The Ministry of Education and Training answers this question as follows:
For candidates born in 2008, it is necessary to participate in the 2026 high school graduation exam to consider high school graduation conditions for university admission.
Candidates in general, including candidates born in 2008, participating in the competency assessment exam, are aimed at using the results of this exam for university admission.
