The 2024 high school graduation exam paper has one change compared to previous years, to avoid candidates making mistakes when writing their registration number.
Mr. Huynh Van Chuong, Director of Quality Management Department, Ministry of Education and Training, said on June 11 that this change is based on the proposal of the Departments.
Previously, when the university entrance exam was held in clusters, the candidate's registration number included both letters and numbers, for example "BKA012345". In the past 7 years, the registration number only has the number part, but the exam paper still has a note printed "Candidates must write both letters and numbers". According to the Departments, this has caused many students to be confused, writing it as "012345 (zero one two three four five)".
Therefore, the Ministry issued a new essay test form, removing this note. Candidates only need to write their correct registration number, for example 012345, which is enough.
For the multiple-choice answer sheet, the Ministry of Education and Training retains the old form. Candidates need to fill in all the information, the last 6 digits of the registration number, and fill in the circles in the number table below (corresponding to the digits written).
In the answer section, for each multiple choice question, candidates choose and fill in a circle in the answers A, B, C, D.
This year’s high school graduation exam will take place on June 26-28 with four tests, including Math, Literature, English and a combination test (Natural Science or Social Science). All subjects will be multiple choice, except for Literature which will be in essay form.
The Ministry of Education and Training said there were about 1.07 million candidates registered, most in Hanoi (more than 109,000), Ho Chi Minh City (nearly 88,200), and Thanh Hoa (nearly 38,700).
Last year, of about one million candidates, 98.88% passed, the highest rate since 2015. Of these, more than 546,000 applied for university admission.
