Candidates are given a maximum of 8 points to graduate from high school.

Students who win prizes in provincial and national competitions are given bonus points...

The new point in the Draft Regulations on organizing the national high school exam announced by the Ministry of Education and Training on the afternoon of December 18 is that the Ministry of Education and Training will use a 20-point scale in the 2015 national high school exam.

The 20-point scale is applied to all 8 subjects: Math, Literature, History, Geography, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Foreign Language.

Candidates review the exam

Associate Professor, Dr. Mai Van Trinh, Director of the Department of Testing and Education Quality Assessment (Ministry of Education and Training), said that the use of the 20-point scale has two purposes: to consider high school graduation, and at the same time to serve as a basis for universities and colleges to use in enrollment.

In order to help universities and colleges select candidates that are suitable for their current diverse resources, training quality, reputation and class, the exam results must have a high degree of differentiation.

To achieve differentiation, the quality of the test plays an important role, while the invigilation and grading are also factors that directly affect the test results of candidates. Therefore, expanding from a 10-point scale to a 20-point scale will help the grading work differentiate the test results of candidates in more detail, supporting the admission process of schools. For the above reasons, the Ministry of Education and Training advocates using a 20-point scale in the national high school exam.

The special point in the 2015 national high school exam is that the Ministry of Education and Training calculates the Encouragement score to consider recognizing graduation for candidates up to a maximum score of 8 points.
