Speaking with VietNamNet , Mr. Le Cong So - Principal of Le Van Thiem High School (Hanoi) said that this year, the school has 703 12th grade students participating in the survey test according to the Department's plan, in order to practice and get familiar with the sample test questions in the first high school graduation exam according to the 2018 General Education Program.

"At the Van Xuan High School Examination Council (Long Bien) where I was the Head of the Examination Site, students took the test seriously and in accordance with the regulations. Students' opinions showed that the level of the Math and Literature exams was appropriate for the nature of the practice exam. With such an exam, I predict that getting an average score is not difficult, but getting a good or excellent score is not simple... The exam also had good differentiation," said Mr. So.

He added that through this exam, students will be able to get used to the real exam atmosphere, practice test-taking skills, and operate on multiple-choice test sheets. Instructors will also remind and correct mistakes in writing down registration numbers and exam codes to help students learn from their mistakes.

"The results of this test also help students know their learning ability and supplement their knowledge in the final stage," said Mr. So.

The Hanoi Department of Education and Training said that the structure of the survey test for 12th grade students will follow the regulations on the structure and format of the high school graduation exam from 2025 issued by the Ministry of Education and Training.

The results from the survey will also help schools and teachers accurately assess student quality, adjust effective review plans, and suit each group of students, contributing to improving teaching effectiveness and improving high school graduation exam results.
