The high school graduation exams took place on 26/6 and 27/6, with over 1.16 million students participating. The exam catered to students following both the 2018 and 2006 national high school curricula, resulting in different exam structures and subjects. Of these students, almost 1.14 million followed the 2018 curriculum.
Students are required to take math and Vietnamese literature. They can also choose two subjects from: chemistry, physics, biology, geography, history, economics and law, computer science, technology, and a foreign language (English, German, Russian, Japanese, French, Chinese, or Korean).
Except for Vietnamese literature, which has a written format, all other subjects use a multiple-choice format with three sections, unlike previous years where there was only one type of question. High school graduation exam scores will be released on 16/7.
