests, only Foreign Language tests use multiple choice questions.
To achieve high scores on the 2025 high school graduation exam, in addition to getting used to the new multiple choice question format, teacher Mai Anh Hung believes that the skill of calculating test time is also important. Students can save time and avoid making mistakes that lead to incorrect results.
Concerned about scoring
From the reference questions for the 2025 high school graduation exam of the Ministry of Education and Training, 12th grade students are worried about the new scoring method in the True/False multiple choice question format. Nguyen Thi Tam, a 12th grade student in Nam Dinh, said she was quite pressured and stressed when doing the True/False multiple choice question. Although she was careful and confident with the first 3 choices, she still had to "rack her brain" to choose the 4th correct answer, the most difficult part of the question. If she got just 1 answer wrong, she would only get 0.5/1 point for the entire question. The True/False multiple choice question format has 4 questions, if each answer is wrong, she will lose 50% of her score.
In the True/False multiple choice question format, each question has 4 options (a), (b), (c), (d) and requires candidates to answer all 4 options correctly or incorrectly. If candidates only answer 1 option correctly, they will get 0.1 point; if they answer 2 options correctly, they will get 0.25 points; if they answer 3 options correctly, they will get 0.5 points and if they answer 4 options correctly, they will get 1 point.
Many candidates said that with the last ideas of each True/False multiple choice question, most of them "circled randomly" because this was a difficult idea. But this matter of luck or bad luck determines 50% of the score for each question. If the high school graduation exam from 2024 onwards, the multiple choice subjects only had one type of question and depending on the number of questions in each question, the score scale would be divided equally. Whether the question was easy or difficult, low or high comprehension or application, they would all have the same score. But the calculation method has changed compared to previous years' exams, the scoring method in part II has changed, the score is no longer divided equally by 0.25 for each question, this is somewhat unfair. Students think it will put pressure on candidates taking the exam this year.
Mr. Mai Anh Hung, a teacher at Tran Phu High School, Hoan Kiem, Hanoi, said that with 3 types of multiple choice questions, good candidates can get high scores. But in the True/False section, if candidates are not good enough, they will easily make mistakes. "Many of my students shared that even though they are diligent and have grasped the lesson knowledge, why can't they get high scores on the test? This is not too difficult to understand because there are questions that seem very easy, but when having to choose True/False, candidates are confused and have difficulty," said Mr. Hung.
Therefore, to do well on the test with new multiple choice question formats, according to Mr. Hung, in addition to mastering the knowledge, candidates must systematize the knowledge and build a mind map of the knowledge they need to learn. Mr. Hung shared that it is difficult for 12th grade students to study and take exams with many types of questions. The ability assessment test, the thinking assessment test, and the graduation exam all have their own requirements for knowledge and skills. Sometimes, Mr. Hung feels sorry for the students because they are having a hard time studying to both graduate from high school and apply for university.
Ms. Nguyen Tuyet Thanh, a Geography teacher at Hai Hau A High School, Nam Dinh, said that this year, the High School Graduation Exam Regulations do not allow candidates to bring Atlases into the exam room. Therefore, candidates need to have a firm grasp of basic knowledge. Candidates also need to practice their test-taking skills because the exam has new multiple-choice question formats.
