70 exam sites in Nghe An welcome candidates to complete procedures for the High School Graduation Exam

The Examination Council of the Nghe An Department of Education and Training this year has 70 examination sites, with a total of 36,956 candidates registered for the exam, an increase of 67 candidates compared to the previous exam. Of these, 1,266 are independent candidates.

At the examination site of Phan Boi Chau High School for the Gifted, at exactly 2:00 p.m. this afternoon, candidates began entering the examination room to complete the required procedures.

This year, this is one of the locations with the largest number of candidates, with 855 students. In addition to students from the local school, there are also students from Hermann Gmeiner High School, Nguyen Hue High School, and Phuong Hoang High School.

Coming from Hermann Gmeiner High School, candidate Gian Thuy Trang shared: I feel worried about the next 2 exam days because I will use the results of this exam to apply for university. Of the 3 subjects, I think I will do quite well in Literature because I still got 8 points in the mock exams. But I am not very confident in Math and English because my mock exam score is only about 7 points and I hope the questions will be easy so that we have a chance to get a high score.

Previously, this candidate also said that he dreamed of passing the entrance exam to Vinh University to study near his home. Besides, he also applied for direct admission by considering his high school transcripts, but so far no school has announced the results. Therefore, the High School Graduation Exam is an opportunity for him to get closer to his dream.

Phan Boi Chau High School for the Gifted is also one of the top quality exam sites in the province. Before the exam day, many students had passed the university entrance exam, many students were exempted from the exam because they had foreign language certificates. However, with the meaning of an exam marking 12 years of general education, many candidates still have high determination for this exam.

Candidate Tran Quynh Trang - class 12C2, Phan Boi Chau High School for the Gifted said: With an IELTS certificate of 7.5, third prize in the national excellent student exam in History, she applied early and was admitted to the University of Law and the Diplomatic Academy.

However, I still try my best to achieve high results in the High School Graduation Exam. I can also be exempted from the English graduation exam, but I still register for the exam because I want to have more opportunities to apply to university.

This candidate also said that she majored in History and had an advantage in block C. However, in the past, with the desire to be admitted to economic schools, she studied both blocks C and D in parallel. Her choice of block for university admission will be decided after the high school graduation exam and she will register for the group with higher exam scores, Quynh Trang said.

After the first day of procedures, records at the examination sites showed that there were almost no unusual incidents. Some candidates who lost their citizen identification cards or had some minor errors in information were instructed to supplement them promptly or make a commitment.

On the first day of procedures, the invigilators also reviewed the candidates’ responsibilities when taking the exam according to Article 14 of the High School Graduation Exam Regulations. Before that, the invigilators were also trained to recognize and identify cheating devices for filming and transmitting information.

According to this year's exam regulations, the Ministry of Education and Training allows candidates to bring into the exam room: pens, rulers, pencils, erasers, set squares, graphing rulers, drawing tools, handheld calculators without text editing functions and without memory cards; Vietnam Geography Atlas compiled according to the 2006 General Education Program (without markings or writing any other content).

The 2024 high school graduation exam is also the first time the Ministry of Education and Training has included in the exam regulations a list of items "prohibited from being brought into the exam room", including: carbon paper, erasers, alcoholic beverages, weapons and explosives, flammable substances, documents, communication equipment (receiving, broadcasting information, recording audio, video) or containing information for cheating during the exam.

Before entering the examination room, candidates must bring their Exam Card to show to the invigilator; sit in the correct position with their registration number written on it.

Before taking the exam, candidates must write their registration number and information on the exam paper, exam paper, multiple choice answer sheet, and scratch paper. During the time in the exam room, they must maintain order; immediately report to the invigilator if someone else copies their test or intentionally interferes with their test.

In addition, candidates are not allowed to leave the examination room until the end of the multiple-choice test time; for essay tests, candidates are allowed to leave the examination room and examination area when 2/3 of the time has passed, and must submit the test paper, questions, and scratch paper before leaving the examination room.

When the test time is over, stop working immediately. When submitting the written test, clearly state the number of test papers submitted and sign the Test Receipt.

Previously, the Ministry of Education and Training also reminded candidates to follow the exam regulations. In case of any violation of the regulations, candidates will be suspended from the exam. Candidates who are suspended from any exam will receive a score of 0 for that exam and will not be allowed to continue taking the next exams. That means candidates are not eligible to be recognized as high school graduates and will no longer have the opportunity to participate in the university entrance exam this year.
