The deadline for candidates to register for the national high school graduation exam is before April 15th.

According to the draft regulations for the national high school graduation exam recently discussed by the Ministry of Education and Training, there are several changes compared to the initial draft.

Specifically, the Ministry of Education and Training plans to organize examination clusters including: inter-provincial clusters (for candidates from at least two provinces) and provincial clusters for candidates taking the exam for high school graduation recognition (in case of a request from the Provincial People's Committee). For particularly disadvantaged areas, the Ministry of Education and Training will coordinate with the Provincial People's Committee to locate suitable examination sites, creating the most favorable conditions for candidates. The Ministry of Education and Training assigns the responsibility of presiding over the examination clusters to universities.

Notably, the deadline for submitting exam registration applications is before April 15th each year (instead of before April 1st). Furthermore, the essay and multiple-choice exams will be graded on a 10-point scale (instead of a 20-point scale) with decimal points up to 0.25; no rounding of scores will be applied. Candidates who meet the eligibility requirements, have not been subject to disciplinary action resulting in exam cancellation or higher, and do not have any exam scores below one point will receive the graduation assessment score specified for each category.
