For the combined exam of natural sciences and social sciences, how will independent graduates and continuing education students choose their subjects and how will the exam rooms be arranged?

To be considered for graduation recognition, candidates who are 12th grade students of continuing education in the 2016-2017 school year must register for three exams: math, literature and choose one of two combined exams (candidates can also register for both combined exams, and use the exam with the higher result to consider graduation).

Note: The social science combined exam for continuing education candidates only has two components: history and geography.

Independent candidates who have graduated can only register for exams that meet the admission requirements of the majors they will apply for at university or college. These candidates can choose to take the component subjects of the combined exam, and will be placed in separate exam rooms at the exam site according to the exam subjects they registered for.

Candidates for continuing education are also placed in separate examination rooms at the examination site when taking the social science combination exam.
