Make-up exams at Tuyen Quang specialized school: Students say exam questions were difficult

Students at the Tuyen Quang Specialized High School exam center finished their make-up high school graduation exams on August 15, marking the end of the examination period. Strict security measures were in place from early morning, with authorities and local youth volunteers ensuring a safe environment around the school.

By 7 a.m., most students had entered the exam hall for their two chosen subjects, each with a 50-minute multiple-choice format. The exams concluded at 10 a.m., with parents waiting to pick up their children. The Ministry of Education and Training reported a 100% attendance rate among the 326 participants, with no exam integrity violations.

The exam was super difficult, much harder than the previous time.

While the exams proceeded smoothly, some students described the test questions as "super difficult," significantly harder than previous attempts. One female student who took English and Geography found the math exam on the previous day also more challenging than expected. A male student taking physics and chemistry noted similar difficulty. Many students admitted to only beginning their revisions after the make-up exam was announced, limiting their preparation.

The Ministry of Education and Training has scheduled the grading process from August 16 to 18, with results to be publicly announced on August 19. Graduation recognition is expected by August 20, and final graduation confirmation, including after any appeals, by August 28. The results from this second exam round will be integrated into the system for university admissions, subject to the same criteria as regular applicants.
