Note for independent candidates registering for the 2018 National High School Exam

Associate Professor Dr. Tran Van Nghia - Deputy Director of the Department of Testing and Education Quality Assessment, Ministry of Education and Training said that for independent candidates who have graduated from high school, they can register for the exam and apply for admission at the exam registration reception points prescribed by the Department of Education and Training.

Mr. Nghia also noted that when registering for the exam, candidates should only register for subjects and exams that are suitable for the admission regulations of the majors they will apply for. Candidates can register for the component subjects of the combined exam without having to take the entire combined exam like candidates who have not graduated from high school.

In addition, after registering for the exam, candidates need to contact the exam registration reception point to get an account and password to access the system and check personal information, exam registration information, admission registration and system notifications.

I am an independent candidate, registered for the Social Science exam with 2 components: History and Civic Education. After finishing the History exam, can I leave the exam room?

Reply:According to the regulations: if you register for 2 consecutive component exams such as History and Geography, after finishing the geography component, you submit the exam and can leave. However, if you register for History and Civic Education, you must stay in this room after finishing the history exam and wait to take the Civic Education exam.

I am a self-study candidate, graduated from high school in the Central region, currently I am in Ho Chi Minh City, so where will I buy the application form as well as submit the application and take the exam? My wish is to take the exam in Ho Chi Minh City!

Reply:I am a self-study candidate who has graduated from high school, so I am allowed to choose my exam score. Therefore, I can take the exam in Ho Chi Minh City. I will register for the exam and apply for admission at the exam registration reception points specified by the Department of Education and Training of Ho Chi Minh City and receive the Exam Registration Form and apply for admission at that reception point.
