To learn more about the bonus points, candidates can refer to Article 36 of the National High School Examination Regulations and the High School Graduation Recognition Regulations, which stipulates in detail the priority areas and the bonus points. When registering for graduation recognition, candidates need to fill in information about the priority regime (priority areas and bonus points) in sections 11 and 12 of the High School Graduation Recognition Registration Form.

Priority in admission includes priority by region and priority by subject as specified in Article 7 of the Regulations on admission to full-time university and college for full-time teacher training groups. When registering for the exam, candidates fill in information about priority in admission in sections 17 and 18 of the National High School Exam Registration Form and University and College Admission Form.

Regarding priority areas and priority subjects, every year there are candidates who file complaints. Regarding this issue, the Ministry of Education and Training noted that currently, the addition of priority points in admission includes: Priority by subject and priority by region. In the Admission Regulations, the Admissions Guidelines have provided regulations on the evidence required to enjoy priority by subject; the list of communes and wards enjoying regional priority has been publicly announced on the Ministry's information portal, candidates can refer to it.

Thus, before filling in information about admission priorities, candidates need to read the above documents carefully. In addition, the Ministry's management system has the function of reviewing priority policies for subjects. If candidates fill in incorrect information, the system will automatically adjust it to the correct level. Therefore, when candidates receive a printed copy of their exam registration and admission results, they need to review it carefully before signing the confirmation./.
