History exam questions are suitable but also challenging for candidates

According to teachers' assessment, the History exam in the 2025 High School Graduation Exam is suitable for the first candidates taking the exam under the new general education program, but also creates a significant challenge for candidates if they do not master the techniques and methods of taking the exam.

On the morning of June 27, candidates nationwide completed two elective subjects in the final exam session of the 2025 High School Graduation Exam. In this year's exam, History was the elective subject chosen by the most candidates with more than 484,000 students registering.

Commenting on the History exam, Mr. Ho Nhu Hien, a teacher at the Tuyensinh247.com education system, said that in terms of structure, this year's History exam has no change compared to the reference exam previously announced by the Ministry of Education and Training .

Candidates complete the 2025 High School Graduation Exam with an optional exam.

However, in Part I, there is an additional cluster question type, which is a type of question based on a document to answer consecutive questions related to the document. This type of question is close to the university's capacity assessment test.

In general, the test has the same level of difficulty, or even higher than the reference test, with additional application questions to classify university candidates. The test is suitable for testing and evaluating a broad range of high school graduates and meets the need for in-depth differentiation of university candidates.

The test is also suitable for the first candidates taking the test under the new general education program, but it also creates a big challenge for candidates if they do not master the techniques and methods of taking the test.

"It is expected that the score range in 2025 will be average, the highest score achieved will be between 6.5 and 7.5 points, the average score will be equivalent to 2024 at 6.57 points. However, this year there will not be many perfect scores," said Mr. Hien.

Many candidates said that this year's History exam will no longer have "a rain of 10s".

According to Mr. Ho Nhu Hien, the change from 24 to 48 exam codes in the 2025 High School Graduation Exam is a technical change to ensure the safety and security of the exam, without changing the difficulty or ease of the exam. This is a necessary step that should be carried out in all exams and in the following years.
