Important changes in the 2025 High School Graduation Exam
The Ministry of Education and Training (MOET) has just announced an important change in the 2025 High School Graduation Exam: the exam will be printed on A3 paper size instead of A4 size like previous years.
The information was shared by Professor Huynh Van Chuong, Director of the Department of Quality Management, Ministry of Education and Training, at the Training Conference on inspection and examination of the 2025 High School Graduation Exam, organized by the Ministry in Hanoi.
According to Mr. Chuong, the previous use of A4 paper size meant that each exam paper usually had 4 to 5 pages, causing difficulties in printing and potentially missing pages. Switching to A3 size will reduce the number of pages, thereby making the printing process more convenient and limiting errors.
The 2025 High School Graduation Exam will take place on June 26 and 27. This is the first year the exam will be held under the 2018 General Education Program.
To ensure fairness, the Ministry of Education and Training will develop two separate sets of exam questions for two groups of candidates: one for students under the 2018 program and one for about 25,000 candidates under the 2006 program. Candidates under the 2006 program will take the exam at separate testing locations.
According to statistics, the 2025 High School Graduation Exam recorded more than 1.16 million candidates registered to take the exam, an increase of about 100,000 students compared to 2024. This increase reflects the increasingly large scale of the exam, while also placing higher requirements on organization and management.
The innovation in the way of printing exam papers is one of the steps to ensure the exam is safe, fair and effective, meeting the requirements of both educational programs.
