This year's exam regulations have added a new point, items that candidates are prohibited from bringing into the exam room include: carbon paper, erasers; alcoholic beverages, weapons and explosives, flammable substances; documents, communication devices or information storage devices used to cheat during the exam.

Many recommendations and proposals of the delegates were answered by representatives of the Ministry of Education and Training.

At the conference, the representative of the Internal Political Security Department (A03) of the Ministry of Public Security also pointed out many devices that candidates often use to cheat in exams.
