This five-day trial allows candidates to familiarize themselves with the online system before the official registration period, which runs from 24/4 until 5 p.m. on 5/5.
Local departments of education and high schools have provided candidates with login accounts. Upon logging into the system, candidates are advised to change their password for security purposes before completing the required information, which mirrors the details on a physical registration form.
The Ministry of Education and Training highlights a key change for this year: recent mergers have updated administrative unit codes for provinces and cities. Candidates must ensure they enter these new codes accurately.

The 2026 high school graduation exam will take place over two days, 11/6 and 12/6, involving approximately one million candidates. The Ministry expects to announce results at 8 a.m. on 1/7.
Candidates will undertake four tests: compulsory subjects include math and literature, alongside two elective subjects chosen from: chemistry, physics, biology, geography, history, economic and legal education, informatics, agricultural technology, industrial technology, and a foreign language.
The graduation score calculation formula allocates 50% to exam scores. The candidate's three-year academic record contributes the remaining 50%, with any applicable priority points providing additional support.
