The 2025 high school graduation exam will take place on June 26-27. This is a special exam of historical significance as it is the first year of taking the exam according to the 2018 generaleducation program and ensures the exam for students according to the 2006 general education program.

For candidates taking the 2018 program, instead of taking 6 subjects as before, the number of subjects is reduced to 4, including compulsory math and literature. In addition, students choose 2 subjects they have studied at school (chemistry, physics, biology, geography, history, economic and legal education, information technology, technology and foreign languages).

The official exam in 2025 also brings many notable changes. The number of exam sessions is increased to 2, in particular, each exam room can have up to 5 different subjects.

In addition, the number of exam codes for each subject will double compared to previous years with 48 exam codes (each exam session has 24 exam codes). Previously, the subjects (except literature) only had 24 exam codes.

This is also the largest exam ever, with the participation of more than 1.1 million candidates across 63 provinces and cities, held at 2,493 exam locations with more than 50,000 exam rooms.

It is expected that about 200,000 personnel will be mobilized to participate in the organization of the exam, such as officials, teachers in the education sector, police, military, medical, electricity forces, etc.

The Prime Minister has closely directed and promptly issued many telegrams and directives on the preparation and organization of the exam.

Not only that, organizing the exam poses different challenges and requirements when the exam takes place in the context of the whole country implementing a two-tier local government arrangement.
