To meet the requirements of organizing exams for two groups of candidates, the Hanoi Department of Education and Training has established 233 exam sites. Of these, 229 are for candidates following the new curriculum and 4 are for candidates following the old curriculum. Hanoi also thoroughly instructed exam invigilators to strictly implement the principles of "3 no, 4 correct, 6 clear".

In which, the “3 nos” include not being negligent or subjective; not being too stressed or pressured; not arbitrarily handling situations beyond one’s authority. The “4 right” is following the regulations and instructions correctly; following the process and procedures; following the correct position and responsibilities; handling situations according to instructions. The “6 clear” are clearly who is doing it; clearly doing the work; clearly having the responsibility; clearly having the authority; clearly having the time; clearly having the results.
