No test content is instructed to "not teach/do/do...", "encourage self-study (read/do/do...), "self-study with guidance (read/do/do...)" for the 9th grade program in Official Dispatch No. 1113/BGDĐT-GDTrH dated March 30, 2020 of the Ministry of Education and Training on instructions for adjusting the content of semester II, school year 2019-2020 (for Literature subject only, in addition to the above requirements, no test content of local program and foreign literature is taken).
However, to ensure the classification of students, the exam will have differentiated questions to select qualified candidates to enter top schools and serve as a basis for admission to specialized schools in the province.
The test requires 4 levels: recognition, understanding, application and advanced application. Of which, recognition and understanding account for 50 - 60% of the total score, application and advanced application account for 40 - 50% of the total score.
Regarding the sample exam of Phan Boi Chau High School for the Gifted, this year there is an additional exam of Informatics for candidates registering for the school's Informatics specialized class, instead of just taking the Math exam like previous years.
