The 2025 high school graduation exam is the first exam for students studying the 2018 general education program.

However, to facilitate candidates studying the old program who have not graduated from high school or have graduated but take the exam to use the results for university admission, the Ministry of Education and Training organizes an exam for both subjects studying the two programs, with two different sets of exam questions and different exam methods.

Candidates studying the 2006 program who have not yet graduated from high school will take 4 exams including Math, Literature, English and 1 of 2 combined exams: Natural Sciences (including Physics, Chemistry, Biology) and Social Sciences (including History, Geography, Civic Education).

Candidates taking the 2018 exam program will take 4 exams including Math, Literature and 2 optional exams from the subjects of Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Informatics, Technology, History, Geography, Economics and Law, and Foreign Language.

According to the plan, candidates will know their graduation exam scores at 8am tomorrow. After that, the Departments of Education and Training and high schools will complete the process of recognizing high school graduation no later than July 18.

Units will print and send exam result certificates to candidates no later than July 22.
