According to the reporter's records at the exam locations, from 6:15 am, many students have been present at the exam locations, taking the opportunity to review Literature - the first subject in this year's high school graduation exam.

The Literature subject will be tested in an essay format, for 120 minutes. However, the exam has changed the scoring distribution, specifically including 2 parts: Reading comprehension (4 points) and Writing (6 points). In particular, the language used in this year's exam will be outside textbooks - this is something that many students are worried about.

The 2025 high school graduation exam will be held on June 26 and 27, 2025.

In 2025, compared to previous years, there will be a reduction of 1 exam session and 2 exams, thereby reducing pressure and reducing social costs while still ensuring exam quality.

In order to ensure fairness for candidates studying under the 2006 graduation exam or university admission program, the Ministry of Education and Training will organize two separate exams under two programs for two groups of candidates. Candidates taking the 2006 program will take the exam at their own exam scores.
