After that, the Ministry of Education and Training will also organize an information conference of the National Steering Committee for the 2025 High School Graduation Exam and the score distribution analysis team.

According to the previous plan, the 2025 high school graduation exam scores will be announced at 8:00 a.m. on July 16. After knowing the scores, candidates can calculate their high school graduation scores for 2025.

Graduation recognition scores from 2025 include the scores of the subjects the candidates take the exam (accounting for 50%); the average score (GPA) of the years of high school (accounting for 50%) and priority points and incentive points, if any.

The formula for calculating graduation recognition scores in 2025 is as follows:

Candidates who are eligible to take the exam, have not been disciplined to have their exam results canceled, all subjects achieve above 1 point (on a 10-point scale) and have a graduation score of 5 points or higher will be recognized as graduating from high school.

According to the plan, the Departments of Education and Training and high schools will complete the recognition of high school graduation no later than July 18.

Departments of Education and Training will announce high school graduation results no later than July 20.

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

The collection of appeal applications and the preparation of the appeal list will take place from July 16 to July 25. The organization of the exam appeal (if any) will be completed no later than August 3.

In 2025, there will be 1,165,289 candidates registered to take the high school graduation exam, an increase of 93,894 compared to 2024 (1,071,395 candidates). Of which, 97.71% (1,138,579 students) will take the exam under the 2018 General Education Program; 2.29% (26,711 students) under the 2006 General Education Program.
