Nearly 18,600 candidates in Quang Nam enter 2025 high school graduation exam

This year, the number of candidates in Quang Nam increased by more than 1,100 compared to last year, leading to adjustments in the exam organization facilities. The whole province arranged 62 exam sites with a total of 832 rooms, of which 52 exam sites are located in high schools and 10 exam sites in secondary schools - to meet the requirements on the number of candidates and facilities. In particular, there are 2 testing locations in Hoi An City and Tam Ky City organized specifically for more than 550 candidates studying under the 2006 General Education Program.

This morning, candidates took the Literature exam - the only subject tested in essay format, with a test time of 120 minutes. Notably, this year's exam has an adjustment in structure: the Reading Comprehension section accounts for 4 points, and the Writing section accounts for 6 points, instead of 3 and 7 points as in previous years. In addition, the materials used in the exam will be texts outside of textbooks, requiring candidates to have good reading comprehension and critical thinking skills. In the afternoon, students will continue with the Math exam in the form of multiple choice.

Candidates studying under the 2006 program will take the following subjects: Literature, Math, and Foreign Language and choose one of two combined exams: Natural Sciences (Physics, Chemistry, Biology) or Social Sciences (History, Geography, Civic Education).

To ensure the exam is safe and serious, the whole province has mobilized more than 3,600 officials, teachers, and support forces. Of which, more than 1,900 exam invigilators, along with thousands of other personnel from the police, medical staff, security guards, orderlies, etc., are arranged at all exam locations, ready to support and take care of the health of candidates.

This year's exam is not only an important challenge for candidates but also an opportunity to demonstrate careful and synchronous preparation from all levels of government, the education sector, and the whole society to ensure a fair, safe, and effective exam.
