The biggest difference in the Literature exam in the 2025 High School Graduation Exam is that the materials for the Reading and Writing questions do not use texts from all three current textbooks.
According to the comments of Doctor of Literature Trinh Thu Tuyet, a teacher of HocmaiEducation System, this is the result of the process of innovation in teaching and learning Literature in high schools according to the 2018 General Education Program - when through reading comprehension texts in Literature textbooks, teachers provide learners with knowledge of genres and Vietnamese, forming reading comprehension, perception, discussion, dialogue skills... so that candidates can independently solve new problems of literature and life in the exam.
This year's official Literature exam closely follows the reference exam structure announced by the Ministry of Education and Training in February. The content of the Reading and Writing questions in the exam are all within the scope of knowledge and skills according to the "Requirements to achieve" of Literature - General Education Program 2018.
Part I Reading Comprehension (4 points) includes 5 questions classified according to cognitive levels.
According to the teacher, questions 1 and 2 are both at the recognition level, in which question 1 requires recognition of the narrator in the text, a knowledge of the narrative genre that is very familiar to students; question 2 requires recognition of the two rivers of Le and Son's hometown, a detail that is present in the content of the text. These are two questions that help candidates with average academic ability to achieve maximum score.
Classification ability mainly appears in questions 3, 4, 5 at the comprehension and application levels when requiring candidates to have depth of thinking and experience.
Question number 3 is a comprehension level question, requiring students to analyze the effect of the comparative rhetorical device in a sentence of the excerpt - this question simultaneously tests the candidates' perception skills, analytical skills and Vietnamese knowledge.
Question number 4 is also a comprehension level question, requiring candidates to analyze the role of a detail in expressing the content of the text.
“This is a question with a relatively good classification ability,” Ms. Trinh Thu Tuyet assessed. Candidates must understand and feel not only the difficult circumstances of life fighting to protect the Fatherland but also feel the camaraderie and solidarity of the soldiers – see the meaning of the details in expressing the theme of the text.
Question number 5 is at the application level, requiring students to apply their literary knowledge, knowledge of life, society... to not only choose the direction of the answer, the way of thinking and logical and accurate arguments, but also demonstrate independent thinking and self-control when analyzing the similarity in meaning in 2 details of 2 texts, seeing the sacred attachment of each person to the lands and skies of the homeland.
"The reading comprehension questions are suitable for students when testing the knowledge and skills of the "Requirements to achieve" of Literature 2018 in the 2018 General Education Program, ensuring cognitive levels and having practical significance for their future lifestyle," the teacher commented.
Part II Writing (6.0 points) also closely follows the sample test format structure of the Ministry of Education and Training.
The argumentative problem of the Literature topic is both close and practical, and touches on the sacred love for the homeland in the soul of every Vietnamese person, especially it can create excitement for students who are preparing to enter a new threshold of life, where they not only cultivate and promote their personal abilities and qualities, but also have to always remind themselves to keep their hearts warm towards their homeland.
Question 1 (2.0 points): The literary argumentation question gives a specific requirement, candidates write a paragraph of about 200 words about an aspect of the problem drawn from the excerpt of the reading comprehension section, analyzing Le's feelings for Son in the text. The requirement in the paragraph writing question is also the main content expressed emotionally in the excerpt of the text; through analyzing Le's feelings for Son, candidates not only feel the content of the excerpt but also practice the skill of analyzing an important aspect of the narrative genre. These are also familiar issues in the program's requirements, which will not be difficult for candidates.
Question 2 (4.0 points): The question of writing a social argumentative essay requires candidates to apply the results of reading comprehension and knowledge of the country's context to write an argumentative essay on the topic: Any homeland's sky is the Fatherland's sky.
"It can be seen that this is a traditional and sacred issue, but it is very up-to-date with the context of the country's construction and development, especially in the "era of rising up", said Ms. Trinh Thu Tuyet. The issue is therefore both close and practical, and touches the very sacred love of the homeland in the soul of every Vietnamese person, especially it can create excitement for students who are preparing to enter a new threshold of life, where they not only cultivate and promote their personal capacity and courage, but also have to always remind themselves to keep a warm heart for their homeland. The idea of the essay is also very suitable for the trend of innovation and integration of the times.
As the opening exam for the 2025 High School Graduation Exam, which is also the first exam of the 2018 General Education Program, the Literature exam has undergone fundamental changes in the direction of approaching students' abilities; ensuring compliance with regulations on the structure and format of the High School Graduation Exam from 2025, closely following the "Requirements to achieve" on knowledge and skills of the Literature subject - General Education Program 2018. From the structure of the exam, the content of the materials to the ways of posing problems in the two parts of Reading and Writing, all show efforts to innovate, bringing many interests, challenges and opportunities for candidates who are eager to learn, explore , have independent thinking and interpretation on issues in literature as well as social life.
"Teachers, students as well as society in general are still waiting for stronger steps in the journey of innovation, waiting for beautiful Literature exams, approaching students' abilities, contributing to forming the necessary abilities and qualities of future generations of Vietnamese people," Ms. Trinh Thu Tuyet expressed her wish.
