Nghe An: Recorded the first day of registration for the 2023 high school graduation exam

Candidates can register for multiple wishes.

Previously, according to the regulations ofHigh school graduation examIn 2023, from May 4 to 5:00 p.m. on May 13, candidates taking the 2023 high school graduation exam nationwide will begin registering for the exam. In particular, if candidates are studying in grade 12 in the 2022-2023 school year, they will register for the exam online on the Exam Management System (only register for the exam directly in cases of force majeure); independent candidates will register for the exam directly at the exam registration unit prescribed by the Department of Education and Training.

Previously, from April 26 to April 28, high schools nationwide provided candidates studying in grade 12 for the 2022-2023 school year with accounts and passwords to access the Exam Management System. Candidates were allowed to try to register for the exam online on the Exam Management System immediately after being provided with accounts and passwords until April 30.

To register for the exam, candidates log in to the exam management system. Each candidate will be given an account and password by the school. The candidate's account is the citizen identification number or identity card. In case there is no citizen identification card, the candidate's account is the personal identification number issued by the police.

One of the recommendations of the Ministry of Education and Training is that before officially registering for the exam, candidates need to carefully read the sections and instructions for filling out the exam registration form issued by the Ministry. If there are any unclear points, they must ask the registration reception staff for full instructions, to avoid unnecessary mistakes.

At Cua Lo High School, this school year the school has 10 classes with more than 400 12th graders. Before the official registration day, the school's students had 10 days to try registering and get used to logging in, changing passwords and were guided by the school through the registration steps according to regulations. However, since there are nearly 10 days left until the end of registration, on the first day, students are still continuing to consult and consider their wishes. Many candidates said they will wait until the last day to officially register.

After a period of research, many candidates also said that one of the most difficult things about registration is choosing the right choice. Student Hoang Thi Thanh Nhung, class 12A11.2, said: I plan to register 9 choices, including 5 choices for different majors at the Academy of Finance. In addition, I will prioritize schools in the pedagogical block of Mathematics Pedagogy.

Student Nguyen Thi Khanh Huyen, class 12A1.1, has an IELTS certificate of 7.5, third prize in the provincial English proficiency exam, and an excellent academic record. Although she has had many opportunities for direct admission, to increase her chances of admission, Huyen also plans to apply for many options: She will apply to all schools in the North, Central, and South to ensure admission to university. However, she prioritizes her first option to the National Economics University, which will be based on both a foreign language certificate and the score of the graduation exam.

Through research, the number of students registering for several wishes is quite small. For example, student Che Hoang Hai (Cua Lo High School) plans to register for two wishes to enter the university or intermediate level of the People's Police Academy. However, before officially registering, Hai is asking for a copy of his academic records and checking the results of his health examination to see if he meets the requirements to pass the preliminary round. This male student also said: The People's Police Academy has a fairly high entrance fee and few quotas, so I am quite worried. I think if I pass the preliminary round, I will have to try harder to have a better chance of being admitted.

Along with registering their wishes, candidates will also register for combined exams to be considered for high school graduation recognition. However, according to teacher Dang Cong Huan - Vice Principal of Cua Lo High School, registering for subject combinations does not "make it difficult" for candidates because they have been oriented and have early choices to plan their review: Our school has 407 12th grade students but only 122 students registered for the Natural Science subject combination, the rest registered for the Social Science subject combination. There are about 300 students registering for university admission, the rest registered for graduation.

Reserve multiple admission options

Along with registering for the high school graduation exam, many candidates are also starting to request copies of their transcripts to apply for direct admission to universities. For example, at Cua Lo 1 High School, more than 100 students have requested copies of their transcripts in the past 2 weeks. For some other students, registering for the graduation exam is no longer too stressful because they have used additional criteria such as direct admission based on foreign language certificates, taking the results of the competency assessment test or direct admission based on the results of their transcripts.

At Nam Dan 1 High School, this year the school has 511 12th graders and over 90% of students registered for university admission. According to a survey from the beginning of the first semester, the school has 271 students registered for the Social Science subject group exam and 240 students registered for the Natural Science subject group exam. In addition, over 200 students participated in the University Competency Assessment Exam for admission consideration.

Ms. Trinh Thi Dieu Thuy - Principal of the school also said: At this time, the school is accelerating the review for final year students. In addition, teachers also base on the results of the two previous mock tests to differentiate students to review for each group. The school also strengthens career orientation to help students make choices that are suitable for their abilities and aspirations.

To facilitate the candidates in the selection process, since the end of April, Nam Dan 1 High School has printed the instruction sheet and sent it to each class for students to study. The school also assigned the responsibility to the homeroom teacher and the candidate support department to advise each student. For students who do not have a phone or computer, the school supports 2 computer rooms so that students can register for the exam at the school.

To facilitate registration, the Department of Education and Training has also requested that the units registering for the exam need to prepare the necessary facilities and equipment; organize the checking and cross-checking of information of candidates registering for the exam, registering for recognition of high school graduation. In particular, the units pay special attention to information on priority areas, incentive points in considering recognition of high school graduation and information on preferential treatment in university and college admission; organize the storage of registration records of candidates.

In addition, the registration units are responsible for guiding candidates to prepare documents to declare on the registration form on the software (for candidates registering online) or fill in the registration form (for candidates registering directly); review the registration documents for high school graduation recognition to ensure the accuracy of candidate information.

For independent candidates, after submitting the exam registration form, the exam registration unit will provide an account and password to log into the Exam Management System. Candidates need to keep the account information and password provided confidential to log into the Exam Management System from the time of exam registration until viewing exam results, considering recognition of high school graduation, etc.

When registering for the exam, candidates must declare to ensure accurate information about the province, city, high school code... according to regulations. After the registration deadline, candidates are not allowed to change the information about the exam or subject they have registered. The registration units are responsible for reviewing and deciding on the exam conditions of candidates, and absolutely do not accept invalid applications.

The Ministry of Education and Training said it has prepared all software systems and information technology infrastructure for exam registration. The Ministry also has a 24/7 staff to support handling any situations that may arise.

The 2023 high school graduation exam will take place from June 27 to 30. The exam results are expected to be announced on July 18.

In preparation for the 2023 High School Graduation Exam, as planned on May 6 and 7, the Department of Education and Training will organize a quality survey combined with a mock exam for 12th grade students.

Mr. Thai Van Thanh - Director of the Department of Education and Training, Chairman of the Survey Council said: This is an important exam to assess the current situation and orient the adjustment of students' learning activities. At the same time, it helps teachers of schools have the necessary information to improve the content, methods, and forms of teaching organization that teachers are conducting, and to adjust teaching activities appropriately and effectively. In particular, through this exam, students can practice test-taking skills similar to the high school graduation exam, self-assess their own abilities to supplement necessary knowledge, choose appropriate subjects and exam groups, and orient their future careers.
