On December 4, the Ministry of Education announced the plan for the 2019 national high school exam. Like two years ago, each province and city will have an exam cluster chaired by the Department of Education, with participating universities coordinating the exam.The results of the national high school exam are used to consider high school graduation and are the basis for university admission.

"The test content is within the high school curriculum, mainly grade 12; ensuring the basic threshold for high school graduation and having appropriate differentiation for universities and vocational education institutions to use as a basis for enrollment," the announcement of the Ministry of Education clearly stated.

The organization process has been adjusted to prevent cheating like in the 2018 National High School Exam, in which local universities did not coordinate to invigilate the exam in their locality. The multiple-choice test is presided over by the university instead of the local Department of Education. The room containing the test cabinets and test papers has 24/7 surveillance cameras, and the data is encrypted to prevent interference with the multiple-choice test.
