Vietnam - Ministry unveils tests for high school grad exam


The Ministry of Education and Training (MoET) announced Friday the six tests that 12th graders must take in the forthcoming high school graduation exam which takes place on June 2, 3, and 4.

Full-time students will accordingly sit for tests on math, literature, foreign languages, chemistry, geography, and history while part-time ones and those coming from disadvantaged areas will take physics as a replacement of the foreign language test.

The students will take a test on one of the following languages, depending on their curricula: English, Russian, French, Chinese, German, and Japanese.

MoET will use multiple-choice tests for physics, chemistry, and foreign languages whereas the constructed-response testing form will be applied in math, literature, history, and geography.

Visually impaired students or those who have been selected for the national team to compete in international academic contests are exempt from the exam.

This is the fourth consecutive year geography has been chosen, a surprise to both students and teachers since it is somehow an unwritten rule that the first three tests are fixed but the rest change every year.

The exam is one of the two most important for Vietnamese 12th graders, the other being the national university entrance exam due one month later.
