The above information was stated by Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Ha, Deputy Director of the Department of Quality Management, Ministry of Education and Training at the workshop on preparing high school graduation exams from 2025 onwards according to the new general education program, on the afternoon of March 11.
The 2025 high school graduation exam will add new multiple-choice test formats, limiting some of the disadvantages of the multiple-choice test format. As a result, the probability of getting points for randomly selected candidates will decrease from 2.5 points to 1.975 points (Math), 2.35 points (Physics, Chemistry, Biology, ...).
True/False multiple choice question format, each question has 4 answers, for each answer the candidate chooses true or false. Regarding scoring, the candidate gets 0.1 point if 1/4 answers are correct, 0.25 points if 2 answers are correct, 0.5 points if 3 answers are correct and 1 point if all 4 answers are correct. This type of question helps to test 4 abilities at the same time in the same question. Combined with the scoring rules, it creates a very high classification.
Conference overview.
Short answer format, including questions in multiple choice short answer format. Candidates fill in the boxes corresponding to their answers. For Math, each correct answer is worth 0.5 points, while other subjects are worth 0.25 points. "The probability of getting a random score is 0, the way of thinking about the test is almost like an essay test," said Mr. Ha.
In general, the 2025 exam structure retains 40 questions (most subjects) but will reduce the number of exam papers, reduce workload, and reduce the risk of printing and combining exam papers.
The Deputy Director also added that the question bank for the 2025 high school graduation exam will be built and randomly selected from the survey questions of the Department of Education and Training, high schools, and even the students' semester exams.
From 2025, the high school graduation exam will be held with 2 compulsory subjects (Math, Literature) and 2 elective subjects out of 9 subjects, including Foreign Languages, History, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Geography, Economic and Legal Education, Information Technology, and Technology.
The sample test according to the new format structure was tested by the Ministry of Education and Training in the following provinces and cities: Hanoi , Hai Phong, Ninh Binh, Gia Lai, Thai Nguyen with nearly 5,000 students participating.
The results of the test format structure test were analyzed according to classical and modern testing theory as recommended by the Educational Testing Service (ETS).
Prof. Dr. Huynh Van Chuong, Director of the Department of Quality Management, Ministry of Education and Training, said that the high school graduation exam from 2025 onwards will continue to determine 3 main goals: to consider high school graduation, evaluate the quality of students through 12 years of general education and be reliable enough for schools to consider university admission.
This principle has been maintained since 2013 in the spirit of Resolution 29 and Resolution 88 to reduce pressure and costs for society, ensure reliability, honesty, and correct assessment of students' abilities, as a basis for vocational education and university education enrollment.
The Director also cited data on the number of candidates using high school graduation exam results for university admission, which still accounts for a high percentage over the years. In particular, the Health Sciences sector and many other sectors still mainly use high school graduation exam results for admission.
The Director further emphasized that the 2025 high school graduation exam will continue to implement decentralization and delegation of authority between local and central levels, in which the Ministry of Education and Training is responsible for setting questions, preparing the registration system for candidates, issuing regulations and monitoring. The remaining localities will be responsible for organizing, printing, grading and ensuring exam security.
In particular, the high school graduation exam from 2025 onwards will clearly overcome the situation of rote learning, lopsided learning, and excessive exam preparation in big cities, following a roadmap that gradually approaches the competency assessment exam.
