On June 29, after finishing the foreign language test, more than 14,000 candidates in Binh Duong completed the 2023 national high-school graduation exam. After two stressful days, the year's national high-school graduation exam was assessed to take place safely, seriously, in accordance with regulations and with great success.
Candidates with comfortable feeling
On the morning of the second day of the exam, candidates took one of two elective tests with natural sciences (physics - chemistry - biology) and social sciences (history - geography - citizen education) in the form of multiple choice. Each subject in a composite test had a time limit of 50 minutes. In the afternoon, they took a foreign language test within 60 minutes. This was a very stressful day for the exam because there were many subjects in one exam session.

On the last day of the exam, most candidates were in a relaxed and happy mood because they put their best efforts for this important exam. Sharing with us, Nguyen Thi Ngoc Linh, a student at Tay Nam High School in Ben Cat town said: “I did the test quite well today. I am very happy when I finished my high school graduation exam this year. Now I can rest comfortably to make up for the stressful time of studying for the exam and wait for the announcement of the test scores. I hope the results will be as expected.
When the drum to end the final test sounded, Nguyen Thi Thu Thao stood in front of the entrance of Le Loi High School in North Tan Uyen district with her eyes following the line of candidates leaving the exam room to find her child. She confided: “In the past, my family did not have enough conditions, so my learning was unfinished. I went to work early to take care of my younger brothers and sisters. Now, even though my economic conditions are still difficult, I still create the best conditions for my children to study, putting all their hopes on them. This whole week, I have not eaten, lost sleep, due to be worrying about my children taking the exam. I am also very happy when my son did well in the previous exam sessions, and I hope he will pass the exam to enter university."
The exam taking place seriously and in according to regulations
After two stressful days of the exam, the 2023 national high-school graduation exam was judged to take place safely, seriously, in accordance with regulations and with great success. The situation of security, order and traffic safety during the exam was guaranteed. Candidates came to the test sites early, strictly followed the exam room rules. Leaders and proctors of the test sites well realized their tasks, ensuring the exam to take place safely. The “Giving strength to exam season” activities implemented by provincial Youth Union have contributed to ensuring the exam to take place safely and effectively, reducing pressure and creating a comfortable psychology for candidates during the exam period.
According to the preliminary assessment of provincial Department of Education and Training, during the two days of the exam, the plans to ensure security and order were actively implemented by localities and schools in coordination with functional forces. The exam councils closely monitored the situation of candidates, promptly reporting when there were unexpected cases.
In addition, for the exam to take place successfully, localities mobilized the whole political system to seriously and actively participate with the goal of ensuring that the exam took place safely, in accordance with regulations, prioritizing the highest rights and interests for candidates.
The coordination between the examination councils with sectors, units and localities has been proactive, tight and rhythmic. Hypothetical situations that may occur during the exam were also set up to be ready to respond…
According to Nguyen Van Phong, Deputy Director of provincial Department of Education and Training, as of now, the exam has been completed successfully. This result came from the close attention and direction of provincial leaders, especially the steering committee of the 2023 high-school graduation exam along with the synchronous participation of provincial departments, agencies and sectors as well as districts, towns, cities and the efforts by the entire education and training sector. This will be the driving force and experience for provincial education and training sector to continue towards more successful next exams.
